6.0 Options
6.1 Step Tubes
Step tubes are used by attendants to push a wheelchair
over an obstacle. Simply step on the tube to push a wheel chair, for example,
over a kerb or step, (Fig. 6.1.1).
6.2 Wheel locks
CAUTION!
Braking power can be affected by incorrect fitting and adjustment of the
wheel locks, as well as tyre pressure which is too low.
Wheel locks
Your wheelchair is equipped with two wheel locks. They are applied
directly against the tyres. To engage, press both wheel-lock levers forward
against the stops. To release the wheel, pull the levers back to their original
positions.
Braking power will decrease with:
•
Worn tyre tread
•
Tyre pressure that is too low
•
Wet tyres
•
Improperly adjusted wheel locks.
The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as brakes for a moving
wheelchair. The wheel locks should therefore never be used to brake
a moving wheelchair. Always use the handrims for braking. Make sure
that the interval between the tyres and wheel locks complies with given
specifications. To readjust, loosen the screw and set the appropriate gap.
Then re-tighten the screw
(Fig. 6.2.1 and 6.2.2).
CAUTION!
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel lock gap and
re-adjust if necessary.
Wheel Lock Lever Extension
The longer lever helps to minimize the effort needed to set the wheel locks.
The wheel lock lever extension is screwed to the wheel locks. By raising this,
it can be flipped forward (Fig. 6.2.3).
WARNING!
•
Mounting the wheel lock too close toward the wheel will result in a higher
effort to operate. This might cause the wheel lock extension lever to
break!
•
Leaning onto the wheel lock extension lever while transferring will cause
the lever to break! Splashing water from tires might cause the wheel lock
to malfunction.
