STANDARD PROPULSION CONFIGURATION MID-WHEEL PROPULSION CONFIGURATION

Figure 23: To change front (rear) wheels model and height.

The front wheel position is adjusted at the factory as per the

seat depth chosen. There is a risk of instability when the seat

is farther ahead than the front wheels. In a mid-wheel

propulsion configuration rear forks positions don't have to be

adjusted.

The adjustments of your wheelchair must be made

by a health care professional. Inadequate adjustments can

cause wounds and/or damage to the user, the caregiver, the

wheelchair or the environment.

With a mid-wheel configuration you always have to change the

front, central and rear wheels at the same time.
