Quick release self-propelling wheels
Your wheelchair may be fitted with either fixed or quick
release wheels. Quick release wheels can be removed from
the wheelchair to make it lighter for lifting and easier to
store.
To remove wheel: -
Press the button (1) in the centre of the wheel and slide the
axle and wheel out of the axle bush fully.
1
To replace wheels: -
Reverse the above procedure and depress the
centre button of the axle and push the exposed
axle into the wheel bush. When the axle/wheels
are fully inserted release the centre button.
2
Check that the button is fully released and that
the wheel is secure in the axle bush by pulling
the wheel gently away from the wheelchair. The
wheel should remain in the same place.
Always ensure that the quick release wheels are fully engaged with the locking ball
bearings (2) on the axle shaft fully engaged and visible on the inner side of the axle bush.
Never mount the quick release rear axles with the release button positioned inside the
frame. This will cause the wheels to release when the chair is folded.
Do not alter the position of the wheels in the wheel mounting blocks without the
approval of the person prescribing the wheelchair.
