(standard fork and axle)
SERVICE MANUAL
Only for forks with Ø 12 axle hole, it is possible to change the axle Pwith a longer one (usually 25mm longer).
To replace the fork axle, first you need to remove the fork from its support.
Remove the cap and, with a 19 mm tubular box spanner while holding the fork with one hand, screw off the locknut B.
Now, hold the axle in its point A (16 mm spanner), screw off the locknut Dand remove the axle.
Insert the new axle and firmly tighten it on the fork.
Similarly, you can change the fork with another of different size.
.
To get access to the nut D, it may be necessary to remove the wheel.
If the locknut Dis too hard to unscrew, warm it with a hot air blower.
When assembling the fork on the support, put the washer Cand then the locknut B. screw the locknut Bholding the fork. The correct
torque has to zero the vertical play while letting the fork smoothly swivel.
Remember that the front height adjustment can affect the seat inclination, so it is necessary to check and adjust the fork angle

In particular cases, it is possible to move the fork support.
Such operation becomes necessary if the front wheel touches the footplate.
EXELLE: the frame has 5 holes for support positioning, therefore, 3 possible positions.
To remove the support, screw off the two bolts A.
Remove the spacer Bbetween support and frame, and the two cylindrical spacers C.
Insert the two cylindrical spacers Cin two other positioning holes.
The two cylindrical spacers Cmust always be present in the support fixing holes.

Warning: if you fix the support in the rearward
position, it is vital to use another bolt and nut to
fix the frame junction. That bolt has to be of the
type “countersink” and, consequently, you will
have to make a proper housing on the corre-
sponding hole.

WORK ON A FLAT AND EVEN SURFACE.
The adjustment is the same for both Exelle and Exelle Vario. The pictures show the assembly on the Exelle Vario.
Unscrew the bolt V that fixes the nut D.
Remove the nut Dbut leave the bolt on completely. You should not loosen the other bolt, in fact it will hold the fork while performing the
adjustment.
You can now turn the fork support (and the fork itself) clock or anti clock wise within the
limits given by the support’s slot Aagainst the bolt V. within such limits you will have to
find the correct angle: the fork has to be perpendicular to the ground.
You can reveal the perpendicularity using a spirit level leant against the cylinder of the
fork support as shown in the picture, or you can turn the fork. In this last way, the caster
should evenly touch the ground all around the clock.
When you find the correct angle, you have to insert the nut Dwith two of its two sides
perfectly aligned with those of the slot A, but without moving the fork support.
The adjustment nut Dhas two holes. Each hole gives 6 different positions, so, in total
there are 12 positions.
Insert the nut on the bolt using one hole and turn it to try the 6 positions. You cannot
position the nut if the bolt is touching either side of the slot.
When you find the coinciding position, push the nut into the housing and tighten the
bolt. Should no position allow for the perfect alignment, try the other hole of the nut and
repeat the same operations.
DO NOT adapt the position of the fork support to the nut, this way you actually change
the fork angle.
If you cannot reach the perpendicularity within the range given by the slot A, remove
the bolt V1 and remove the fork paying attention to which of the two holes Aor Bit was
fixed to.
Assemble the fork using the other hole and tighten the corresponding bolt.
Repeating the same operations above mentioned, adjust the fork angle and position
the nut.
Finally, tighten the bolts Aand Bhard.
If, in the coinciding position, the nut is leaning out of the support, it is advisable, in or-
der to have a better hold, to reverse its position (of course, using the same hole); this
way, the nut will fully be located within the support housing.
It is advisable to spread a
drop of mild lock thread
glue on the bolts V and V1.

WORK ON A FLAT AND EVEN SURFACE
Whenever the seat height is changed or as periodic maintenance, check the fork angle and, if necessary, adjust it in order to have the fork
axis perpendicular to the ground. Exelle and Exelle Vario uses the same system (the pictures show the model Exelle).
The adjustment is possible by means of the four grab screws G1, G2 and G3 that make the axle Pturn on the fulcrum F.

