ADJUSTING THE CHAIR
Exigo 30 has measuring scales that help you to adjust the chair accurately
The following adjustments can be carried out quicker and more accurately using the different
measuring scales:
• Seat height – back Page 13 and 15
The scale shows the seat height in relation to the driving wheels.
• Centre of gravity Page 16
The measuring scale is numbered from 1 to 5, with 1 as the best anti-tipping position.
• Seat height – front Page 13, 14 and 17
Stepless scale from 1 to 9 to ensure equal adjustment on both castor wheels.
• Angle of castor wheels Page 17
Stepless scale to ensure equal adjustment on both castor wheels.
• Back height Page 18
The scale shows the back height from 35 cm to 45 cm.
• Back angle Page 18
The scale shows the back angle from –5° to 16°.
• Anti-tip stabiliser Page 22
The measuring scale is numbered from 1 to 5, in order to adjust the anti-tip stabiliser in relation to
the driving wheel position.
• Leg support length Page 20
Stepless scale from 1 to 9 to ensure equal adjustment on both leg supports.
• Armrest height Page 22
The scale shows the distance from the seat to the top of the armrest. From 18 cm to 24 cm for
standard armrests and 22 cm to 29 cm for high armrests.

Adjusting the seat height
The seat height can easily be adjusted. You can
also change the angle of the seat by having
different heights at the front and back. By
changing the angle of the seat, you can achieve
better stability and seating comfort. The different
seat height adjustments also effect the ability to
negotiate obstacles and rolling properties of the
wheelchair.
Adjusting the seat height – back
Figures 21 and 22
The seat height at the back can be adjusted using
the methods below.
Moving the wheel block up or down
Moving the wheel block up, lowers the seat.
Moving the wheel block down, raises the seat. See
page 15.
Changing to bigger or smaller driving wheels
A bigger driving wheel increases the seat height,
whilst a smaller wheel decreases the height. The
table on page 31 shows which seat heights can be
achieved by changing to different sizes of driving
wheel.
ADJUSTING THE WHEELCHAIR

MB3197-EN
Figure 24
Adjusting the seat height – front
Figures 24
The seat height at the front can be adjusted using
the methods below.
Moving the bearing housing of the castor
wheel up or down (see page 17).
By moving the bearing housing up, the seat
is lowered, and by moving it down, the seat is
raised.
Moving the castor wheel to a higher or lower
position in the castor wheel fork.
By moving the castor wheel to a higher position
in the castor wheel fork (24A), the seat is lowered,
and by moving the castor wheel to a lower
position, the seat is raised.
Changing to bigger or smaller castor wheels
A smaller castor wheel lowers the seat height,
whilst a bigger castor wheel raises the seat
height. By changing the castor wheel, a smaller
castor wheel will give a smaller turning radius, and
thereby increase the ability to negotiate obstacles
in narrow spaces, and will also give more room
for the legs. A larger castor wheel will increase the
turning radius but will also improve the ability to
negotiate obstacles on uneven surfaces.
Changing to a longer or shorter castor wheel
fork
A shorter castor wheel fork lowers the seat
height, gives a smaller turning radius, and thereby
increases the ability to negotiate obstacles in
narrow spaces, and will also give more room for
the legs. A longer castor wheel fork increases the
seat height, and allows several alternative castor
wheels to be used.
The table on page 31 shows which seat heights
can be achieved by using the methods above.
Note! Remember to adjust the angle of the castor
wheel when changing the seat height, and to
adjust the brakes when changing the seat height
at the back.

Adjusting the seat height - front
Figures 29, 30 and 31
When adjusting the height of the wheelchair, the
height of the driving wheels should be regulated
before the angle. There is a scale for adjusting
both the height and angle of the castor wheels,
which helps to achieve equal measurements on
both castor wheels.
Adjusting the castor wheel height
Figure 30
The driving wheel has a scale from 1–9 to help
achieve the same height on both castor wheels.
• Loosen screw (30A)
• Adjust to the desired height, see scale (30B)
• Re-tighten the screw
Adjusting the angle of the castor
wheel Figure 31
• Loosen screw (31A) slightly
• Loosen screw (31B)
• Place the Allen key into the rotating disk (31C)
and rotate to the desired angle. See the scale
• Tighten screw (31B). A screw locking device
such as Blue Locktite, no. 243, can be used.
• Tighten screw (31A)
When the front castor wheel is at the correct
angle, the bearing housing will be in a vertical
position (90°) to the base. This is achieved by
using a right angle to the bearing house/floor.
