Options – Anti-Tip Tubes
Anti-tip tubes (7.93.1)
The anti-tip tubes (1) provide addi-
tional safety for inexperienced
users when they are still learning
how to operate their wheelchairs.
Anti-tip tubes (1) prevent a
wheelchair from tipping over back-
wards. By pulling the interlock (2),
the anti-tip tube can be height
adjusted. There should be a gap of 2,5 cm to the
floor. To go up or down a step (e.g. kerb) the anti-tip
tubes must be swung upwards, to prevent them
from touching the ground.
Options – Comfort seat
Comfort seat (7.101.2)
The Comfort seat allows you to be
seated for a long period of time,
because of the anatomical, sha-
ped seat plate and anatomically
shaped cushions. The cushion is
held by Velcro and can also be
removed. The cover can be was-
hed (see the instructions on the
cushion).
Seat depth (7.102.2)
After loosening the screws (1), you
can set the seat depth to the
desired position. Then tighten the
screws again (see the page on
torque).
CAUTION!
The maximum seat depth (see
marking and endstop) must not
be exceeded.
Seat width adjustment (7.105.1)
You can extend the width of the seat of your
wheelchair by removing the upholstery (1).
Adjustable seat angle (2°-20°)
By pulling the lever the seat is released and can be
put into the desired position.
When you let go, the seat is automatically fixed in
the new position.
CAUTION:
The angle-adjustable seat may only be used with
anti-tip tubes.
The gap between the anti-tip tubes and the gro-
und must be a maximum of 2.5 cm.
CAUTION:
To ensure the correct function of the cables, the-
se must never be taut.
CAUTION:
There is a danger of trapping your fingers when
you adjusting the seat.
CAUTION:
Never adjust the seat angle if the wheelchair is
on a slope.

Options – Crutch holder
Crutch holder (7.110)
The crutch holder permits crutches to be
transported directly on the wheelchair. The
crutch holder has a Velcro loop to fasten crut-
ches or other walking aids.
CAUTION!
Never try to use or remove the crutches or
other aids while moving.
Options – Tray
Tray (7.111)
The tray provides a flat surface for
most activities. Before using a tray,
it first has to be adjusted to the
width of the seat by an authorized
dealer. The user must be sitting in
the wheelchair whilst this adjust-
ment is made.
Tyres and Mounting
Tyres and Mounting (8.1)
Always make sure that you maintain the correct tyre pres-
sure, as this can have an effect on the performance of the
wheelchair. If the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance
will increase, requiring more effort to move the chair for-
ward. Low tyre pressure also has a negative impact on
manoeuvrability. If the tyre pressure is to high, the tyre
could burst. The correct tyre pressure for a given tyre is
printed on the surface of the tyre.
Tyres can be mounted/repaired in the same way as for an
ordinary bicycle tyre. Before fitting a new inner tube, you
should always make sure that the base of the rim and inner
wall of the tyre are free of foreign objects. Check the tyre
pressure after mounting or repairing a tyre. It is critical to
your safety and to the wheelchair's performance that regu-
lation air pressure be maintained and that tyres are in good
condition.