To adjust the fork, once you know the direction (frontward or backward) towards which it is necessary to move the fork’s axle, proceed as
above-mentioned until reaching the correct angle.
You can also measure the perpendicularity by turning the fork by 360°: during the full turn, the wheel has to touch the surface in all posi-
tions.
If a headless bolt results hard to unscrew, DO NOT FORCE IT, but try to loosen the other two first.
If the fork’s axle (the axle P) results hard to move, slightly loosen the bolt of the fulcrum F(remember to screw it after adjust-
ment).
Once you reach the correct angle, screw all three headless bolts all the way down to the axle P, but without tightening.
In order to fix the system, tighten first one and then the other less than a quarter of a turn at once, the grab screws G2 and G4 (the front
ones) checking the perpendicularity; in fact, it may slightly change during this phase.
Should that happen, correct the angle proceeding in the same manner.
When you have tightened both headless bolts G2 and G4, you can tighten the headless bolt G1 and G3.
Check the perpendicularity again and, if necessary, correct it.

DIRECTIONALITY
A very important aspect of any wheelchair is its directionality.
To check if the wheelchair goes straight, sit on it, push it and let it go until it stops.
If something is wrong, the slower the wheelchairs moves forward (momentum close to nothing), the more likely it turns right or left. There-
fore, if no or irrelevant turn occurs, the wheelchair is properly adjusted.
Cause Reason Solution
SURFACE The surface where the test is being performed is not even
and flat
Test the chair on even and flat surface
REAR WHEELS The rear wheel are not equally inflated Inflate both tyres at the same pressure
The tyres of the two rear wheel are different or differently Change the tyres
The rear wheels are not adjusted at the same height Adjust the rear wheel height
The camber of right and left wheels are different or differ-
ently adjusted
Adjust the camber.
The wheel, when turning, touches the side guard or the
brakes
Fix or replace the side guard. Add spacer on the
receiver. Adjust the brake.
The wheels doe not turn smoothly Clean or change the bearings
FRONT WHEELS The casters are not adjusted at the same height Adjust the front wheels at the same height
The tyres of the two front wheels are different or differently Change the wheels
The fixing bolts of the fork/fork support/clamp are loosened Check and tighten all fixing bolts
The caster does not turn smoothly Clean the bearings.
Either or both forks are not adjusted so as their axis is per-
pendicular to the ground.
Adjust the fork axis inclination.
FOOTPLATE The footplate tubes are adjusted at different height. Adjust the tubes at the same height
If the wheelchairs does not go straight, in most cases the reason
is the fork angle adjustment.
However, before working on the fork angle adjustment, check all
the points above mentioned.
First, make the test along a flat even surface to check the direc-
tionality.
1 The correct adjustment has both forks perpendicular to the
ground, that is, their axis at 90°.
2 If the wheelchair TURN RIGHT, the cause is one or more of
the following:
The RIGHT fork is tilted inwardly and/or backward
The LEFT fork is tilted outwardly and/or frontward
3If the wheelchair TURN LEFTT, the cause is one or more of
the following:
The LEFT fork is tilted inwardly and/or backward

DIRECTIONALITY
Adjusting the directionality
Check that the two forks are perpendicular to the ground. If they are not, proceed with the adjustment of the fork angle following the in-
structions on the sheet FORK ANGLE ADJUSTMENT.
If both forks axis are correct but the wheelchair still turns right or left, it means that the latitudinal angle is not perfect.
This may be due to hit, to improper pressure exercised on the fork or its support, or to a tiny imperfection among all parts fixed together
due to their manufacturing tolerances.
Since both angle adjustment systems do not allow for latitudinal (camber) adjustment, the only way to correct the angle is to put a sort of
spacer between the upper or lower side of the fork support and the plate where it is fixed. The spacer can simply be a piece of plastic
strapping (0.5 mm –1 mm thick).
To incline the fork internally 1, position the strapping on the upper side of the fork support.
To incline the fork externally 2, position the strapping on the lower side of the fork support.

