Rear Wheels; Upholstery Fabric - Ki Mobility Catalyst 5Vx Manual De Instrucciones

V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
P. Rear Wheels
WARNING: Before operating chair, assure the push button is completely extended and locking
balls on the inside are fully engaged. Failure to do so may result in the wheel falling off, which could
cause a fall or tip-over. A fall or tip-over could result in serious injury or death to you or others.
1. Installing Wheels
a. Push in the axle release button on the axle to allow the
locking balls to retract. Make note of the difference
between the extended and depressed position of the axle
release button and its effect on the locking balls on the
other end of the axle (Fig. 23).
b. Insert the axle into the bearing housing on the wheel if it's
separate.
c. Push on quick release button again and slide axle into axle
sleeve (Fig. 23).
d. Release the button to lock axle in sleeve. If release button
does not fully extend and the locking balls do not move
into the locked position after releasing the button, the axle
length needs to be adjusted.
2. Removing Wheels
a. Hold the wheel close to the hub and push in the button on the outside end of the axle.
b. While still holding the button, pull the wheel and axle out of the axle sleeve.
Q. Upholstery Fabric
1. You must immediately replace seat and back upholstery that has worn through and shows
signs of failing. If you fail to do so, the seat or back may fail.
2. The seat sling material will weaken over time. Look for fraying, thin spots, or stretching of
fabrics, especially at edges and seams. This should be done weekly.
3. The repeated action of transferring to your wheelchair will weaken sling material and result in
the need to inspect and replace the seat more often.
4. Be aware that laundering or excess moisture will reduce flame retardation of the fabric.
5. Contact your wheelchair provider if you have concerns about your seat or back, or feel it
needs to be replaced.
