5 Introduction
Before starting your journey, familiarise
yourself with these operating instructions
paying particular attention to the safety
information and hazard warnings contained
within them.
Why not let therapists and doctors advise
you, your carers and assistants on how to use
the product and what you are safe to do with
the product based on your current ability.
Clarify with them as well which wheelchair
techniques you can learn on the basis of your
ability. Under no circumstances should you do
anything with or in the product which you have
not learnt to and have not mastered.
You, your carers and assistants should
also seek advice from your therapists and
doctors as well as your specialist retailer on
the use and settings on your product as well as
available safety accessories (e.g. anti-tippers
and waist belt). It is then important that you
also follow this advice.
Overestimating your own ability or
underestimating a dangerous situation or
action with the product can have serious
consequences for you and other people.
If you are not sure how to handle the
product or if technical faults occur, please
contact your dealer or PRO ACTIV before
using it.
Make sure that when combining your
product with equipment made by other
manufacturers (e.g. seat cushion, drive
devices, etc.) that the serviceability of the
individual components and the unit made up of
them is ensured. You can get information on
the suitability of a combination from the
manufacturer of the external components or
from your specialist retailer.

12 Safety instructions – prior to
driving / use
When getting into the wheelchair, do not
tread on the footrests as this may tip the chair
over.
Before every trip, check the condition of
the wheels (e.g. visual inspection of the spokes
and rims, check the tyres for damage, foreign
bodies and crack formation). If you have any
doubts about the serviceability of the product,
stop using it.
Check tyre pressures at regular intervals.
Ensure that you comply with the
manufacturer's specifications which can be
found on the tyres. Tyre pressure which is too
low affects on the driving behaviour of the
product and has a negative effect on the
braking efficiency.
Before starting out, check that the
product's brake works. If all existing brakes are
not fully functional, no trips may be taken.
Check the stable condition of the seat and
back upholstery at regular intervals and in case
of doubt, have your dealer assess its condition.
Always ensure that your feet cannot slip
off the footrest when using the product, if
necessary by using a special securing device.
Before using the product, ensure that the
anti-tippers are in the operating position and in
good working order. In this case, it must not be
possible to swivel the anti-tippers to the side
when in operating position without having to
unlock them first.
The lower edge of the anti-tipper wheels
may not be any more than 5 cm from the
ground. If a larger gap is required or
necessary, then you need to work with your
therapists and doctors to practice and learn to
handle the increased risk of tipping.
Due to environmental effects, it is possible
that the properties and therefore secure
attachment of the push handle covers may
change detrimentally. For this reason, it is
important to check the handles are tightly fitted
and fixed in position prior to use. If this should
no longer be the case, then the push handles
may not be used until they have been fixed
.
Every time before you use the product,
make sure that the anti-tippers and push
handles are firmly attached and the quickrelease axles on the caster and drive wheels
are also securely locked in place.
Depending on its optional extras, the
product may have folding / closing
mechanisms which pose a risk of crushing
Operating instructions SPEEDY 4all & 4you & 4teen
9
injuries (e.g. trapping your fingers). For this
reason, please allow your specialist retailer to
explain how to work these mechanisms and
then have a go yourself under instruction.
If required, you can have a suitable waist
belt fitted to your product. Please make sure
that the waist belt is set up so that it does not
have any negative impact on breathing, does
not strangle you should you fall or tip out of the
product and which you can easily remove
yourself.
When travelling, always carry a repair kit
and tyre pump for repairs in event of
punctured / flat tyre. A alternative to this is a
pump spray that fills your tyre with a foam that
hardens in the tyre.
13 Safety instructions – while
driving / using
Please note that some parts of your
product can become extremely hot in at hot
ambient temperatures (e.g. a sauna). This
means that above 50°C, the product may be
damaged and above 40°C there is already the
risk of burns for the user, which should not be
underestimated, particularly for people with
impaired sensitivity. For this reason, the
product should not be exposed to such
extreme temperatures. PRO ACTIV cannot
accept any liability or provide any warranty for
personal injury and material damage caused
by such stresses. There are also certain risks