REAR HEIGHT
Standard rear frame
Adjustment every 1.5 cm
You can adjust the rear height by moving the rear wheel plate Awith respect
to the frame B.
Remove the 4 bolts Cand nuts Dand remove the plate A.
Position the plate Aat a different height and fix it using the pre-drilled holes
on the frame.
If case of titanium frame, the assembly has an extra counter plate E on each
side of the plate.
That is necessary to avoid squeezing the tubes (titanium tubes that are thin-
ner then aluminium’s).
1 If the wheelchair is equipped with supports for accessories, the adjust-
ment is the same.
If, when possible and wished, you move the support along with the rear
wheel plate, you can use the same bolts.
On the other hand, you may need different, in length and type, bolts.
It the picture, for instance, the bolt 1 fixes only the plate to the frame, the bolt
2 fixes the plate and the support, whereas the bolt 3 fixes only the support.
If you need to lower the rear height, it is necessary to remove the mudguard
(if present) before putting the rear wheel on. In fact, the tyre will touch the
mudguard.
After adjustment, adjust the mudguard and the brake, too.
2 In some cases, when the requested rear height is particularly high, the
wheelchair is provided with a shaped rear wheel plate (right and left only
black colour) that allows for higher heights than the regular plate.
The adjustment is the same.
3 Also with the extended rear wheel plate, the adjustment is the same.
Remember that the rear height affects the seat inclination, thus, it is neces-
sary to check and adjust the front fork angle.

REAR HEIGHT AND SETTING
Dynamic rear frame (until september 2019)
The rear wheel plate Kis made of two arms Afixed, with a joint system, to
each other and to the supports S1 and S2 that, on their turn, are fixed to the
frame.
Before starting the adjustment, it is very useful to consult the chart at the
bottom of this instruction. In fact, that chart indicates where and how the
parts according to the rear height, setting and rear wheels size.
Before proceeding, we suggest your removing the mudguard (if present).
To remove the mudguard, loosen the two headless bolts and screw off the
two bolts. The two parts of the support are now detached and you can re-
move the mudguard with its support. (In the picture aside, with the only
purpose to better show the parts, the mudguard is not present).
Adjustment by moving the receiver.
You can fix the receiver Bboth in one of the two “free hole”, F1 and F2, of
the arms A and in one of the three joints, J1, J2 and J3 (“joint hole”).
Through the “free holes”, F1 and F2, insert the receiver Band fix it with the
nut D1 and washer R1.
Through the “joint holes” J1, J2 and J3, the assembly has the adaptation
washer R2 and the M20 threaded made-to-measure counter buckle D2.
Then you can insert the receiver B, screw it on D2, and fix it.
In case of cambered wheels, you have to adjust the convergence through
the independent receivers.
You can use the spacers Xif you need to have the rear wheel more exter-
nal.
The assembly of the joints Jhas the bolt VJ, the made to measure washer
RJ, the M8 threaded made-to-measure counter buckle CJand the nut DJ.
1If you move the receiver Bfrom one “free hole” to the other “free hole”,
you can use the same parts and the joints Jare not involved.
2 If you move the receiver Bfrom one of the “free holes” to one “joint
hole”, you first need to remove the nut DJ, then the bolt VJand finally RJ, CJ
off the joint J.
Now insert R2 and D2 into the joint, then insert the receiver and fix it.
In case the counter buckle CJ is hard to remove, slightly screw the bolt VJ
and gently hit it with a hammer.
Should the washer RJbe hard to remove, separate the two arms A, insert
CJand hit it with a hammer a few times. When CJreach the full stroke but
RJdoes not come out yet, lean the head of VJon it and hit it with hammer.

