SERVICE MANUAL
DIRECTIONALITY
ADJUSTING THE DIRECTIONALITY
Check that the two forks are perpendicular to the ground. If they are
not, proceed with the adjustment of the fork angle following the instruc-
tions on the sheet FORK ANGLE ADJUSTMENT.
If both forks axis are correct but the wheelchair still turns right or left, it
means that the latitudinal angle is not perfect.
This may be due to hit, to improper pressure exercised on the fork or
its support, or to a tiny imperfection among all parts fixed together due
to their manufacturing tolerances.
System with hexagon
This adjustment systems does not allow for latitudinal (camber) adjust-
ment, the only way to correct the angle is to put a sort of spacer be-
tween the upper or lower side of the fork support and the plate where it
is fixed. The spacer can simply be a piece of plastic strapping (0.5 mm
–
1 mm thick).
To incline the fork internally
1
, position the strapping on the upper side
of the fork support.
To incline the fork externally
2
, position the strapping on the lower side
of the fork support.
Other systems
Make sure the two bolts
A
are well tightened.
In fact, if they are not fully tightened, the clamp will not take a proper
hold on the frame and the support position may not be precise.
Then, continue according to the type of system.
With spirit level
See sheet “fork angle 2” –

Loosen all four grab screws
G
, remove the bolt
F
and slide off the fork
complete with the axle
P
.
The axle has two side hollows
B
where you have to cast the flat inserts
C0
or the 1° titled inserts
C1
that are recognizable thanks to two dots.
With the flat inserts
C0
, the axle keep its original inclination.
With the tilted inserts
C1
, the axle tilts by 1° right or left according to
how to cast them in the hollows
—
see images.
Note: you can cast the inserts only as indicated in these images.
For the adjustment of the fork angle,
see chapters “fork angle”.
