this manual. Your wheelchair can be equipped with options and accessories not pictured. Designs and specifications
may change without prior notice.
2.2 General explanation of the function and possibilities of your wheelchair
Your wheelchair is a foldable one, which is designed to be easy to transport in a car. Mainly, we divide the
wheelchairs into two categories self propel version with large rear wheels and the transit version with small rear
wheels. You can look at the rear wheel to see which type of wheelchair you have. If you wheelchair has big 24”
rear wheels and you can move it yourself it is a self propel version. If you wheelchair has small 12” rear wheels and
you need a supervisor to push the wheelchair it is a transit version.
Your wheelchair is a product falling into the category of medical equipment and is not a standard consumer
product. You must follow this manual completely to ensure good, optimal and safe use of your wheelchair.

Replacing front castor
You will require 1 x 6mm Allen key, 1 x ½“wrench.
Support the weight of the chair and move the castor into place. Next align the hole of castor with the holes in the
front fork.
Once the holes are aligned use an Allen key to align the bearing inside the castor. Push the Allen key all the way
through the front castor and fork (see figure 8)
With the Allen key pushed through the castor, align the bolt with the Allen key (see figure 9)
Start to push the bolt through the castor whilst removing the Allen key; it is important to keep the bolt and Allen
key touching whilst moving them to ensure the bearing does not drop down between them. Once the bolt is all the
way through the wheel, and front fork. Remove the allen key (see Figure 10)
Now that the bolt is through, place the nut onto the end of the bolt. You will notice that the nut is not perfectly
symmetrical, as one end of the nut is thinner than the other. The thickest side should go towards the wheel you are
replacing (see figure 11)
