If you make adjustments to the length of the
longitudinal tubes while the handbike is coupled
to the wheelchair, also loosen the S2L and S2R
bolts to avoid tension in the frame.
To adjust the width of the clamping device, loosen
the S2L and S2R screws. Adjust the clamping
device to the width of the wheelchair frame. Make