that exist at extremely low temperatures, which
must be minimised by wearing appropriately
insulating clothes for example.
You may only drive on slopes where the
product can be safely controlled with the
handrims.
Use particular caution when approaching
stairs, edges, drops or other hazard areas.
Due to the high risk of tipping up and
being injured, you should never try to ride an
escalator in the product.
When driving round a bend, reduce your
speed to a minimum.
Do not ride parallel to slopes due to the
risk of tipping.
Please note that the knee lever wheel
lock, the integrated brake and the Stop Lock
brake which your product is fitted with is a
parking brake which may only be applied when
the product is at a standstill. These are not
service brakes which are suitable for reducing
speed.
Do not attach objects (carrier bags, etc.)
to the product.
Make sure that the passive illumination
(reflectors) are always on your product, are in
perfect condition and are clearly visible.
When driving on areas which are used for
pedestrians, observe the maximum permitted
speed (walking speed 6 km/h) and keep a
sufficient distance (if possible the width of a
wheelchair) from the kerbs or other obstacles
and other road users.
Avoid driving on unpaved or loose
surfaces (e.g. on loose gravel, in sand, mud,
snow, ice or through deep puddles of water).
When travelling on poorly maintained
paths (e.g., large gravel, potholes) there is an
increased risk of puncturing your tyres as well
as tipping.
When travelling on poorly maintained
paths with potholes and loose stones, drive
carefully to try to prevent the caster wheels
from becoming locked.
If you encounter new driving situations
which are unknown to you, approach them with
great care. If you consider that the risk is too
high, you must immediately abort the driving
manoeuvre and, if required, call for help to
assist you in extracting yourself from this
situation.
Operating instructions SPEEDY 4all & 4you & 4teen
10
The product can affect other devices, for
example theft protection barriers in department
stores.
The product is only designed to be used
to transport persons with limited mobility and
must not be used for any other purpose, e.g. to
transport goods.
When reversing, the anti-tippers should
always be used as there is an increased risk of
tipping over. If this is not possible, then ask
other people to help ensure that there is no risk
of tipping over.
The product may only be propelled using
the handrims. If you drive propelling the chair
with the tyres (thumbs or fingers on the tread
of the tyre), there is the risk of crushing or
otherwise injuring fingers and thumbs.
Do not reach into the area of the spokes or
other tight spaces in the vicinity of the wheels.
There is an increased risk of being injured
here, particularly while in motion. If you have
limited coordination of your limbs, then you
should protect the spokes with a spoke shield
for example to minimise the risks.
Smoking when riding is forbidden as the
seat and back system may be damaged from
ash which falls down.
14 Safety instructions regarding
obstacles
Obstacles like curbs, for example, should
always be negotiated driving forwards and
always using the minimum speed required.
The maximum obstacle height which can
be negotiated is 10 cm.
When driving over or passing obstacles, it
is important that you avoid any product or body
parts catching on the obstacle as this may lead
to falling causing serious injuries to the user
and third parties as well as damage to the
product.
Always drive over curbs or other obstacles
so that you cross them to the front or at right
angles. If you approach them at an angle, or
only have one rear wheel on the obstacle,
there is an increased risk of tipping over to the
side which can result in serious injuries to the
user and third-parties as well as damage to the
product.
If the product user needs to be
transported over an obstacle, such as a step,
and there are suitable facilities such as a ramp
or a lift available, then these should be used. If
such facilities are not available, then the
obstacle is to be overcome by being carried by
two helpers. When carrying the product, it may
not be lifted by the side sections, the drive
wheels or the footrests. We recommend
holding the product on the frame and back
cross bar.
Before overcoming an obstacle (steps,
threshold, etc.) the anti-tippers need to be
swivelled from operating to passive position so
that they do not make contact with the step you
are trying to get over. Otherwise this could lead
to a serious fall. After overcoming the obstacle,
the anti-tippers need to be put back in
operating position (Chapter 24).
For overcoming obstacles such as kerb s
or steps, the product needs to be actively
tipped. The castor wheel may otherwise jam at
right angles to the obstacle and could block.
This could damage the caster wheel or the
caster fork and cause injury. If actively tipping
it is not possible, then the obstacle should not
be approached or you need to request
assistance from an accompanying person.
Particular attention needs to be paid to this
when using an auxiliary drive.