3 If you move the receiver Bfrom one of the three “joint holes” to a “free
hole”, remove the receiver and fix the joint Jpositioning RJ and CJfirst,
then screw the bolt VJ and finally screw the nut DJ while holding the bolt.
To fix the receiver, insert it through the “free hole” and fix it with D1 and
R1.
4 If you move the receiver Bfrom a “joint hole” to another “joint hole”,
remove the receiver and all its parts. Then remove all parts that fix the
joint J(see instructions of point 2) where you decide to assemble the re-
ceiver.
Use the same parts to fix the joint and the receiver to the new points (see
instructions of points 2 and 3).
Adjustment by moving the plate
You can adjust the rear wheel position by moving the plate Kby means of
the joints Jand the supports S1 and S2.
First, loosen the nut DJand then the bolt VJof each joint. If the receiver B
is fixed to a joint, loosen the receiver.
Loosen the two headless bolts GS1, the two bolts VS1 and nuts DS1 of the
support S1.
It now already possible to slide the support S1 along the frame. This way
the arms Awill turn and determine new positions for the rear wheel.
After removing the three bolts VS2, you can move the support S2 and fix it
in any of the predetermined positions given by the 5 mm pre-drilled holes
Hon the curved part of the frame.
Now, all the system is free to move and you can adjust it, by moving both
supports and both arms.
Once you reach the desired position, fix first the support S2 and then S1.
Finally the joints J.
To adjust the other side in the same position, fix S2 using the same holes
and S1 at the same distance DST from the rear side of the frame.
The last three pictures show three examples. Note that the supports S1
and S2 of the picture in the middle and at right are in the same positions,
but the arms are differently orientated.

Notes: all combinations are worked out considering a seat inclination equal to 4 cm on a seat depth 40 cm (which is like 3 on 30 and 3.5 on 35) and with standard high pres-
sure tyres. The rear height may result quite different if the inclination of the seat is very different from that used as reference (especially with active setting). In fact, the
rear height reported in the chart is proportionally affected by the seat inclination difference, more inclination = lower rear height
For 1 cm of inclination, such change is approximately: 1 mm with PRUDENTIAL setting; 2 mm with STANDARD setting; 2,5 mm with ACTIVE setting.
Example: rear height 43 cm with active setting and seat inclination 8 cm on seat depth 40cm (4 cm more than reference), result 43 - (4 x 0,25) = 42 cm;
but with flat seat (4cm less than reference), result 43 + (4 x 0,25) = 44cm.
The configuration of the rear wheel plate to follow will therefore be that on the row with height 44 (44 -1=43) in the first case, while, in the second case it will be that with
height 42 (42 + 1 = 43).
You can obtain quite a few combinations height / setting / rear wheel with different rear wheel plate positioning; this chart, for simplicity, reports only one.
On the other hand, many more configurations with other settings are possible; this chart reports the three most common settings.

For the adjustment of the fork angle and the removal of the fork support,
see chapters “fork angle” and “fork support position”
Adjustment every 1,5 cm
You can adjust the rear height by changing the position of the receiver Aon the
plate B.
Screw off the nut C,remove the receiver and insert it in another hole.
Pay attention to the position of the toothed washer Dand to the spacers E(if any).
Securely fix the receiver.
If you lower the rear height, then you have to remove the mudguard (if present)
before inserting the rear wheel; in fact, the wheel will touch the mudguard.
After adjustment, adjust the mudguard and the brake, too.
Remember that the rear height affects the seat inclination, thus, it is necessary to
check and adjust the front fork angle.
Should the receiver be with camber, make sue to adjust the convergency —see
chapter “camber”.

