2.3 ASSEMBLY GROUP WHEELS
2.3.1 Centre of gravity(wheel base, perforated
plate)
From the conguration of the rear wheels and casters, the
focal point, the wobbliness of the wheelchair, the seat height
in front and back and the seat angle can be set.
(1) To set the centre of gravity
• remove both rear wheels,
• remove all screws (A)
• displace the perforated plate in the alternative
holes (B).
• Displacement must occur parallel on both sides.
• Replace screws and tighten them.
ATTENTION
After every change made on the rear wheels, the wheel
lock must be newly adjusted.
ATTENTION
Slowly go to the maximum and from the user (!) wanted
point of wobbliness.
ATTENTION
The more you move the casters back, the higher the risk
that the wheelchair will tip forward when getting in or out.
The more you move the rear wheels with the perforated
plate forward, the higher the risk that the wheelchair
could tip backward.
�INDICATION
Please make sure, that with the seat slant the grip point
and grip direction are not affected by a too high place-
ment of the rear wheels.
2.3.2 Seat height in front
�INDICATION
Make sure that with the setting of the seat height in the
front that pushing under a table is not a problem and that
the knees do not hit the table edge.
(2) The seat height is set by the position of the casters in
the caster fork.
• remove the connection caster/caster fork (A) com-
pletely,
• mount the casters on both sides in the wanted
holes (B),
• retighten all screws.
INFORMATION
After every change you must check the vertical steering
head slant and, if necessary correct it (see chapter steer-
ing head slant).
ATTENTION
In the mounting parts of the casters, hair, lint, dirt, etc.
can collect, whereby the casters become hard to use. Re-
move the casters in short intervals and clean the forks,
axles and the husks thoroughly.
INFORMATION
Precede the same with synthetic forks.

2.3.3 Seat height in back, seat slant
ATTENTION
After each change made on the rear wheels the function-
ality of the wheel lock must be checked and the casters
must be newly adjusted.
Generally, the seat height in back is about 2-3 cm lower as
in front, for a safe and comfortable seat position with a good
distribution of the seat pressure and to avoid a “sliding out”.
However, other settings in individual cases can also be use-
ful.
• (1) Remove the rear wheels,
• remove the side guards/skirt guards with the
screws (A) (easily remove the desk side guard)
• (2) remove the quick-release axle tting including
all washers in the alternative holes (C)
• and retighten all screws. (tightening torque nuts
M18 tting 35Nm).
• Mount the side guards and place the rear wheels
back in the quick-release axle.
�INDICATION
The ttings must stick out of the perforated plate at the
same length on both sides. The ttings can only stick out
so that the side distance of the tires to the side guard is
as low as possible, however a min. of 10mm.
2.3.4 Steering head slant
ATTENTION
After every change on the rear wheel, the steering head
slant must be newly adjusted.
To adjust the caster adapter:
• (3) remove all screws (A) on both (!) sides,
• remove both screws (B).
• By tuning the adjust washer (C) (with a at head
screw driver) place the adapter in a vertical posi-
tion (using an angle).
• Retighten all screws; screws (A) with 9 Nm, screw
(B) with 7 Nm.
�INDICATION
A falsely set steering head slant can lead to the casters
shaking back and forth and can lead to hindering curve
rides (from casters).
2.3.5 Replacing/displacing the caster adap-
ters and casters
• (4) Remove the caps (A) on both sides,
• remove all screws (B) on both sides
• and remove also the distance pieces, if necessary.
• Replace the caster adapters with new ones and/or
displace them in the alternative holes (C).

2.3.6 Camber
Through the camber you inuence:
• the side tilt stability,
• the shoulder rear wheel position and
• the track width of the wheelchair.
INFORMATION
(1) To avoid the so called “eraser effect” we general-
ly mount the tting track balance ex-works (A). With a
change of the camber afterwards, the track balance
adapter (A) must be replaced by one that ts (spare part).
INFORMATION
With a camber of 8° a distance block to the wheelbase
extension is necessary (spare part).
Adjusting the camber
• (2) Remove the rear wheels,
• remove screws (A) and move them in the alterna-
tive holes (B),
• retighten the screws.

tance of at least 10 mm as long as it is parallel to the outline
of the rear wheel.
� INDICATION
High settings can become hazardous for active drivers.
(3) To set the height, remove the rear wheels. Remove the
screw connections (B) in the front and back. Change the
position of the side guard, replace the screws and retighten
them.
2.6.2 Skirt guard on the side guard
(4) The skirt guard is placed on the side guard and should
cover the rear wheel to the outer side of the wheel.
When repositioning the rear wheels in the front perforated
plate, the skirt guards must be placed in the alternative
holes (A). Remove the screws (B), move the skirt guard, re-
place all of the screws and retighten them.
The distance between the upper part of the wheel and skirt
guard should be at least 10 mm so that the skirt guard does
not push the strain on to the wheel (also see picture 2).
2.6.3 Armrest on the side guard
(4) To set the arm rests remove the screws (A) on both
sides, place the cushion in the holes to the wanted position,
replace the screws and retighten them.

