8.15.2 Adjusting the wheel fork
CAUTION!
• The mobility aid is very heavy. You should seek help from a second person!
Requirements:
• 19 mm socket spanner
• If necessary remove the cover cap (2).
• Get help of a second person to tilt the mobility aid to the rear.
• Rotate the wheel forks (5) upwards.
• Let go of the wheel forks so that they can swing downwards again.
• Adjust the nut (3) with a 19mm socket spanner so that the wheel forks are not too loose but
can still rotate freely.
The wheel forks should oscillate to the opposite side a maximum of once and then come to
rest facing downwards.
• Place the mobility aid on all four wheels again.
• Test the mobility aid's manoeuvrability.
• Repeat the adjustment steps if necessary until the castors are correctly adjusted.
• Refit the cap (2).
