6.16 Hand-Bike Axle
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.6.16.1).
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.
• Only use add-on devices approved for the use in
combination with your wheelchair.
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.6.16.2).
• Insert the nipple at the other end of the cable into the
receptor at the rear of the frame, (Fig.6.16.3).
• Insert the tensioner tool, (A), into the cable receptor at
the rear of the frame, (Fig.6.16.4).
• Move the tensioner tool, (A), upwards until the receptor
and the front tube, (B), just starts to move towards the
rear, (Fig.6.16.5).
• Hold the cable under tension with the tensioner tool
and tighten the screw on the rear cable receptor,
(Fig.6.16.5).
• 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.
