8.11 Replacing the rubber shock absorbers
Requirements:
13 mm socket wrench
Several wooden blocks
Note
In the following procedure steps, the wheelchair is manually lifted up and secured in this position
using wooden blocks. Alternatively, you can achieve this by lifting the wheelchair using a crane or
a combination of pulley and belts, if your workshop has the corresponding equipment.
WARNING: Danger of accidents!
Danger to people, the surroundings and wheelchair!
The specifications of the crane or pulley and belts must be sufficient for the weight
of the wheelchair.
Pay attention to the maximum load capacity of the crane and the breaking
strength of the belts.
Never position yourself under heavy objects suspended in the air by cranes or
pulleys.
Uninstalling rubber shock absorbers:
Remove the rear and the middle battery box covers, as described in chapter 8.1.1 und 8.1.2.
Use the 13 mm socket wrench to loosen and remove the self-securing nut (3).
Repeat this on the other side of the wheelchair.
Lift the frame tube of the wheelchair in the rear so that the threaded pin (2) is pulled out of the
guide.
Place one or more wooden blocks between the frame tube and the battery box.
Turn the rubber shock absorber clockwise (as seen from above) by hand and replace it.
Repeat this on the other side of the wheelchair.
