4.2 Installation P3 On The Wheelchair
Make sure that the wheelchair frame is compatible with the fixing clamps and with the P3
thruster. Clamps with a diameter of 30 mm are usually supplied for a frame with front tubes
orthogonal to the floor. Contact Pandhora srl to check compatibility. The installation must be
carried out ONLY by Pandhora srl authorized technicians. No responsibility is assumed for
incorrect installation
WARNING! If the clamps or the frame of the wheelchair are not compatible with P3, the
thruster could be connected untightly to the wheelchair, with the risk of damage to both the
user, the wheelchair and the thruster.
Make sure the thruster is turned off.
Lock the parking brakes of the wheelchair.
Place both the wheelchair and the thruster on a perfectly flat floor.
WARNING! The thruster and the wheelchair, if not placed on a perfectly flat floor during
installation and coupling, could move accidentally and cause damage to both the user and
the device.
Fasten the connection clamps on the wheelchair, without tightening the fixing screws, but
letting it slide freely on the frame.
Unlock the positioning piston and place the side arms parallel to the floor.
Loosen the clamping dowels and widen or tighten the side arms until the axis of the female
couplings is placed perfectly aligned with the axes of the male couplings on the thruster.
Insert a strong threadlocker adhesive, then tighten the fixing screws of the side arms firmly.
WARNING! Dowels loose tightening can cause incorrect coupling with the risk of damage to
both the user, the wheelchair and the thruster
Couple the conical male couplings with the conical female couplings and tighten the lateral
clamping levers.
Properly tighten the clamps to the wheelchair frame with a recommended torque of 10 Nm.
