Changing seat height without adjusting
steering wheel height increases the risk
of tipping
3.5 Removing the drive wheels with
quick release axles
You can simply and quickly remove the drive wheels
(e.g. for loading into a car boot). Press on the black button
in the centre of the wheel with your thumb and hold down.
Pull the wheel towards you (away from the chair frame).
It should slide easily off the shaft mounting. To reinstall
the wheels, press and hold the black button then slide the
wheel back on to the shaft until it is locked in place. When
you release the black button, the wheel should remain
fixed in place and you should not be able to move the
wheel horizontally on the shaft (see fig. 19).
After reinstalling wheels always check that they are
correctly fixed in position.
3.6 Adjusting the steering wheels
If seat height is adjusted (3.7) the steering wheel height
should also be adjusted. Before adjusting, ensure the
brakes are applied to prevent the wheelchair rolling. With
two ring, or open-ended spanners (13mm) undo the wheel
axle. Remove and reposition the steering wheel by using
one of the additional fixing holes (see fig. 21). Once in
position refasten all fixings. Repeat for the other wheel.
Transit version
Please note that some wheelchairs are supplied with
small rear wheels which cannot be self propelled
(see fig. 21a).
When fitting or removing the wheels,
make sure that the brakes are released
and the pins on the shafts are in
position (the two locking balls on the
shaft must be clearly visible on the inside
of the fixing see fig. 20)
