By adjusting the rear wheels 1. in rear adjustment position, the wheelchair becomes more stable, but less manoeuvrable; 2. in front adjustment position, it becomes less stable but more manoeuvrable. To increase stability or manoeuvrability, the following adjustments can be made: · Rear-wheel position, see §3.2. · Seat height and angle, see §3.3. Installation manual - 4 - 3.2 Rear-wheel position CAUTION Risk of injuries or damage After adjusting the rear wheels, check the working of the brakes and adjust according to §3.5. Adjust the position of the rear wheel as follows: 1. Remove the 4 socket screws located in the holes (2) of the mounting plate (1). 2. Move the mounting plate to the front or rear within the range of the 2 adjustment holes. 3. Retighten the 4 socket screws in holes (2). V-series wheelchairs 2023-07 Adjustments EN NL 1 For V300 30°, V500 30°, V500 Light 30°, and depending on use: We advise you to mount the mounting plate (1) of rear wheels 1 in the most rearward position. Install two anti-tipping rollers (2) if the wheelchair is to be moved with inclined backrest. 2 3.3 Seat height and angle 3.3.1 Adjustment settings The seat of the V300 & V500 wheelchairs is adjustable in height and angle (0°-2,5°-5°-7,5°-10°). The adjustment settings depend on the wheelchair model as shown in table 1 up to table 3 in this section. Each table is followed by an illustration of the adjustment points. The adjustment procedures are explained in §3.3.2. The values in the tables are for the default seat angle of 5°. For other seat angle - seat height combinations, the same table can be used. If you don't find the right seat angle - seat height combination, please contact Vermeiren. The adjustment of seat height and seat angle is based on: · Relocating bushing (B) to a position above or under the housing (C) of the castor axle; · Mounting front wheel higher of lower in the front fork (A); · Mounting the rear wheel higher or lower in the mounting plate (D). Wheelchairs with Bi5 armrests: Do not install the rear wheels in the highest position (hole 1) to avoid damage to the wheels and armrests.
