How do I handle and adjust the
Madiba2Go Active? (Carer)
Apply and adjust brakes:
These are pushed forwards (to apply) and backwards (to release).
Adjust brakes with a no 10 spanner e.g. if the tilt position of the
Madiba2Go Active has been changed which may affect the working of
the brakes. The brake adjustment can only be done once the buck has
been removed. The front bolt can be loosened using a 10mm spanner
and a 4 mm allen key. The rear bolt can be loosened with the use of a
spanner (10mm).
Rear wheels:
These can be easily removed from the frame by pressing the quick
release button.
Anti-tips:
There are 3 settings for the position of the anti-tips. Press clip button
to change position These can be removed if necessary by pushing
down the button and sliding the anti-tips out of position. When in the
‘down’ position they help make the Madiba2Go Active safer for the young
active user. The anti-tips can be stowed away by swapping them around
to face forwards.
Adjust push handle position:
The Madiba2Go Active is intended for the active user who can push the
Madiba2Go Active independently. The position of the push handle can
be moved into a less/more upright position. However this should not
need to be changed often once it has been set in the correct position for
the carer by the therapist. A 5mm allen key and 13mm spanner will be
needed to do this. The height of the push handle is not adjustable.
Adjust tilt in space:
To adjust, turn the knob on the frame underneath the seat and tilt the
user gently backwards. Tighten in position by turning the hand knob
firmly. You will need to loosen the bolt on both sides before setting in
the final position with the catch in place in the correct hole. Make sure
no pieces work loose when you are adjusting the tilt position.
The frame can tilt back 5-20 degrees. Always warn the user if you are
going to adjust the tilt backwards. Tighten in position. It may be easier
to adjust the tilt position while the user is out of the device.
Tilt in space with holes for adjustment.
