DIRECTIONALITY
Adjusting the directionality
Check that the two forks are perpendicular to the ground. If they are not, proceed with the adjustment of the fork angle following the in-
structions on the sheet FORK ANGLE ADJUSTMENT.
If both forks axis are correct but the wheelchair still turns right or left, it means that the latitudinal angle is not perfect.
This may be due to hit, to improper pressure exercised on the fork or its support, or to a tiny imperfection among all parts fixed together
due to their manufacturing tolerances.
Since the “hexagon system” does not allow for latitudinal (camber) adjustment, the only way to correct the angle is to put a
sort of spacer
between the upper or lower side of the fork support and the plate where it is fixed. The spacer can simply be a piece of plastic strapping
(0.5 mm
–
1 mm thick).
To incline the fork internally
1
, position the strapping on the upper side of the fork support.
To incline the fork externally
2
, position the strapping on the lower side of the fork support.
