Castor; Seat - Zippie Simba Gebrauchsanweisung

Castor

Castor, Castor adapter, Castor fork
From time to time the wheelchair may veer slightly to the right or left or
the castors may flutter.
This may be caused by the following:
• The forward or reverse wheel motion has not been set properly.
• The castor angle has not been adjusted properly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; wheels do not turn
smoothly.
The optimum adjustment of the castors is required for the wheelchair to
run in a straight line.
Castors should always be adjusted by an authorised dealer. The castor
plates must be readjusted, and the wheel locks must be checked any
time the rear wheel position has been altered.
Adjusting the castor
To ensure that both forks are set parallel, simply count the teeth visible
on both sides. After setting the castor fork, the teeth will guarantee a
secure position, allowing an adjustment of 16° in 2° increments. Use the
flat side to check for a right-angled position to the ground.
The patented design allows the castor fork to be turned, so that it can be
reset at right-angles to the ground when the seat angle is changed (Fig.
5.10 + 5.11).
Setting the directional stability
Release the Allen screws (1) on the underside of the fork. You can then
undo the screw (2). You can now turn the black socket (3) left or right.
Left – chair pulls to the left
Right – chair pulls to the right
Then tighten up the screw (2) again. Please set a 90° angle from the fork
to the floor.
Now tighten up the screw (1) again. (Fig. 4.16).
CAUTION!
The screws/bolts used on this wheelchair have thread locking fluid
applied at the factory. After five refits, either replace the screws/bolts for
new items or re-apply freash thread locking fluid, (intermediate strength).

Seat

Adjusting the seat height
To adjust the rear seat height release and remove the Allen screw (1)
(one on each side), that fixes the clamp, (2) to the axle plate. Adjust the
two camber tube clamps (2) to the required height and replace the two
Allen screws. Before tightening the screws, please follow the instructions
for setting the toe-in/toe-out to zero.
Tighten the screws to 10 Nm (Fig.5.13)
CAUTION!
• An adjustment to the castor angle may be necessary when adjusting
the rear seat height.
• The screws/bolts used on this wheelchair have thread locking fluid
applied at the factory. After five refits, either replace the screws/bolts
for new items or re-apply freash thread locking fluid, (intermediate
strength).
