ADJUSTING THE CALF PAD
(Fig 17).
The calf pad can be adjusted as
follows:
Height: Open bolt (4) and move the
clamping piece to the desired
position. By rotating the clamping
piece also the angle can be
adjusted.
Depth: Open bolt (5) and move the
calf pad into the desired position.
Width: Open bolt (5) and position the
spacers (6) behind the pad, to get
the desired position.
WARNING!
•
Keep hands clear of the adjustable mechanism between the
frame and the movable parts of the foot rest, while elevating or
lowering the footrest.
•
Always make sure that the fasteners are secure.
•
The foot rests must not be used to lift or to carry the
wheelchair.
•
Risk of trapping fingers! When moving the foot rest up or
down, do not put your fingers in the adjusting mechanism
between the moving parts of the foot rest.
AMPUTEE SUPPORT
(Fig.18).
The Amputee Support can be
adjusted in every direction as
required.
CASTORS, CASTOR PLATES, FORKS
The wheelchair may veer slightly to the right or left, or the castors
may wobble. This may be caused by the following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set properly.
• The castor angle has not been set correctly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; the 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 authorised dealer. The wheel locks must be checked every time
the rear wheel position has been altered.
The seat height is determined by the
castor and rear wheel position. The
seat height can be adjusted by
altering the position of the rear
wheels and the castors and by using
spacers, (Fig.19).
CAUTION!
After adjusting the seat height, all
screws must be re-tightened and the
wheel lock must be readjusted.

Options - Castors
Options - Castor Adapter
NOTE:
You can change the angle of the castor axle by altering the position
of the castor/rear wheel. This should always be approx. 90°.
ADJUSTING THE CASTOR AXLE ANGLE:
Release the screws (1), pull the castor adaptor outwards, set a 90°
angle and then re-tighten the screws (Fig. 20-21).
CAUTION!
The castor axle angle must be set the same on both sides (check by
marking).
HORIZONTAL AXLE POSITION
The axle plate can be adjusted
forwards to give greater
manoeuvrability or to the rear to give
greater stability (Fig. 22).
The larger the wheelbase the greater
the security against your wheelchair
tipping over
Options – Castor adapter
HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE
BACKREST
The height of the backrest can be set
to 2 or 3 different positions
(depending on the model) (41 cm,
43.5 cm and 46 cm). Release and

the backrest tube to the desired
position. Tighten up the bolts again
(Fig. 23).

ANGLE
The angle of the backrest can be set
to 6 different positions (-5° forwards,
0°, 5°, 10°, 15° and 20° backwards).
To adjust the angle, remove the
screw (1), set the desired angle and
then re-tighten the screw (Fig. 24).
ADJUSTABLE BACKREST