SETTING ADJUSTMENT (point of balance)
Standard rear frame
You can adjust the setting by changing the position of the receiver Bwith re-
spect to the plate A, but also by turning the plate.
To carry out the adjustment, simply remove the receiver Band its parts (nut D,
washer Cand, if present, spacers E) and fix it to the new position.
You can use the spacers Ein case you need to have the rear wheel more ex-
ternal.
In the picture 1, the settings are:
F1 = Prudential (35 mm) ; F2 = Standard (60 mm) ; F3 = Active (85 mm) .
Even if the holes Fof the plate are 3, the possible settings are 6. In fact, the 3
holes are not centred with respect to the plate, thus, if you turn the plate by
180°, the position of the holes with respect to the frame, change.
To turn the plate, remove the 4 bolts Gand nuts and washers H and fix it to the
reverse position.
In the picture showing and comparing the two plates, you can see the black one
“180° turned”. Consequently, the 3 holes are now approximately 1 cm ahead.
Therefore, the settings change and, in fact, F1 = Extreme (100 mm) (in picture
1, F1 was Prudential).
In both small pictures, the receiver is fixed through F1 of the black plate, but the
plate is differently fixed to the frame. At left, the setting is Prudential, at right it is
Extreme.
In case of cambered wheels, you will see washers between the plate and the
frame, such washers are necessary to tilt the plate and, thus, to give the cam-
ber. In that case, to keep the camber, you have to assemble the washers in the
same way.
If case of titanium frame, the assembly has an extra counter plate
on each side of the plate. That is necessary to avoid squeezing
the tubes (titanium tubes that are thinner than aluminium’s).
After changing the setting, adjust the mudguard and brake. Also, check and
adjust the front fork angle.
In some cases, when the requested rear height is particularly high, the wheel-
chair is provided with a shaped rear wheel plate (right and left only black colour)
that allows for higher heights than the regular plate. The adjustment is the
same.
The extended rear wheel plate (only black
colour), allows for 4 settings between
prudential and Extreme and 2 Extremely
Prudential (behind the backrest axis).

SIDE GUARD
Standard rear frame
After any adjustment of the rear wheel, you will have to adjust the position of the
side guard accordingly.
You should adjust the side guard at approximately 5 mm from the tyre. It is fixed to
the frame in two points: to the backrest tube with a ring Athat can slide along the
same tube; to the plate of support B.
If the side guard is straight, you can decide to modify it or not.
A
When you decrease the rear height, you have to move the side guard up.
1. After the rear height adjustment, remove the bolt and nut C1 C2.
2. Loosen the bolt D, slide the side guard upward even beyond the necessary and
temporarily fix it just enough to let it stay where you position it.
3. Put the rear wheel on and position the side guard at approximately 5 mm from
the tyre and parallel to it. Remove the rear wheel, fix the bolt Dand put the rear
wheel back on.
4. While keeping the side guard at 5 mm from the tyre, from the outside of the plate
of support B, mark the point where you will have to drill a new hole (however,
check whether you can use the same hole).
5. To do so, use a pointed tool and let it through the slot of the plate. It is advisable
to mark it in the middle of the slot. If the rear height adjustment is remarkable,
you may need a new side guard.
6. Drill a 5 mm hole on the mud guard where just marked.
7. Countersink the hole.
8. Insert the bolt, washer and nut C1 C2 and fix the side guard.
9. Adjust the brake.
B
When you increase the rear height, you have to move the side guard down.
1. After the rear height adjustment, remove the bolt and nut C1 C2.
2. Lean the side guard on the outside of the plate of support.
3. Loosen the bolt D just enough to move the side guard, put the rear wheel on and
position the side guard at approximately 5 mm from the tyre. Remove the rear
wheel and fix the bolt D.
4. Draw a line on the lower side of the side guard considering that, when finally
assembled, it will lean on the spacer of the plate of support. The side guard can-
not go down beyond that spacer.
5. Remove the bolt Dand remove the side guard.
6. Saw the side guard along the line you have just drawn and round off the edge
with a blade of a scissor or with fine sand paper.
7. Assemble the side guard and slightly fix it with the bolt D.
8. Continue following the points 3 to 9 of the adjustment A.
