Footplates; Castors - Sunrise Medical QUICKIE Classic 100 Notice D'utilisation

One Hand Wheel Locks
Your wheelchair is equipped with
two sets of wheel locks, that ope-
rate from the left or the right side.
They are applied directly against
the tyres. To engage, press the
wheel-lock lever forward against
the stop (fig. 1). To release the
wheel, pull the lever back to the
original position.
Holding power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• Wet tyres
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks.
The wheel locks have not been
designed to be used as brakes for
a moving wheelchair. The wheel
locks should therefore never be
used to brake a moving
wheelchair. Always use the hand-
rims for braking. Make sure that
the interval between the tyres and
wheel locks complies with given
specifications. To readjust, loosen
screw and set the appropriate interval.
Tighten screw (see the page on torque).
CAUTION:
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check
the interval to the wheel locks and readjust if
necessary.
Mounting the wheel lock too close toward the
wheel, will result in a higher effort to operate.
This might cause the brake lever extension to
break! Leaning on to the brake lever extension
while transfering will cause the lever to break!
Splashing water from tyres might cause the
wheel lock to malfunction.
Options – Footplates

Footplates

The footplates can be flipped up to

legrest can be adjusted to fit any
lower leg length. Loosen the
screws, set the tubing with legrest
in the desired position, and then
tighten the screws. (See the page
on torque).
A minimum interval of 2.5 centimetres from the
ground should always be maintained.

To remove the legrest, pull the
lever (1), swing the footrest towards
the in or outside and lift to remove
it. Make sure that the legrest is
properly locked into place.
CAUTION:
The legrests should not be used to lift or to carry
the wheelchair.

adjustment):
To elevate:
Pull the footrest upwards and adjust it to the desired
height. You will hear the footrest click into place.
To lower:
Lift the lower leg and press the release lever to
unlock the footrest. You may now lower the footrest.
As soon as you let go of the lever, the footrest will
lock into place.

between the frame and the movable parts of the
footrest while elevating or lowering the footrest.

Footrests are not to be used for lifting or carry-
ing the wheelchair.
Stump pad
The stump pad can be adjusted in all directions to
fit the users need.
Options – Castor
Castors, Castor Plates, Forks
From time to time the wheelchair may veer slightly
to the right or left, or the castors may flutter. This
may be caused by the following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not
been set properly.
• The castor angle has not been adjusted properly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect;
wheels do not turn smoothly.
The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the
castors have not been properly adjusted. Castors
should always be adjusted by an authorized dealer.
The castor plates must be readjusted, and the
wheel locks must be checked any time the rear
wheel position has been altered.
