Hand-Bike Axle Adjustment
Hand-Bike-Axle
It is necessary to adjust the hand-bike axle to bias the
centre of gravity rearwards. This allows safe use of a
hand-bike accessory, (Fig.4.10.1).
DANGER!
Using a hand-bike without the hand-bike axle makes the
wheelchair unstable and can lead to serious injury of the
user and other people.
Hand-Bike Reinforcement Kit
To assemble the hand-bike reinforcement kit:
•
Insert the nipple at one end of the cable into the
receptor at the front of the frame, (Fig.4.10.2).
•
Insert the nipple at the other end of the cable into
the receptor at the rear of the frame, (Fig.4.10.3).
•
Insert the tensioner tool, (A), into the cable receptor
at the rear of the frame, (Fig.4.10.4).
•
Move the tensioner tool, (A), upwards until the
receptor and the front tube, (B), just starts to move
towards the rear, (Fig.4.10.5).
•
Hold the cable under tension with the tensioner tool
and tighten the screw on the rear cable receptor,
(Fig.4.10.5). .
•
Repeat the process for the other side.
WARNING!
The tension of both cables must be checked for
tightness before and after each use of the hand-bike.
