GENERAL DESCRIPTION ctd.
1. Backrest
The adjustable backrest can be folded down by means of a locking mechanism
fitted to both sides of the lower part of the backrest pillars. To fold the backrest
down, push on both of the black plastic levers, then pull back and down on the
top part of the backrest. To return to the original, reverse the procedure, making
sure the mechanisms are locked securely. You will hear a click when the
backrest is locked back into position correctly.
2. Handles
The handles are designed for the helper to propel the wheelchair and to
stop the wheelchair with the hand brakes. They must not be used solely for
lifting the wheelchair over obstructions or kerbs (see negotiating obstacles).
3. Armrest
PVC pads are fixed onto the armrest for comfort and can be replaced as spare
parts.
4. Seat Upholstery
Periodically check the upholstery for signs of tears or sagging. Replace
immediately if the seat is damaged. Remember: the seat upholstery is the
primary weight – supporting material.
5. Footplates
The footplates are intended as a foot support only when you are sitting in the
wheelchair. On no account should you stand on the footplates. The calf straps
(if fitted) can be used to secure the position of the feet. The footplate
assemblies can be adjusted in height by loosening the nut of the base of the
adjustment tube, positioning the plate at the required height and tightening
the nut to secure the assembly.
The footplate supports cannot be adjusted but are moveable from the
Wheelchair. They can be swung away to the outside of the wheelchair. To
carry out this procedure, press the release lever and swing the support to the
outside of the wheelchair. If the support is to be removed, lift it upwards. To
re-fit and return to the original position, reverse the above procedure.
6. Castor and bearing
The front wheels have solid puncture proof tyres. These should be checked at
regular intervals to monitor any wear. Wheelchairs become difficult to steer
and propel when surfaces have worn flat. It is recommended that both front
tyres are replaced at the same time to avoid one side of the wheelchair from
being higher than the other.
The front wheels are secured to the castor fork by an axle bolt and axle nut.
Periodically, this bolt and nut should be checked and tightened if necessary to
