Tray
Tray (Fig. 5.46)
The tray provides a flat surface
for most activities. Before using
a tray, it first has to be adjusted
once to the width of the seat by
an authorized dealer. The user
must be sitting in the wheelchair
during the trial run.
Stabilising bar
Folding stabilising bar
This bar is used to stabilise the
backrest. To be able to fold the
wheelchair, the release lever
must be pushed inwards (Fig.
5.47) or released and the
stabilising must be flipped
downwards. When unfolding the
wheelchair, please make sure
that the stabilising bar is locked into position.
Transit Wheels
Transit Wheels (Fig. 5.48)
Transit wheels should be used
wherever your wheelchair would
be too wide if the rear wheels
were used (e.g., in airplanes,
buses, etc.). After the rear
wheels have been removed
with the aid of the quick-release
axles, the transit wheels can
immediately be used to continue
riding. The transit wheels
are mounted so that they are
approx. 30mm above the ground
when not in use. They are thus
out of the way when riding,
transporting, or when tipping to
pass over obstacles (e.g., curbs,
steps, etc.).
WARNING!
Your wheelchair does not have
any wheel locks when the transit
wheels are being used.

6.0 Daily Checks
CAUTION!
As the user, you are the first person to notice any possible
defects. We therefore recommend that before each use, you
check the items in the following list:
•
Check for correct tyre pressures.
•
Check that the brakes work correctly.
•
Check that all removable parts are secure, e.g. armrest,
footrest, quick-release axle etc.
•
Check for visible damage e.g. on the frame, backrest, seat
sling and back sling, wheels, footplate etc.
If there is any damage or malfunction, please contact your
authorised dealer.
7.0 Tyres and mounting
WARNING!
Always make sure that you maintain the correct
tyre pressure (min. 3.5 bar) as this can have an effect on
wheelchair performance.
If the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increase,
requiring more effort to move the chair forward. Low tyre
pressure also has a negative impact on maneuverability.
WARNING!
If the tyre pressure is too high, the tyre could burst.
The correct tyre pressure for a given tyre is printed on the
surface of the tyre (min. 3.5 Bar).
Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle
tyre.
Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make
sure that the base of the rim and interior of the tyre
are free of foreign objects.
Check the pressure after mounting or repairing a tyre.
It is critical to your safety and to the wheelchair's performance
that regulation air pressure be maintained and that tyres are in
good condition.
