(Fig.17).
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
caution!
After adjusting the seat height, all screws must be re-tightened and
the wheel lock must be readjusted.
The castors must be set at 90
°
