Service Manual EXELLE JUNIOR 46
SERVICE MANUAL
SEAT DEPTH / FRAME LENGTH
PARTICULAR NOTES
The
spacers
include a flanged IGUS buckle on one side only.
This flange prevents the contact between the aluminium parts on the junction.
Pay attention to this aspect.
Between some junction frame/crossbar, there may be an
IGUS washer
to
compensate a possible gap. When assembling the parts, make sure you put
these washers where they were originally located.
The
connection tubes
have three holes on the side of the rear frame and they
are meant for the different frame lengths. In some case, only for the lower tube
and only if the frame becomes short (thus, after removing all spacers), due to
the contact with the curved part of the frame, the tube may not reach the point
where the holes are aligned. Should that happen, you have to round off the
lower side corner of the tube end just enough.
If the frame are hard to remove
, you can use a mallet.
If the connection tunes are hard to slide,
you can use a mallet or you can use a pin
through one free hole and proceed with a turn-and-pull or turn-and-push movement.
Sometimes,
a nut that fix the seat canvas to the seat tube
interferes with the crossbar support
. Should that happen,
fix the support through another hole and fix the side guard
support adding a spacer for Ø 25 mm tube + bolt/washer/nut.
If you change the frame to long frame, the
front fixing point
of the side guard support
will correspond to the bolt fixing
the frame to the connection tube.
It is not advisable to use such point because the inner tube
may not be properly tightened and it may create some play on
the frame.
Therefore, you have to change the point where to fix the side
guard support.
To do that, first, fix the front side of the side guard support
(together with the crossbar support or separated according to
the case). Turn the side guard support until aligning its fixing
point to the frame’s axis. Position the crossbar support, open
the crossbar and let it lock on the four supports. Drill a 5 mm
hole through the frame. Finally fix the parts.
Should the wheelchair be equipped with
Flip-up armrests
, the adjust-
ments remain the same.
You have to fix the front support of the armrest through one of the two
holes ahead of the one fixing the frame to the connection tube.
The Flip-up armrest is depth adjustable.
Should the wheelchair be equipped with
Desk armrests
, the armrest sup-
port is fixed through two Ø 8 mm holes on the upper side of the rear frame.
To make the system stable, the fixing bolts pass through two cylindrical
spacers.
While adjusting the frame length, you always need to remove the armrest
support and their cylindrical spacers.
The connection tube is fixed through the same holes. If, after adjustment,
one or both holes on the tube were still Ø 6 mm, just pass the holes with
an 8 mm drill pin.