15 Safety instructions regarding
dangerous locations and
dangerous situations
The operator of the product determines the
route to be driven taking the operating
instructions, their driving knowledge and
physical abilities into consideration.
The personal driving skills are particularly
important in the following dangerous locations
which are provided as examples; the product's
user must use their judgement before driving in
such locations:
quay walls, landing and berthing locations,
paths and locations close to water,
unsecured bridges and dykes.
narrow paths, slopes (e.g. ramps and
driveways), narrow paths on a slope,
mountainous routes.
narrow and / or steeply sloping paths along
main roads or near cliffs.
routes which are covered in leaves, snow
or ice.
ramps and lifting equipment on vehicles.
When driving in a circle or turning on hills
or downward slopes, there may be an
increased tendency to tip over to the side due
to the changes in the centre of gravity. Always
perform these driving manoeuvres with
increased caution and only at slow speed. If
required, the driving manoeuvre must not be
performed or only with the help of an assistant.
When crossing main roads, intersections
and level crossings, extreme caution is
needed. Crossing rails in the road or at level
crossings must never be undertaken when
travelling parallel to them, as otherwise the
wheels could become caught which would
result in the product being unable to
manoeuvre.
When driving on ramps and lifting
equipment on vehicles, extreme caution is
needed. When lifting or lowering a ramp or
lifting equipment, the parking brake of the
product should be applied.
The grip of the tyres on the ground is
reduced in the wet. There is an increased risk
of slipping. Adjust your driving, braking and
steering behaviour accordingly.
16 Safety instructions – after
driving / use
Apply the parking brake before leaving the
product.
When getting out of the wheelchair, do not
tread on the footrest due to the risk of tipping
up.
17 Individual setting options
17.1 Adapting the seating height at the
back
The product is equipped with an axle plate that
permits a seat height adjustment in steps of 1
cm.
Figure 1: Wheel plate for rear seat height

3. Position the aluminium locking nuts back
onto the drive wheel bearings in such a
manner that these rest slightly against the
position gate and then set the drive wheel
track correctly (see chapter 21.2).
When changing the rear seat height each time:
the wheel track of the drive wheels must
be checked and readjusted if necessary
(see chapter 21.2).
the caster wheel axle must be readjusted
(see chapter 22.4).

the brakes must be readjusted (see
chapter 25).
if necessary, the height of the anti-tipping
support may have to be readjusted (see
chapter 24.3).
17.2 Adjusting the seat height at the
front / angle of seat
If the seat height has to be adjusted, the angle
of the seat or the front seat height can be
adjusted. This setting is carried out via the
position of the caster wheels in the caster
wheel fork and the caster fork size.
17.2.1 Adapting by positioning the caster
wheels in the caster fork
Smaller adaptations of the front seat height or
angle of seat can be carried out via the
positioning of the caster wheel in the caster
fork. Generally, the caster wheel forks have
three possible positions that can be used to
change the front seat height in steps of 15 mm.
If the angle of seat has to be increased or
the front seat height increased, the caster
wheel is mounted in the caster fork in a
lower position.
If the angle of seat has to be reduced or
the front seat height decreased, the caster
wheel is mounted in the caster fork in a
higher position.
Figure 7: Three positions in the caster fork for
positioning the caster wheel and its effect on the
front seat height
The instructions for disassembly and assembly
of the caster wheels can be found in chapter
22.1.
17.2.2 Adaptation by replacing the caster
fork
If the adjustment range of the cater fork
present is insufficient, you can use the use the
next longer or shorter one.
In doing so, the bottom position of the fork size
1 is equivalent to the top position of fork size 2
and the bottom position of fork size 2 to the top
position of fork size 3.

