Wolturnus sports wheelchairs are ideal for users who want to pracce sports like wheelchair
rugby, basket or tennis. The wheelchair is custom made for the individual user and therefor ts
the user’s specic needs and wishes. Most sports require a strong and rigid frame, but sll light
weighted, which a Wolturnus sports wheelchair provides. The sports wheelchairs are develo-
ped and opmized in collaboraon with European top athletes
For the Basket wheelchair it is possible to choose between xed rear axle and adjustable rear
axle where the user can adjust the balance point. For the Rugby wheelchairs, that is a contact
sport the choice is between an aack or a defense wheelchair regarding the users place on the
team. The Tennis wheelchair is available with one or two casters and one or two an-ppers.

5.2 Transfer
The method of transfer to and from the chair is individually selected reecng the preferences
of the user. The most common method is transferring from the side or the front. Depending on
the user’s mobility and the design of the wheelchair, it will be individual if the user can move
to and from the sports wheelchairs by themselves or need a third part helping for one or both
ways. The following descripon is based on transfer without third-party help and from one
wheelchair to another.
• Place the sports wheelchair against a wall or in a corner (Image 6).
• Place the wheelchair transferring from, close to the sports wheelchair. A trick is to make
sure the front caster will block the sports wheelchair’s front caster, in order to make sure it
will not move when transferring (Image 7).
• Place the foot closet to the sports wheelchair on its footrest and the other foot on the
ground (Image 8).
• Move from the chair to the sports wheelchair. The method of actual transfer will vary from
user to user. Use the method that works best (Image 9-13).
• Place both feet on the footrest.
5 Transport and Storage
5.1 Transport
Due to the big camber angle on most sports wheelchairs which make them wide at oor le-
vel, they can be dicult to transport and geng through the doorway. To avoid this, the rear
wheels can be removed making the wheelchair narrower and easier to transport and storage.
When the rear wheels are removed the wheelchairs will run only on the front wheels and the
an-ppers.
• Use the Quick-Release mechanism to remove the rear wheels (Image 4), or
• If mounted with W-rex, open the hose clamp and remove the rear wheels (Image 5).
When mounng the rear wheels again, make sure the Quick-Release mechanism is locked cor-
rectly; it audibly clicks when correctly in place. For the W-Rex; make sure the hose clamps are
fully locked.

The user should nd the method that works best and maybe have to try dierent ways, before
nding the right method. When transferring the rst couple of mes or unl the right method
is found and the user gets used to the transferring, it is recommended to have a helper present

6.3 Adjusng the Back Depth and Form
The back’s form can be adjusted to suit the individual user’s requirements for support and ba-
lance. The Velcro straps under the back upholstery are used to adjust the back´s form.
• Fold up the back of the backrest upholstery to make the Velcro straps visible (Image 15).
• Loosen or ghten individual straps so that the back’s form suits the user’s requirements
(Image 16).
• Fold down the back upholstery and secure it to the straps.
Adjustments to the back form and depth aects the benet the user gets from the chair
substanally. Wolturnus A/S recommends that the form and the depth are inially adjusted
with assistance from a Wolturnus A/S consultant or from the user’s therapist.
6.4 Adjusng back height (only height-adjustable back)
The back height can be steply adjusted to meet requirements.
• Remove the back upholstery and top.
• Press the spring lock in and either raise or lower the height bar for the back (Image 17).
• To adjust the height even further, the height bar can be removed and reversed (image 18).
• Mount the back upholstery and top again.
6.5 Adjusng the Seat Length
When delivered, the seat length has been adjusted according to the measurement provided in
the customer´s order form, but it can be adjusted if required.
• Remove the seat cushion and release the seat cover from the Velcro straps. (Image 19).
• Push or pull the seat cover into the desired posion (Image 20).
• Fasten the seat cover on the straps and mount the seat cushion.
When the seat and/or the back upholstery straps have been adjusted, the wheelchair’s point
of gravity may have shied, which may create a risk of backward pping. Therefore, aer
adjusng the seat and/or bthe ack upholstery, check the point of gravity and, if necessary,
adjust it before using the chair. (See secon 6.7).

6.6 Adjusng the Seat Depth and Form
• Remove the seat cushion and release the seat cover from the Velcro straps (Image 21).
• Release the Velcro straps and loosen/ghten them if required, then fasten them (Image 22).
• Mount the seat cover and nally ghten the front strap that is sewn into the seat cover
itself.
• Mount the seat cushion.
6.7 Adjusng balance point
If the wheelschair is constructed with adjustable rear axle the wheelchair’s point of gravity
can be changed by moving the rear axle forward or backward. By moving the rear axle and
therefore the rear wheels forwards, the load on the casters is lightened. Pracsed users will
nd that this makes the wheelchair easier to manoeuvre. By moving the rear axle backwards
the distance between the casters and the rear wheel is increased, which increases the stability
during propulsion.
Adjusng the Rear Axle:
• Use the Quick-Release mechanism to remove the rear wheels (Image 23).
• Use a 5 mm Allen key to loosen the three bolts in the triangular bracket that fastens the
rear axle to the frame. Loosen them enought to allow the rear axle with console slide back
or forward on the frame (Image 24).
• Find the desired posion. Use a foot rule or ruler to check that the distance between the
rear axle and the back edge is equal on both sides (Image 25).
• Use a 5 mm Allen key to ghten the bolts with a torque wrench. (Tension 10 Nm/7,4
.lbf/88 in.lbf.)
• Mount the rear wheels and make sure the Quick-Release mechanism is locked correctly; it
audibly clicks when correctly in place (Image 26).
During strap adjustment of the seat and/or back upholstery, the wheelchair’s point of
gravity may have shied, which may create a risk of backward pping. Therefore, aer ad-
jusng the back, check the point of gravity and. If necessary, adjust it before using the chair.
(See secon 6.7).
WARNING!
Image 21 Release seat cover Image 22 Adjust the Velcro straps
Noce; Some users can benit from ghtening the straps towards the front seat edge - not
the back edge. This creates a counterpoint for the back support’s forward pressure on the
lower body and a beer hip posion. Wolturnus A/S recommends that this is done with
assistance from a Wolturnus A/S consultant or the user’s therapist.
INFORMATION
For safety reasons, the wheelchair is delivered with the rear axle placed far back. New users
should not adjust this unl they are experienced in using the chair.
CAUTION!
