Seat width growth (Fig. 4.32 / 4.33)
Please open on each side of the frame the screws (1) and
separate the frame from the cross brace. Then take the
composite sleeves (2) out of their position in the cross brace
ends, turn them 180° and put them back into the cross brace
ends in the reversed position. Afterwards open the central cross
brace bolt (3) and remove the bolt. Then remove and reverse
the composite sleeves (4) also 180° and reposition them at the
cross brace. Now install the central bolt into the cross brace
again and close the screw with 7 NM. Finally bring the frames
and the cross brace together and close the screws (1) with 7
Nm again.
In order to adjust the seat upholstery open the screws (1),
remove the seat rail end plugs and pull the upholstery off the
seat rails. Then adjust the width of the upholstery with the
Velcro below the seat. Finally install the upholstery and the end
plugs in the seat rails and tighten the screws (See Fig. 4.27)
The back upholstery is width adjustable with Velcro straps –
both the straps as well as the cover therefore have Velcro parts
attached.
Finally the footrest offer a width adjustment over clamps (see
chapter footrests page.12)
Seat depth growth (Fig. 4.34)
In order to adjust the seat depth, please open both
screws (1) on each side of the cross brace / seat rails.
Then move the seat rail and seat upholstery to the
dedicated position, ensure that both sides are aligned
and then tighten the screws (1) with 5 Nm. again. Finally
it might be needed to re-position the saddles (2) in one
position.
5.0 Tires and Mounting
Tires and Mounting
Always make sure you that you maintain the correct
tire pressure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair
performance. If the tire pressure is too low, rolling resistance
will increase, requiring more effort to move the chair for-
ward; low tire pressure also has a negative impact on
maneuverability. If the tire pressure is too high, the tire could
burst. The correct pressure for a given tire is printed on the
surface of the tire itself. Tires can be mounted the same way
as an ordinary bicycle tire. Before in stalling a new inner tube,
you should always make sure that the base of the rim and the
interior of the tire are free of foreign ob jects. Check the pressure
after mounting or repairing a tire. It is critical to your safety and
to the wheelchair's performance that regulation air pressure be
maintained and that tires be in good condition.