2.7 ASSEMBLY GROUP BRAKES
wheel lock/service brake
(1+2) Every wheelchair is equipped with two wheel locks.
They consist of brake pressing bolt (A), brake lever (B) (if
necessary, also with an extension) and adjustment screws
(C).
ATTENTION
WHEEL LOCKS ONLY SERVE THE PURPOSE OF PUTTING
THE WHEELS IN A RESTING POSITION.
THEY ARE NOT MADE TO BRAKE THE WHEELCHAIR WHILE
DRIVING.
ATTENTION
The correct function of the brake can be impaired by :
• too low air pressure,
• wetness, dirt, snow, ice, etc.
• worn tires and
• too big of a distance between brake pressing bolt
and tire.
INFORMATION
Check the xture of the brake pressing bolt on the inner
side of the wheelchair regularly (D).
ATTENTION
After every change made on the rear wheels, reset the
brakes. The wheelchair with passenger must stand se-
curely, with drawn brake, on a ramp with a 12% descent.
INFORMATION
When the brake is open, the maximum distance between
brake pressing bolt and tire is:
standard knee lever brake 21 mm,
pull-to-lock brake 11 mm,
knee lever brake with rollback blocking 10mm,
cable brake 6 mm
(technical changes reserved).

2.7.1 Standard wheel lock
(1) Check the air pressure in the driving wheels rst (re-
quired details on the tire cover). To adjust the brake loosen
both screws (A) on both sides, place brake in the appropri-
ate position and retighten the screws (A)
2.7.2 Lockable wheel lock
(2) The setting of the lockable brake is as described above.
To unlock pull the locking bolt out, turn it 90°, loosen or
tighten brakes, turn bolt again 90° until it snaps into place.
2.7.3 Cable brake
The cable brake is in the side guard and is operable with a
cable. This must be checked regularly to ensure its function-
ality and if necessary, it must be readjusted. The settings of
the cable brake are done as with the drum brake.
(3) To set the length of the brake lever loosen the screws (A),
adjust it to the wanted position and retighten both screws.
INFORMATION
(4) The distance between brake pressing bolt and tire cov-
er must be max. 6 mm.

2.7.4 Drum brake
The drum brake, unlike the wheel lock, is also suitable as
a driving brake.
(1) The adjustment of the drum brake occurs through a
screw on the bottom end of the brake cable (A). By turning
the screw counter clockwise the brake cable can be tight-
ened.
ATTENTION
The brake shoe of the drum brake can react very sensitive
to dirt and lint etc. Be sure to clean the brake pad regu-
larly with a dry paint brush or with a blow dryer. Be sure
when removing or attaching the wheels with the quick re-
lease axle that you do not break the brake pad. This would
cause a signicant safety risk.
ATTENTION: RISK OF BRUISING
(2+3) When blocking the raster lever you can bruise your
ngers (C) under adverse circumstances.

• (A) anti-tipper holder,
• (B) foot lever,
• (C) anti-tipper wheel with holder,
• (D) anti-tipper bail which can be pulled down and
turned 180° (partly sticking in the anti-tipper hold-
er).
The anti-tipper can be added and mounted on both sides. In
addition, the height of the anti-tipper and the length of the
anti-tipping lever can be changed.
2.8.1 Height setting
• (2) Remove the driving wheels,
• remove the screws (A),
• pull the anti-tipper lever (C) in the holder (D) down,
• displace the screw (A) in the wanted position (A)
• and retighten it.
Alternatively you can turn the holder 180°.
(1) If you want to set the anti-tipper rather low, you can
turn the anti-tipper holder (A) 180°. For this, remove both
screws (E) and the screw (F), remove the anti-tipper lever (D)
and turn it 180°, screw the anti-tipper holder back on to the
frame tube, replace the anti-tipper lever in the holder and
position it as needed with the screw (F) in the holes (2,B).
2.8.2 Length setting
(3) If the wheelchair if set very active and the activated an-
ti-tipper sticks out too far back, then the anti-tipper bail can
be shortened.
• Remove the anti-tipper wheel and holder (C) with
the screw (B),
• shorten the anti-tipper lever, with a suitable saw,
to the length wanted
• and replace the anti-tipper wheel and holder.
• Place the screw (B) in the right hole (A) and tighten
it.
2.8.3 Tipping lever
