Handling
Quick-Release Axles for Rear
Wheels (6.2)
The rear wheels are equipped with
quick-release axles. The wheels
can thus be installed or removed
without using tools. To remove a
wheel, simply depress the quick-
release button on the axle (1) and
pull it out.
CAUTION:
Hold the quick-release button on
the axle depressed when inser-
ting the axle into the frame to mount the rear
wheels. Release the button to lock the wheel in
place. The quick-release button should snap
back to its original position.
Options – Tipping Tubes
Tipping Tubes
(7.1)
Tipping tubes are used by atten-
dants to tip a wheelchair over an
obstacle. Simply step on the tube
to push a wheelchair, for example,
over a curb or step.
Options – Wheel Locks
Wheel Locks (7.10)
Your wheelchair is equipped with
two wheel locks. They are applied
directly against the tires. To enga-
ge, press both wheel-lock levers
forward against the stops (Fig.
10.1 and 10.3). To release the
wheel, pull the levers back to their
original positions.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tire tread
• Tire pressure that is too low
• Wet tires
• 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 tires and
wheel locks complies with given
specifications (Fig. 10.2 and 10.4).
To readjust, loosen screw (1) and
set the appropriate interval. Tigh-
ten 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.

Extension for the Brake Lever

(7.11)
The extension for the brake lever
can be removed or folded down.
The longer lever helps to minimize
the effort needed to set the wheel
locks.
Caution:
Mounting the wheel lock too clo-
se toward the wheel will result in
a higher effort to operate. This
might cause the brake lever
extension to break!
Leaning onto the brake lever extension while trans-
ferring will cause the lever to break! Splashing water
from tires might cause the wheel lock to malfunc-
tion.
Options – Adjusting the Footrest

Adjusting the Footrest

(7.25)
Removing screw (1) will allow you
to adjust the footrest to corre-
spond to the length of your lower
leg. The angle of the footrest may
be individually adjusted (not rigid
footrest) by loosening nuts (2). The
footrest bracket (3) prevents feet
from unintentionally slipping out
place. When finished, make sure
that all screws have been properly
tightened (see the page on torque).
Options – Casters

Casters

(7.43)
Because seat adjustments are
made directly on the seat frame,
you will not need to adjust the
caster mounts. However, to main-
tain the fork at a constant angle of
90°, the casters can only be moun-
ted in the holes provided (see pic-
ture). When finished, make sure
that all screws have been properly
tightened (see the page on torque).
