This symbol appears in the manual together with text. It
highlights actions where the wheelchair’s, the user’s or
the care giver’s safety can be put at risk.
This symbol appears in the manual together with text.
Here you will find advice and tips worth considering.
Intended use:

round wheelchairs with multiple functions and they are intended
for use both outdoors and indoors. Their seats are adjustable in

- Pull out the cover plug (A) and unscrew the retain-
ing nut (B). Pull out the front fork and put the be-
velled washer (C) and the bearing on the new fork.
- Mount the washers and bearings in the front fork
attachment as illustrated. Washer (C) is mounted
with the bevelled side towards the front fork. Was-
her (D) on top under the retaining nut.
- Tighten the retaining nut until it cannot be turned
any more. Loosen it 1/2-1 turn. The spring washer
then has the correct tension. It reduces the risk of
the castor starting to “wobble”.
