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

FORK ANGLE 1

SERVICE MANUAL
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.

The adjustment is the same for both Exelle and Exelle Vario. The pictures show the assembly on the Exelle Vario. Note that, differently from
the models Exelle/Exelle Vario, the support is assembled facing backward; however, in some cases in alcuni casi, it is possible to assemble
it facing frontward.
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.

FORK ANGLE 2

SERVICE MANUAL
WORK ON A FLAT 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.
The fork adjustment system is based on the combination of two rings (A1, A2) with inclined plane.
The upper ring A1 works on the fork support while the ring A2 works on the ring A1.
A1
A2
1 2 3 4 5 6
A2 A1
Bearing unit detached from the fork support.
Pictures 1, 2 and 3 show that the upper axle of the bearing unit, rotating on
the lower axle (that allows the fork to turn), changes inclination thanks to the
inclined plane of the ring A2. Pictures 4, 5 and 6 show three different inclina-
tions of the ring A1 keeping A2 still. Each combination of the position of
these two rings gives a different angle to the fork axis.
To carry out the adjustment, start with loosening the nut B.
To do so, you have to align external hole Cand the internal hole C1 of the adjustment axle and insert a steel (or an Allen key) through them
(in the picture, the two parts are separate to make see the internal hole C1). With the pin inserted, you can turn the ring A2.
The nut Bhas to be loosened just enough to let the ring A1 move.
Do not loosen the Btoo much, otherwise the system will be instable and it will be very difficult to
adjust.
The play should be null or the minimum possible.
To turn the ring’A1, insert a pin (or an Allen key) through the hole D.
Now, while keeping both pin inserted, turn ring A2 (consequently the fork) without moving the ring
A1.
While performing this operation check how the bubble of the spirit level Lmoves.
If, for the whole rotation of the ring A2. the bubble never passes through or close to the circle, it
means you need to change the position of ring A1.

SERVICE MANUAL
Follows next page
Turn the ring A1 a little in either direction and repeat the same operation above explained.
You have to repeat this procedure until the position of the ring A1 allows the bubble to be very
close to the circle of the spirit level.
At this stage, it is possible to turn both the ring A1 and the fork together with very small move-
ments until the bubble gets within the circle.
Check the nut Bis not too loose (to prevent instability of the system) and not too tighten (in this
case the ring A1 will not move).
To tighten or loosen the nut Bduring adjustment, you can usually use your finger (if it is too hard,
you can use the spanner).
As mentioned at the beginning, the adjustment is necessary whenever modifying the seat inclina-
tion (front and/or rear height).
In such cases, the entity of the adjustment is not much, in other words, the point you start from is
very near the goal. Therefore, the rotations of rings A1 and A2 will be by just a few degrees (clock
or anticlockwise).
When you reach the correct angle, fix the system. Both pins should be inserted.
With one hand, hold the fork and the pin on the hole of the ring A1 to control its position.
With the other bare hand, screw up the nut Bas much as possible while checking the spirit level.
Now gradually tighten the nut Bwith the spanner.
If, while tightening, the bubble moves away from the circle, it means that the fork has moved.
To compensate such unwanted movement, turn the fork in the nut loosening direction and check
the bubble.
It may seldom happen, though, that even the ring A1 moves while tightening. In that case, adjust it
back.
Make sure the bubble is within the circle and then fully tighten the nut B.
To reduce the risk of scratching the paint of the support around the nut, it is advisable to stick a
shaped piece of female Velcro on the spanner.
This adjustment system often allows two different combinations A1/A2 with the same correct result
(axis perpendicular to the ground).
The two positions, even though they both give the 90° to the ground, are not exactly the same, in
fact the distance between the rotation axle of the fork and the frame is different.
This means that you have to adjust the two forks symmetrically and this surely helps to adjust the
“second” fork. Just have a look where the hole of the ring A1 is with respect to the frame and sym-
metrically start form that point on the other fork to adjust.
Furthermore, the two combinations (when possible) allow solving the problem of interference be-
tween front wheel and footplate or tube. If the first found position results with such interference,
just try the second position that may be better.
Differently, it will be necessary to change the size of front wheels or footplate position or the seat
inclination (front or rear height).

