Fitting the handbike to the wheelchair and the rider
sits at the set height. The position clamps are
included in the delivery and should be attached to
the wheelchair.
If your wheelchair has removable footrests, an
adaptation is necessary, as otherwise no stable
connection can be made between the handbike or
traction device and the wheelchair.

(optional)

mounted on the rigid part of the wheelchair. The
clamping surface then runs forward and provides
a stable and straight support surface for the
clamp. With the different holes, the adapter can be
adapted to the wheelchair.

7.4.3 Wheel alignment
Make sure that the screws S1L and S1R as well as
S3L and S3R are only slightly tightened. A slight
adjustment according to the wheelchair should still
be possible. Make sure that the handbike stands
straight.
Align the wheel of the handbike exactly in the
center of the wheelchair track. A maximum
deviation of 1 cm from the center is permissible.
Use the footrest to check the alignment.
WARNING
An incorrectly aligned drive wheel can lead to
accidents due to poor straight-ahead running and
swinging tendencies.
To simplify the adjustment, you can make a
template. Then drive the wheelchair up to the
template so that the wheels are the same distance
from the line of symmetry. Place the drive wheel of