17.2.3 General instructions
When changing the angle of seat or front seat
height each time:
the wheel track of the drive wheels must
be checked and readjusted if necessary
(see chapter 21.2).
the caster wheel axle must be readjusted
(see chapter 22.4).
the brakes must be readjusted (see
chapter 25).
the backrest angle must be readjusted
(see chapter 18.1).
make sure the clearance under the footrest
is sufficient. Experience shows that this
should not be less than 4 cm. (see
chapter23).
if necessary, the height of the anti-tipping
support may have to be readjusted (see
chapter 24.3).
17.3 Adjusting the tipping point
An optimum tipping property of the product is
reached when the axle mount of the drive
wheels is close to the body centre of gravity. A
product adjusted like this can be driven with
little effort and it also makes it possible to
manage a slightly uneven surface or edges by
tipping slightly. Driving on both drive wheels
(doing a wheelie) is relatively easy to learn.
Inexperienced wheelchair users are prevented
from tipping over backwards by anti-tippers.
In any case, the setting should be made to suit
your individual requirements and ability to
ensure you can drive your chair safely.
17.3.1 Inlet types
Setting the tipping point is carried out by
changing the horizontal position of the wheel
plate on the bottom frame tube.
Figure 9: Terminology
The wheel plate is mounted to the frame using
three M6 fixing screws and one inlet in the
frame. With the inlets, differentiate between the
long and short inlets. The selection of the inlets
is orientated, amongst others, on the seat
width, weight of the wheelchair user, type of
wheel plate or equipment (e.g., one-hand
operation, wheelbase extension). Depending
on the inlet length, then the procedure for
adapting the tipping point also differentiates.
Figure 10: Long and short inlet with wheel plate
The short inlet has a thread in the end face
and the long inlet does not.

The following features indicate if a long or a
short inlet is installed: With the short inlet, a
tube plug is applied to the end of the frame, the
long inlet does not have one.
Figure 12: Tube plug at the end of the frame means
"short inlet"
Figure 13: No tube plug at the end of the frame
means "long inlet"
17.3.2 Adaptation via horizontal
positioning of the wheel plate
In order to adjust the tipping position, first
remove the drive wheels via the quick release
axles(see chapter 21.1) and turn the product
around so that you have direct access to the
wheel plates. Then proceed as follows:
1. Slightly undo the aluminium locking nuts
on both sides.
Figure 14: Aluminium locking nuts
2. This step affects the fixing of the inlets:
If you have long inlets
in the frame, on
each side turn one M6 screw into a tipping
position not required during the adjustment
in order to fix the inlets during the
adjustment process. These inlets must not
be moved during the adjustment as they
cover all tipping points due to their length.
However, the screws prevent the inlets
from twisting and thus, the thread of the
inlets and the tipping point position of the
frame are no longer resting precisely on
top of one-another.
If you have short inlets
in the frame,
remove the tube plugs on both sides and
turn the long M6 screws into the thread of
the inlet in the frame from behind in order
to fix the inlet and to be able to move it into
position afterwards during the adjustment.
These inlets must be moved into position
during the adjustment as they must be
positioned directly behind the wheel plates
due to their length.
The tube plugs are inserted very tight
and must be disassembled using a
screwdriver or a blade.

