3.1 Stability and manoeuvrability
Risk of tipping over
Be aware that by changing the position of the rear wheels, the stability of the wheelchair is
influenced.
By adjusting the rear wheels
1.
in rear adjustment position, the wheelchair becomes more stable, but less manoeuvrable;
2.
in front adjustment position, it becomes less stable but more manoeuvrable.
To increase stability or manoeuvrability following adjustments can be made:
•Rear-wheel position, see §3.2.
•Seat height and angle, see §3.3
CAUTION
Risk of injuries or damage
•Read the instruction manual of the specific wheelchair.
•
Be aware of the technical details and limits of intended use; see the instruction manual.

3.2 Rear-wheel position
Risk of injuries or damage
After adjustment of the rear wheels, check the working of the brakes and adjust according to
§3.5.
Adjust the position of the rear wheel as follows:
1. Remove the 4 socket screws located in the holes (2) of
mounting plate (1).
2. Move the mounting plate to the front or rear within the range
of the adjustment holes.
3. Retighten the 4 socket screws in holes (2).
Only for V300 30° and depending on use:
We
advised to mount the mounting plate (1) of rear
wheels in the
most rear position.
Install
two anti-tipping rollers (2) if the wheelchair is to
be
moved with inclined backrest.
3.3 Seat height and angle
3.3.1 Adjustment settings
The seat of the V300 & V500 wheelchairs are adjustable in heights and angle (0°-2,5°-5°-
7,5°-10°). The adjustment settings depend on the wheelchair model as collected in table 1 up
to table 3 in this section. Each table is followed by an illustration of the adjustment points.
The adjustment procedures are explained in §3.3.2.
The values in the tables are for the default seat angle of 5°. For other seat angle - seat height
combinations, the same table can be used. If you don't find the right seat angle - seat height
combination, please contact Vermeiren.
The adjustment of seat height and seat angle is based on (see also following figure):
•Relocating bushing (B) to a position above or under the housing (C) of the castor
axle;
•Mounting front wheel higher of lower in the front fork (A);
•Mounting the rear wheel higher or lower in the mounting plate (D).
