4.18. Push handles
The push handles can be adjusted to a higher or lower position to
enable an assistant to push the wheelchair more comfortably.
The cross brace can be removed to facilitate upward or downward
adjustment. Simply loosen the push handle levers accordingly:
39
Loosen the lever screws (Fig. 39) on the push handles and place them
at the desired height. Then re-tighten the lever screws to lock the push
handles in place.
Repeat this procedure on the other side. Always ensure the push
handles are set at the same height. There is an outer scale you can use
to check the height adjustment.
The alignment of the lever screws can be adjusted if they project to the
side: pull the plastic lever towards you. It can then be moved in this
position without altering the screw position.

Reassemble the cross brace and ensure it is firmly attached.
