From time to time the wheelchair
may veer slightly to the right or left,
or the castors may flutter.
This may be caused by the follow-
ing:
• The forward or reverse wheel mo-
tion has not been set properly.
• The castor angle has not been
adjusted properly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pres-
sure is incorrect; wheels do not turn
smoothly.
The optimum adjustment of the castors is required so that the
wheelchair runs in a straight line. The castors should always be
adjusted by an authorised dealer.
The castor plates must be re-adjusted, and the wheel locks must be
checked any time the rear wheel position has been altered. Check
the setting of the castor adapter (1) by placing a set-square next to
it and looking at it from the front. Make sure that the adapter is at
right angles to the floor. By undoing the screws (2) and moving the
adapter, you can then re-adjust the wheels to their optimum position,
by adjusting the corresponding teeth segments. Make sure that after
any adjustment work, all screws are tightened correctly (see the
page on torque).

Perforated plate

The position of the centre of gravity in
relation to the rear wheel is an important
factor for easy and comfortable driving.
Several positions are possible. If you
move the perforated plate to the rear
(1) in the frame holes (2), the chair is in
a safe position, but at the same time is
not so manoeuvrable, as it is when the
perforated plate is positioned further
forward.
By moving the axle adapter (3) in the
perforated plate, the seat height of the
chair can be adjusted. Make sure that after any adjust-
work, all screws are tightened correctly (see the page
torque).
CAUTION!
If necessary, the brakes and castors must be re-adjusted.

Options - Camber

Camber

The camber of the chair can be adjusted
from 1° to 4°.
Doing this gives increased stability
against the wheelchair falling to the side,
and will also improve the wheelchair's
manoeuvrability.
Loosen the screws on the perforated
plate (1). Then adjust the adaptor (2) to
the desired angle setting. Then tighten
the screws again (see the page on
torque).
Setting the wheel camber increases the
overall width of the wheelchair (each
degree adds on approx. 1 cm).
CAUTION!
If necessary, the
brakes and castors must be
re-adjusted.
Options - Backrest
Angle-adjustable fixed back
The angle-adjustable backrest can be
set to 7 positions (9° forwards, 0°, 3°,
6° and 9° backwards). By loosening
and removing the screw (1) the angle
can be adjusted in stages of 3°
For your own safety, adjustment work
should always be carried out by your
dealer.
Adjustable back sling
The adjustable back sling can be
adjusted for tension by using sever-
al straps. The back sling upholstery
can be accessed from the inside
via an opening and can be padded
to suit individual tastes.
