Fitting To The Wheelchair For The First Time; Fitting The Clamps To The Wheelchair - Sunrise Medical Empulse StreetJet Manuel D'utilisation

4.0 Fitting to the wheelchair for the first time

4.1. Fitting the clamps to the wheelchair

The pulling device must only be fitted to wheelchairs for
which there is a reciprocal combination declaration
between Sunrise Medical and the manufacturer of the
wheelchair.
The delivery includes the appropriate clamps for your
wheelchair. If you have ordered the clamps for frames
with round tubes, There are two different sets of round
frame tube clamps available which can be fine adjusted
between 19mm and 24mm / 25mm and 35mm.
To fine adjust the clamps to your frame tube diameter
position the front frame of the wheelchair in the clamps.
Open the jaws of the One Touch Clamp using the clamp
lever.
Use a 4mm Allen key to adjust the threaded adjuster on
the one touch clamp. This adjusts the force of the one
touch clamp on the frame of your wheelchair. Turn the
threaded adjuster anti-clockwise to open out the clamp
jaw. With the jaws open, position them on the frame.
Close the lever to engage the clamp, then tighten the
threaded adjuster to pull the jaws in until they touch the
frame of your wheelchair. Once the jaws are touching
against the frame of your chair, release the clamp lever
and further tighten the threaded adjuster ¾ of a clockwise
turn. Engage the clamp using the lever and check the
StreetJet is firmly attached to your wheelchair.
Empulse StreetJet Rev.A
The Empulse StreetJet cannot fit to wheelchairs with
swing away footrests.
DANGER!
- If the clamps are fitted on removable footrests this will
lead to damage to the wheelchair and can lead to a fall
and injury to the user.
CAUTION
• Make sure that the Empulse StreetJet is securely
attached to the wheelchair.
• Check the torque of the clamps at regular intervals.
NOTE:
• Wherever torque settings are specified, it is strongly
recommended that a torque-wrench (not included), is
used to verify correct torque specification is achieved. If
no other information is given, the generic torque for M6
screws is 7Nm.
CAUTION:
• Some of the screws that are used in manufacture have
a thread lock (blue dot on the threads) and can be used
up to three times, then they must be replaced by new
screws with thread lock. Alternatively, you can put
Loctite™ 243 threadlock on the screws and re-fit them.
