Hand-Bike Axle Adjustment - Quickie Nitrum Notice D'utilisation

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.