Figure 15: Short inlet with M6 screw screwed in

3. Remove the three fixing screws (AF 5 mm)
on both wheel plates.
Figure 16: M6 fixing screws
4. Now set the wheel plates at the desired
tipping position on both sides of the frame.
If you have short inlets
in the frame, using
the long M6 screws that you have
previously screwed into the thread from
behind, you have to position this accurately
behind the wheel plates so that the tipping
point positions in the frame and thread rest
accurately against one another in the
frame and thread.
The long inlets
do not have to be moved.
5. Then fix both wheel plates again, each
with three M6 fixing screws and tighten
these slightly (2 Nm).
6. With long inlets
in the frame, now you can
remove the additional fixing screws again
(see step 2).
If you have short inlets
in the frame, now
you can remove the long M6 screws from
the threads of the inlets and reinsert the
tube plugs a the ends of the frame.
7. Position the aluminium locking nuts back
onto the drive wheel bearings in such a
manner that these rest slightly against the
position gate and then set the drive wheel
track correctly (see chapter 21.2).
8. Now tighten the respective three M6 fixing
screws to the wheel plates to 7 Nm.
After each change to the tipping point:
the wheel track of the drive wheels must
be checked and readjusted if necessary
(see chapter 21.2).
the caster wheel axle must be readjusted
(see chapter 22.4).
the brakes must be readjusted (see
chapter 25).
Extreme settings, such as drive wheels
mounted far to the front is only permitted for
users with advanced wheelchair skills that are
able to exercise an active weight shift to the
front.
In order to minimise the risk of tipping to
the rear, we recommend the use of anti-tipping
supports, even with anti-tipping device
settings.
18 Back system
Avoid falling into the seating and back
padding as the risk of an adjustment, falling or
a defect is increased significantly.
18.1 Backrest angle
18.1.1 Notes on the sitting posture
For a good sitting posture, we recommend
positioning the backrest vertical to the ground,
where possible.
With low backrest with adaptable belt cover
due to a disability, under certain
circumstances, it may also be a benefit for a
good sitting stability to slightly tilt the backrest
to the front and to slacken the top belt of the
M6 fixing screws
Operating instructions SPEEDY 4all & 4you & 4teen
17
back padding so that the slack in the upper
area is greater (see chapter 18.2).
The adjustment possibility of the backrest
angle supports active sitting and ensures for
flexibility of the wheelchair user. An example in
the following:
if the angle of the seat has been changed
(see chapter 17.2), the angle of the
backrest can be respectively readjusted.
When driving on slopes and when
transporting baggage (e.g., backpacks) on
the backrest, the centre of gravity shifts
more to the rear and the risk of tipping
increases. Then this can be counteract ed
by a respective angle adjustment of the
backrest to the front.
For comfortable sitting, the backrest can
be locked in the position furthest to the
back (defined by stop pins, see chapter
18.1.2) so that the backrest is tilted slightly
to the rear.
18.1.2 Adjustment range
On equipment of the product with a backrest
with angle adjustment, the inclination of the
backrest can be locked in 7 positions.
For safety reasons, the adjustment range of
the backrest is limited by a stop pin when
supplied. The stop pin allows a maximum
inclination of 7° to the rear from a vertical
position.
Figure 17: Stop pin
Observe that the centre of gravity is
shifted further to the rear by the enlargement of
the angle between the backrest and the seat
system and thus, the tipping point of the
product is reached much sooner.
18.1.3 Adjusting the backrest angle
To adjust the backrest angle, relieve this
(otherwise there is a risk of tipping) and then
loosen the locking pin that engage in the
locking holes of the side section on the left and
right. For this purpose, grasp under the seat
upholstery and in the middle, pull the cord to
the front that is linked to the locking pin.

Figure 20: Cord for operating the locking pin and
thus for adjusting the angle of the backrest
If you have released both locking pins by
pulling on the cord, you can adjust the backrest
as desired and re-engage it by letting go of the
cord. In doing so, before applying load again,
make sure that both locking pins have
engaged safely into the desired locking holes
(the same position on the right and left).
Depending on the adjustment of the
backrest angle, check the tight engagement of
the backrest via the locking pins.
18.2 Adjustable back padding & their
adjustment options
The back system "Adjustable back padding"
comprises one belt system and one back
upholstery. The slack of the backrest can be
adapted to the individual requirements via the
belts with tensioning loops.
First remove the back upholstery that has been
covered over which has been attached using
hook-and-loop straps. The belt system located
underneath has been set in the factory that the
top and the bottom belts have a slack of
approx. 2 cm. The middle belt has been pulled
tight for a good lumbar support.
Figure 21: Belt system of the adaptable back
padding with three belts
For adjusting the slack of the belt system,
the tensioning loops of the respective belt are
held on their strap and pulled strongly to the
right until the belt slackens.
Figure 22: Pull the tensioning loop to the right on its
strap
Figure 23: Tensioning loop open completely
Now the belt can be pulled tight for setting a
small slack or loosened for a large slack (Fig.
24 and 25). The belt does not have to be
threaded out of the tensioning loops for this.

