Push Handles; Lap Belt Instructions - Quickie Neon Fix Front Notice D'utilisation

Sideguard, Aluminum, Bolt-On
with Cold-Weather Protection
Clothing guards (optional) prevent
water from splashing up and soi-
ling clothing.
Their position relative to the rear
wheels can be set by adjusting the
sideguards.
To do this, remove the screws (1
and 2). The armrests (optional) can be adjusted to
the desired height after the screws (3) have been
removed. When finished, make sure that all screws
have been properly tightened (see the page on tor-
que).
CAUTION:
Neither the sideguards nor the armrests are to
be used for lifting or carrying the wheelchair.
Options – Push Handles
Height-Adjustable Push Handles
(7.90)
These handles are secured with
pins to prevent them from sliding
out unintentionally. Opening the
quick-release lever (1) makes it
possible to adjust the push hand-
les to meet your individual needs.
As you move the lever, you will
hear a locking mechanism; you
may now easily position the push
handle as desired. The nut (2) on
the tension lever determines how
tightly the push handles are clamped into place. If
the nut is loose after adjusting the tension lever, the
push handle will also be too loose. Turn the push
handle from side to side before use to make sure
that it is clamped securely enough into place. After
adjusting handle height, always clamp the tension
lever (1) securely into place. If the lever is not secu-
re, injuries could result when ascending stairs.
Fold-Down Push Handles (7.91)
If the push handles are not in use,
they can be folded down by
depressing the button (2). When
they are needed again, simply flip
them back up until they click into
place.

that the belt sits at an angle of 45
degrees across the users pelvis.
