Options – Anti-Tip Tubes
Anti-tip tubes
(7.93.1)
The anti-tip tubes provide additional
safety for inexperienced users when
they are still learning how to operate
their wheelchairs. Anti-tip tubes pre-
vent a wheelchair from tipping over
backwards. By pulling the interlock (1),
the anti-tip tube can be height adjust-
ed. There should be a gap of 2,5 cm to
the floor. To go up or down a step (e.g.
kerb) the anti-tip tubes must be swung
upwards, to prevent them from touch-
ing the ground.
Options – Seat
Standard seat sling
(7.101.1)
The seat sling has Velcro
®
fastening on each side.
This makes it possible to re-tension it easily. To re-
tension the seat sling, fold the wheelchair slightly.
Remove the screws (1).
By opening the Velcro
®
fastening the seat sling can
now be re-adjusted. To re-assemble, follow the
procedure in reverse order. Make sure that after the
adjustment work, all screws are re-tightened (see
page on Torque).
ATTENTION!
In order to ensure safety, at least 50% of the
Velcro
surface must be in contact.
®
Seat depth
(7.102.2)
By loosening the screws (1) the
position of the seat sling can be
changed and therefore the seat
depth can be altered. Re-tighten
the screws afterwards (see
Torque).
Options – Crutch Holder
Crutch Holder
(7.110)
This device permits crutches to be transported directly on a
wheelchair. It has a Velcro loop (1) to fasten crutches or other aids.
CAUTION:
Never try to use or even remove the crutches or other aids
while moving.

Options – Travel Wheels
Travel Wheels
(7.113)
Travel wheels should be used wherever your wheelchair would be
too wide if the rear wheels were used (e.g., in airplanes, buses,
etc.). After the rear wheels have been removed with the aid of the
quick-release axles, the transit wheels can immediately be used to
continue riding. The transit wheels are mounted so that they are
approx. 3 centimeters above the ground when not in use. They are
thus out of the way when riding, transporting, or when tipping to
pass over obstacles (e.g., kerbs, steps, etc.).
CAUTION:
Your wheelchair does not have any wheel locks when the tran-
sit wheels are being used.
Tyres and Mounting
Tyres and Mounting
(8.1)
Always make sure you that you maintain the correct tyre pressure,
as this can have an effect on wheelchair performance. If the tyre
pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increase, requiring more
effort to move the chair forward. Low tyre pressure also has a
negative impact on maneuverability. If the tyre pressure is too high,
the tyre could burst.
The correct pressure for a given tyre is printed on the surface of
the tyre itself.
Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle tyre.
Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make sure
that the base of the rim and the interior of the tyre are free of for-
eign objects. Check the pressure after mounting or repairing a tyre.
It is critical to your safety and to the wheelchair's performance that
regulation air pressure be maintained and that tyres be in good
condition.
Possible Problems
Wheelchair pulls to one side
• Check tyre pressure
• Check to make sure wheel turns easily
(bearings, axle)
• Check to make sure both castors are making
proper contact with the ground
Castors begin to wobble
(9.2.1)
• Check to make sure all bolts are secure; tighten if necessary (see
the page on torque)
• Check to make sure both castors are making proper contact
with the ground
Wheelchair / Cross-tube assembly does not snap into position
in the seat saddle
(9.3)
• Chair is still new, i.e., the seat or backrest upholstery is still very
stiff. This will improve with continued use.
Wheelchair is difficult to fold up
• Screws of the cross-tube brackets are too tight.
Wheelchair squeaks and rattles
• Check to make sure bolts are secure; tighten if necessary (see
the page on torque)
• Apply small amount of lubrication to spots where movable parts
come in contact with one another
Wheelchair begins to wobble
• Check tyre pressure.
• Check to see if rear wheels are adjusted differently.