18.3 Ergonomic back shell & its setting
options
The back system "Ergonomic back shell"
comprises an aluminium shell, Velcro crossstraps and a back padding.
There is already a slack integrated in the back
shell due to the shape of the back shell.
Nothing can be adjusted here.
However, lumbar support can be achieved
using three Velcro cross-straps. For this
purpose, the back padding is removed over the
Velcro straps. Now the cross-straps can be
tensioned to the respective individual
requirements by undoing and reapplying the
Velcro strap system.
Figure 38: Ergonomic back shell (view from behind)
Figure 39: Ergonomic back shell without back
padding with Velcro cross-straps
Then mount the back upholstery using the
Velcro straps.
19 Seat system
Avoid falling into the seating and back
padding as the risk of an adjustment, falling or
a defect is increased significantly.
The seat system generally either comprises a
spring suspended Body Contour seat
upholstery or an open belt system.
With a seating system from Body Contour
seat upholstery, there is no adjustment
option. The Body Contour seat upholstery has
a springing effect and when seating,
automatically forms a slack.
Figure 40: Body Contour seat upholstery
The open belt system can be subsequently
adjusted. The slack of the seating surface can
be changed using fleece hook-and-loop straps.

seat cushion prevents lower abdomens from
undercooling and protects against dirt and
wetness. Moreover, the seat cushion also
ensures for equal pressure distribution.

20.3 Adjusting the clothing guard
position
After adjusting the drive wheel position, an
adaptation of the clothing guard position to the
wheel arch is also necessary.
For adapting the clothing guard position, on
each of the clothing protection guards, loosen
the two or four M5 fixing screws (AF 3 mm)
from the clothing guard mount.
Figure 57: Clothing guard mount

We recommend: The spoke guard
prevents hands and fingers entering and being
trapped in the wheels when riding. The risk of
injury is thus minimised.

By pressing the locking knob in the middle of
the wheel axle with your thumb, the wheels
can then be removed.
When attaching the drive wheels, the locking
knobs must be pressed and the drive wheels
with quick-release axle must be inserted in the
drive wheel bearings. Special attention should
be paid here to ensure that the knob springs
out again after attaching the wheel as
otherwise it is not secured. You will know that if

21.2 Checking and adjusting the wheel
tracking of the drive wheel
Well adjusted wheel tracking significantly
improves the easy running characteristics of
the product. To check the tracking, proceed as
follows:
Position the product on a flat surface and apply
the parking brake on both sides.
Measure the axle heights (from the ground to
the drive wheel axle) and write this dimension
onto both tyres at front and back.
Figure 66: Drawing the axle height on the front and
back of both tyres
Afterwards measure the distance between the
drive wheels front and back at the height of
the axles along the markers. Ideally, the
distance between the two drive wheels should
be the same size at the front and back. In
general it can be said that the distance
between the drive wheels at the front may not
be larger than at the back. Apart from that, the
distance at the back may not be more than
5 mm larger that at the front. If this is not the
case, the wheel tracking needs to be
corrected.
Figure 67: Distance between the markers on the
tyres (at axle height), back
To adjust the track proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the aluminium locking nuts on both
sides (AF 41 mm).
Figure 68: Drive wheel bushing and aluminium,
locking nut, product view from behind
2. Correctly adjust the track by turning the
drive wheel bushing (AF 22 mm). Here it
can be said that: If you turn the drive wheel
bushing in the direction of travel, the track
at the front will become more narrow.
When turning against the direction of
travel, the behaviour is exactly the
opposite.
3. Make sure that the distance at the front to
the frame on the right and left is the same.

