Adjusting the brakes
When fully released, the maximum distance
between the brake latch and the tyre should be
no more than 40 mm.
To adjust the brakes, loosen the bolt at the top
of the brake (refer to picture) and slide the metal
bracket left or right to set the correct distance.
Securely tighten the bolt and check the
adjustment has not affected proper brake
function – when the brakes are engaged the rear
wheels should not move.
Adjusting the footrest height
Correct leg position is achieved when the occupant’s
feet can be placed flat on the footplates when his /
her thighs are resting horizontally on the seat.
To adjust the height of the footrests, use the Allen
Key (provided in the toolkit) to loosen the bolt on
the leg support (do not remove).
Adjust each footrest by sliding up or down until the
desired position and height are reached, ensuring
both footplates are at the same height.
Tighten the bolt firmly to lock into place.
Adjusting the anti-tip wheels
This wheelchair includes adjustable anti-tip wheels
for enhanced stability and safety. They can be
adjusted in length to suit the individual occupant.
To adjust the length of the anti-tip wheels, use
thumb and forefinger to pull the spring loaded
silver disc back and release the locking pin.
Use the other hand to slide the shaft up or down to
adjust the height of the wheels to the desired length.
Release the disc to lock the pin against one of the
holes on the shaft. Ensure the pin is firm.
