SERVICE MANUAL
REAR WHEELS REPLACEMENT 1
From 12” (300 mm) to 16” (400 mm) and vice-versa
The wheels are provided with a specific assembly kit that includes two receivers with Ø12mm hole, Ø12mm quick release ax-
les, washers, spacers, and nuts.
Therefore, when you change the wheels, you also have to change the receivers that are already assembled on the wheelchair.
In the pictures here below, you should notice that the brake assembly is different. In fact, with 12” wheels, the brake rod i s
facing frontward (reversed assembly), whereas, with 16” wheels, the brake rod if facing backward (regular assembly).
You will have to change the brake assembly, too.
The rear wheel plate, for both sizes of these rear wheels, is assembled facing downward and so it remains.
Remove the wheel.
Screw off the receiver B.
See also adjustment sheet “seat height”.
Mount the receiver of the new wheel and add washer and spacers
until the distance C(from the plate to the receiver’s head) is, for
the time being, 8-10 mm. Temporarily fix the receiver.
Screw off the two bolts Aand remove the brake.
Put the wheel on.
Now, it is necessary to modify the brake assembly because, as
above mentioned, for the 12” and 16” the assembly is different.
To modify the brake assembly, see adjustment sheet “inversion of
brake assembly”.
After reversing the brake assembly, mount it on the wheelchair
following the instructions on the adjustment sheet “brake”.
Now, check that the centre of the tyre is approximately centred
with the brake knurled rod. That to guarantee a good braking. Fur-
thermore, with 16” wheels, check that there is no interference be-
tween the tyre and the brake rod or the bolts Afixing it. All that
depends on the distance C. If necessary, add or remove spacers
accordingly.
Finally, tighten the receiver B. If the nut is not a lock nut, spread
some mild lock thread glue.
Mind the seat height, see also adjustment sheet “seat height”.
