Footplates; Headrest; Casters - Zippie YOUNGSTER 3 Manual De Usuario

footplates

angle-adjustable footplate (composite + aluminum) -
(fig.4.8-4.9)
The footplates can be flipped up to facilitate getting in
and out of your wheelchair.
The footplates can be adjusted within their angle of
inclination, relative to a level surface. Loosen screws (1
to 2). Then set the footplates to the desired angle. After-
wards, tighten all screws. After adjustment, always make
sure that all screws are tightened properly (see the page
on Torque). In order to avoid the wheelchair tipping over,
make sure that the minimum interval of 2.5 cm between
the foot rest tubing and the ground is maintained (with
horizontal seat).
To adjust the width open the screws (1+2) then slide out
both brackets (3+4).

headrest

headrest (fig. 4.10)
The headrest (Fig. 4.14) can be raised and moved hori-
zontally both forwards and backwards.
To do this, loosen the screw (1,2 or 3).
Now you can adjust to the desired position. Tighten
screws again (see the page on torque).
In order to fold the wheelchair, please open the clamping
lever (1), slide the headrest bracket to the right side and
fold it down. Now you can fold the chair. To unfold the
chair, please fold the headrest bracket up, re-position the
sliding gap into the clamping lever and slide it to the left.
Finally close the clamping lever again (Fig.4.11).

casters

adjusting the castor
To ensure that both forks are set parallel, simply count
the teeth visible on both sides. After setting the castor
fork, the teeth will guarantee a secure position, allowing
an adjustment of 16° in 2° increments, (Fig. 4.12).
Use the flat side on the front of the castor fork to check
for a right-angled position to the ground.
The patented design allows the castor fork to be turned,
so that it can be reset at right-angles to the ground when
the seat angle is changed.
setting the castor, castor adapter & castor fork (fig.
4.13)
If the wheelchair veers slightly to the right or left, or the
castors flutter, it may be caused by one or more of the
following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set
properly.
• The castor angle has not been adjusted properly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; the
wheels do not turn sufficiently freely.
The optimum adjustment of the castors is required so that
the wheelchair runs in a straight line.
Castors should always be adjusted by an authorised
dealer. The castor plates must be re-adjusted, and the
wheel receiver must be checked every time the rear
wheel position has been altered.
