WARNING
When lifting the front wheels into the driving
position, both locking pins must engage
simultaneously. This is absolutely necessary for
proper function.
The length of the latching slot provides a reference
point for the setting. When the handbike is parked,
about 1 cm of this should be visible. The longer the
visible part is in the parked position, the greater the
ground clearance in the driving position.
After adjustments have been completed, check the
ground clearance by lifting the front wheels of the
wheelchair into driving position. We recommend a
ground clearance of approx. 3-4 cm. Carry out the
previously described steps until the adjustment
meets your requirements. The adjustment of the
ground clearance may have an effect on the crank
position. Adjust this again if necessary.
