handcycling on tracks and roads. Made with a lightweight aluminium alloy, it offers a wide range of
adjustments, meaning it can be configured in line with the users’ needs and the requirements of their various
pathologies. Addionally, it means it can accompany them as they develop and progress in their sport, from

2. Warning
The user is reminded that they should carry out a self-assessment of the crical points associated with their
specific pathology, and with their parcular postural requirements, before proceeding with any adjustments or
use of the handbike. OFFCARR does not accept any responsibility for any damages caused by incorrect
seang in the handbike, or by features of sing in the wheelchair which are incompable with the user's
pathology.
The cushion provided IS NOT ANTI-SORE , it is made with expanded polyurethane with a density of 75
shore with a Nylon fabric cover.
Avoid contact of the handbike with water.Undesirable rust may occur on some metal parts and/or loss of
the safety features of the materials concerned.
The handbike must only be used for the sport it has been designed for, or for compable disciplines, and
not for transporng objects in general, and it must not be used in other contexts. This could be dangerous
insofar as some of the usual safety elements for the device in moon are absent (e.g. Parking brakes, etc.).
Allergies caused by contact with parts of the handbike should be reported.
Keep the handbike away from heat sources in order to avoid any of the components seng alight. The
coverings meet the criteria for the standard ISO 7176 16:2012.
Do not put your fingers into the spikes when the handbike is in moon.
Inflate the tyres to a pressure within the range indicated inside the tyre. If transporng by plane, it is
suggested that you deflate the tyres to avoid excess pressure.
The handbike must be regularly maintained, so that it is kept in good working condion but especially so
that the safety condions are upheld.
Inefficient maintenance and the improper use of the device may cause damages and injury to users.
Alteraons may invalidate the minimum safety condions.
The registraon of the device and the address of the manufacturer can be found on a small scker
located underneath the handbike’s lower frame. This scker must never be removed, at risk of invalidang the
product's guarantee.
The indicated life span of the wheelchair is 4 years under normal usage condions, subject to it always
being used by the same person and undergoing regular maintenance.

height:
● Loosen but do not remove screws "F4" and "F3" (see 4.2)
● Unscrew and remove the “4” screws.
● Posion the rear seat at the desired height, aligning the holes in the plate.

4.2 Front seat height adjustment
The handbike is shipped with a front height of 50 cm from the ground. Please note that this seng is the only
way to change the distance relave to the footplate.We therefore recommend verifying that this distance is
correct immediately aer selecng the desired seat inclinaon and adjusng the rear height in the same way:
To funcon properly, the carriage mount should be as parallel as possible to the ground. The distance between
the seat and ground can vary from 500 to 600 mm, and between 400 and 500 mm for the footplate. To set the
front height:
● Loosen but do not remove screws "F3" and "F4" (see 4.1)
● Unscrew and remove the “B” screw.
● Posion the front seat support at the same height as the rear (parallel to the ground), aligning the
holes in the plate
● Put the "B" screws back in place and ghten them properly.
● Tighten the F3 "F4" screws
4.3 Adjusng the seat inclinaon
The seat angle can be adjusted via two plates on either side of the seat.
● Loosen the F1 screws
● Unscrew and remove the "A" screws
● Select the new angle from the 4 possible posions
● Re-insert and ghten the A screws
● Tighten the F1 screws
These operaons must be carried out at the same me on both sides.
7

4.4 Adjusng the backrest incline
The backrest is shipped with a standard angle of 91°, which can be modified in the following manner:
● Loosen the F6 screws
● Loosen and remove screws "E" and "F"
● Select the desired angle by aligning the holes correctly.
● Insert and ghten screws "E" and "F" properly and ghten the "F6" screws.
Ensure that the screw posions on the plates are the same on both sides.
4.5 Adjusng the tautness of the backrest canvas
● Li the rear secon of the canvas.
● Loosen the straps.
● With the athlete in playing posion, pull taut the straps as much as necessary, starng with the top
strap.
● Fold the backrest canvas back again.
● Try some game movements and repeat the operaon if the posion isn't quite right.
4.6 Footplate depth adjustment
The depth of the footplate is adjustable in depth. To do this:
● Slightly loosen screw "K"
● Slide the footplate along the guide to the desired posion

4.7 Leg strap assembly
The HB500 is equipped with a leg strap to keep the knees aached to the frame. On each end of the strap
there is respecvely a male and a female velcro patch.For assembly, we recommend pressing the male velcro
end of the strap onto the legs (velcro upwards) and running the strap around the legs so that the other end
with the female velcro aaches to the first, as shown in the photo:
4.8 Assembling the pelvic strap
The HB500 is designed to accommodate a 45° pelvic strap.This can be mounted on the backrest adjustment
bar, as shown in the diagram.
5. Tips and recommendaons for use
If needed, the padding can be washed at low temperatures. Nevertheless, avoid immersing the other,
mechanical parts of the wheelchair in water. Always clean the handbike thoroughly for maximum efficiency.
