Foreword
Please read this manual carefully to insure safe usage
and understanding of maintenance instructions.
Congratulations on your purchase of a Drive
wheelchair. Drive wheelchairs are a product of qua-
lity engineering and are manufactured to meet our
own highly rigid specifications and will surpass all
your expectations.
Use and Safety
Wheel locks
Engage both wheel locks before getting in or out of
chair, leaning forward in chair, or while in an elevator
or wheelchair lift. Proper adjustment of wheel lock is
at least 0,19" when locked. Locks are engaged by
pushing handle completely forward. Adjustments
to locks are made by loosening or tightening nut on
the carriage bolt. Embed lock shoe at least 0,19"
by sliding clamp toward rear wheel while handle is
engaged in locked position. Tighten nut and bolt to
secure in position. Test for correct locking action
before actual use.
Tires
Solid rubber tires need minimal maintenance, but
should be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth.
Replace if tires become severely worn or cracking
appears.
Front Casters
Casters should be checked periodically and lubri-
cated occasionally. Lubricate by removing fork and
greasing caster stem bearings. Lubricate wheel bea-
rings by removing wheel from fork. Reassemble fork
and wheel by tightening nuts until no play remains,
but wheels roll freely. If nut is too loose, caster will
shimmy, if too tight, chair will be hard to steer.
Removal of swing-away foot rest/leg rest
Die Verriegelung lösen; dazu den Hebel vorne an der
Beinstütze drücken. Zum Abnehmen die Fuß-/Bein-
auflage seitlich wegschwenken und dann anheben.
Adjusting length of footrest/leg rest
When adjusting length of foot rests or leg rests,
user should be sitting in wheelchair with feet
on the foot plates. Loosen bolt on the clamp
around support assembly. Raise or lower foot
plate to desired position that will provide maxi-
mum support of thighs. Front rigging should not
be so low that it causes uncomfortable pressu-
re to thighs at front of seat upholstery. Footrest
should not be lower than 2-1/2" from the ground
to ensure clearance.
Adjusting/elevating leg rest
Lift foot plate on leg rest assembly to desired positi-
on. Release leg rest assembly and it will automatical-
ly lock into place. To lower, push out on leg rest lever
and lower foot plate to desired position.
Wheels
Large rear wheels should be inspected at least once
a month to ensure proper tightness. If wheel wobbles
or is loose, release lock nut and tighten axle bolt
slightly. Test for proper tightness by learning chair to
one side and spin adjusted wheel.
General Care
Wipe chrome parts with a clean, soft cloth at least
once a week. All metal parts can be cleaned with
auto wax or similar poducts. If exposed to moistu-
re, dry immediately. Do not use an abrasive cleanser
that will scratch the finish.
To open chair
Open wheelchair by tilting to one side and pushing
down on seat rail until fully opened.
To close/fold chair
First fold foot plates to vertical position. Grab seat
with both hands at front and back edge and lift. Or,
tilt chair to one side and lift up on seat rail.
Removable arms
Remove arms by depressing spring button and lif-
ting arms out of front and rear sockets.
