PYRO START
| Lightweight wheelchair
•
The arm supports for the side parts (desk/long) are fitted as desk
(short) on delivery.
•
They are switched to long by turning the arm support through 180°
and mounting on the opposite side part (Fig. 12).
4.7. Parking brake
The Pyro Start is equipped with a tyre brake which can be controlled
12
by the person sitting in the wheelchair. It must only be used to park
the wheelchair. It is not suitable for slowing down the wheelchair
while it is in motion! The push rims should be used for this purpose, by
applying light pressure on them with the palm of your hands. Once the
wheelchair has been slowed down this way, apply both tyre brakes by
pushing the brake levers forwards. The wheelchair is now safely held
in place.
x = 15 mm
•
The gap between the pivot bolt and the tyre cover must be X = 15
13
mm at the narrowest point when the braking mechanism is opened
to its maximum position (Fig. 13).
•
To adjust the gap, loosen the two Allen screws on the brake mounting
(underside - Fig. 14).
•
You can then slide the braking system along the mounting into the
correct position.
•
The braking bolt must be aligned horizontally, that is parallel to the
14
ground surface.
•
Then tighten both Allen screws up again.
•
Make sure that the brake fully locks into place when the lever is
operated and that it does not snap back.

Adjustment of the brakes should be carried out by
specialist trained staff. However, if you have enough
experience, you can also carry out this work yourself.
Nevertheless, please bear in mind that incorrectly
adjusted brakes may have life-threatening conse-
quences.
To ensure the brake operates to its maximum capa-
bility, there must be a tyre pressure of 300 - 400 kPa
(3-4 bar) for pneumatic tyres! If the tyre pressure is
not as specified, there is a loss of braking efficiency!
4.8. Seat height
There are 3 positions allowing the seat height to be adapted to the
user's requirements.
Driving wheel and steering wheel must be in the same position in each
case. TOP – MIDDLE – BOTTOM
4.9. Wheels
4.9.1. Driving wheel
•
Take the driving wheels off using the quick-release axle.
•
Loosen the screws on the adapter (Allen key, SW 4 and ring spanner
SW 10) and pull them out completely (Fig. 15).
•
Place the adapter at the required seat height.
•
Reinsert the screws into the adapter and tighten them up again.