SERVICE MANUAL
When adjusting the fork angle avoid:
Working on ring A1 and A2 (fork) together form the beginning –this does not give any precise point of reference (as ring A1 does in one
any position that you can change if not correct).
Thinking that the front wheel must be orientated as when driving the wheelchair (the fork is part of the adjustment).
Keeping the nut Btoo loose while finding the correct angle.
Directionality check.
After adjustment, the wheelchair has to be tested to verify if it goes straight.
See also sheet DIRECTIONALITY.
Check both casters are touching the ground, if not, adjust their height.
If the wheelchair turns right or left, it means that you need to correct the adjustment.
If it turns right: the right fork is tilted inward (internal) or the left fork is titled outward (external).
If it turns left: the left fork is tilted inward or the right fork is titled outward.
Check which of the two to adjust.
The adjustment will be really of minimum entity.
The necessary rotation of either A1 or A2 (fork) is tiny.
Loosen the nut Bas little as necessary.
Proceed with the adjustment making the bubble slightly move: - inwardly with respect to the wheelchair if the fork is external;
- outwardly with respect of the wheelchair if the fork is internal
The bubble does not necessarily be perfectly concentric with the circle of the spirt level.
It is enough that it is within the circle or even adjacent.
The spirit level is, at origin, glued to the axle, therefore, there is a minimum tolerance while centring it.
After adjustment, the wheelchair has to go straight.

WORK ON A FLAT EVEN SURFACE.
Whenever the seat height is changed or as periodic mainte-
nance, check the fork angle and, if necessary, adjust it in
order to have the fork axis perpendicular to the ground.
To loosen the system:
loosen the two bolts A, the two headless bolts B1 B2 and
the nut C.
To adjust the fork:
Turn the fork axle, clock or anticlockwise, until the perpen-
dicularity, 90° to the ground.
To make this operation easy, it is advisable to slightly tight-
en one of the two bolts Aso that to allow for the fork axle
rotation and keeping it in position after moving it.
You can measure the perpendicularity with the help of a
square (or similar) vertically aligned to the caster; the caster
has to be turn 90° with respect to the driving direction.
Alternatively, turn the fork by 360°: during the full turn, the
wheel has to touch the surface in all positions.
To fix the system proceed with the following sequence:
• Tighten the two bolts Aalternating them each quarter of
a turn in order to allow for an even clamp torque.
• Tight and hold bolt Dand tighten the nut C
• Finally, tighten the two headless bolts B1 B2

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

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 instruc-
tions 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.
System with hexagon
This adjustment systems does not allow for latitudinal (camber) adjust-
ment, the only way to correct the angle is to put a sort of spacer be-
tween 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.
Other systems
Make sure the two bolts Aare well tightened.
In fact, if they are not fully tightened, the clamp will not take a proper
hold on the frame and the support position may not be precise.
Then, continue according to the type of system.

If you decrease the rear height, remove the side guard first. In
fact, the rear wheel will touch the side guard.
After adjustment, adjust the side guard and the brake, too.
Remember that the adjustment of the rear height affect the seat

The spacer Dis present to allow the nut Bto be more accessible when
holding grip on it with the spanner.
Advice: sometimes, when tightening the receiver very hard, you may
deform the receiver and thus impede the quick release axle to pass
through it. Therefore, before tightening the receiver hard, insert the rear
wheel (or just the quick release axle) into the receiver but leaving
enough room to get hold of it with the spanner.
With 2° or 4° receivers, you have to adjust the camber and the conver-
gence, too.
If you move the setting forward, it is necessary to remove the mud-
guard (not necessary if straight guard) before putting the wheel on. In
fact, the wheel will touch the mudguard.
After adjustment, adjust the side guard and the brake, too.
Remember that the adjustment of the setting can affect the seat incli-
nation; therefore, it is necessary to check/adjust the fork angle, too.
