4. Assembly and adjustments
You can carry out the adjustments of your wheelchair yourself with a
little manual dexterity. You need a set of 5 mm to 8 mm Allen keys and
ring spanners, SW10 and SW13. If you have any queries, please contact
your mobility dealer.
4.1. Set up
After unpacking the box, you must first put the wheelchair in working
order and get it ready for use.
•
Put the back rest in the upright position
•
Attach the backrest to the gas pressure cylinder for adjusting the
backrest by bolting it into place with the bolts. (Fig. 3) Since both
parts are loose, you will have to use sufficient force when attaching
them together..
•
Now, close the locking device (Fig. 4)
•
Attach the drive (rear) wheels with the quick-release axle.
•
Activate the parking brakes on the right and left drive wheels.
•
Put the seat cushion and padding for the backrest in place.
•
Mount the legrests and fold the foot plates upwards
•
Now, you can sit down in the wheelchair.
•
Attach the push handles and secure them
4.2. Foot plates
•
The length of the support for the lower leg is fully adjustable.
•
Unfasten the quick-release fastener.
•
Select the desired height. (Fig. 5)
•
Re-tighten the quick-release fastener.
•
The foot plates must be folded upwards and swung to the side
when getting into or out of the wheelchair.
•
The footplate can be adjusted along the notches in the bracket by
loosening the Allen (hexagon) screw (SW 5) . (Fig. 6)
4.3. Leg rests
•
The easiest possible access to your wheelchair can be facilitated by
folding the foot plates up, swinging the leg supports out and away
and even removing them by pulling them upward.
•
To swing a leg support out and away, pull it up around 3 cm until it
can be swung outwards (Fig. 7).
•
To remove a leg support, pull it fully up and away (Fig. 8).
•
Proceed in the reverse order to reassemble a leg support.
•
Push the tube back onto the leg support bracket.
•
Swing the leg support to the front again until it slides back to its
original position.
•
The leg supports are independent from each other and can be
adjusted until they are horizontal.
When unfolding it, keep your fingers on the seat
cover; otherwise there is a risk of pinching!
Please be careful with your fingers when making
adjustments. Risk of entrapment!