4. Measure the distance between the drive
wheels at the front and back again at the
axle height (along the markers) so that the
distance between the rive wheels is not
any larger at the front than at the back.
Apart from that, the distance at the back
may not be more than 5 mm larger that at
the front.
Figure 70: Distance between the markers on the
tyres (at axle height), back
5. If all the distances are correct, then use an
open-ended spanner (AF 22 mm) to hold
the running wheel bushing in position and
tighten the aluminium locking nut (AF 41
mm) with a tightening torque of 70 Nm.
21.3 Wheel camber
The wheel camber increases the lateral
stability of the product but also increases the
overall width of the product.
The wheel camber will be carried out according
to the order and can be subsequently changed
by replacing the drive wheel bearings (with
integrated wheel camber). If you want to make
a change to the wheel camber, please contact
your dealer or PRO ACTIV.
21.4 Air pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressure at regular
intervals as well as after extreme influence of
temperature. The maximum and if applicable,
minimum tyre pressure is printed on the side of
the tyre.
If the tyre pressure is too low, then optimal
functionality of the knee lever brake is not
ensured. Apart from that, there is an increased
risk of a flat tyre.
The tyre pressure increase with the
temperature. If the pressure is too high, the
tyre may burst. For this reason, product tyres
may not be exposed to unusually high
temperatures such as in a sauna or under
glass in the summer.

When attaching the caster wheel, proceed as
described above in reverse order. Please
make sure that the spacers on the right and left
on the caster wheel are re-installed in the
caster fork before assembly. The tightening
torque of the axle fixing screws (AF 4 mm) is 7
Nm. We recommend that you only use screws
with polymer dry locking coating. Screws
without polymer dry locking coating must be
secured with screw locking fluid.
22.2 Caster wheels flapping
Uncontrolled swivelling backwards and
forwards of the caster wheels around their
axes on the caster fork (while moving) is called
"fluttering".
If the caster wheels start fluttering, then
immediately reduce the speed you are
travelling at to avoid the caster wheels
jamming sideways so as to avoid the risk of
falling over.
The speed limit at which a caster wheel can
start fluttering, reduces with:
increasing size of the caster wheels
increase weight of the caster wheels
falling load on the caster wheels
decreasing caster length of caster wheels
The following options are available to
counteract caster fluttering:
Fluttering can be reduced by reducing the
caster wheel diameter. This means
installing a small caster wheel in a different
wheel position in the caster wheel fork
(seat height thus remains the same) would
Aluminium axle with
hexagon socket
Spacer
M6 axle fixing screws

31
be one way of reducing fluttering.
However, please note that using a smaller
caster wheel makes it more difficult to
overcome obstacles and makes tipping
necessary more often. The smaller the
caster wheel is, the more driving skill is
required.
Another way to reduce fluttering would for
example be to use a light caster wheel with
the same diameter or, as described above,
with a smaller diameter.
Figure 79: Caster length
It would also be possible to increase the
caster length. The caster length is the
distance between the rotary axle of the
caster wheel fork projected onto the floor
and the wheel contact point. The wheel
contact point of the caster wheel trails
behind the rotary axle as it were. The
caster length has a stabilizing effect on
moving in a straight line. Increasing the
caster length can be attained by mounting
the caster wheel in a different wheel
position on the caster wheel fork (the in
doing so, the front seat height or the angel
of the seat changes, see chapter 17.2).
Another option would be to tilt the caster
wheel axle (see chapter 22.4) from the
vertical position in the lower area in the
direction of travel. The inclination of the
caster wheel axle can be adjusted up to
approx. 4 mm over the length of the caster
wheel bearing block from the vertical
position. This increases the castor length
and the tendency to vibrate reduces.
Figure 80: Increased castor length via the inclination
of the caster wheel for rotary axle
22.3 Replacing the caster wheel forks
A distinction needs to be made between the
caster wheel forks with a screwed axle and
those with a quick-release axle.

22.3.1 Caster fork with screwed axle
To remove the caster fork with screwed
axle, first the aluminium cap on the caster
wheel bearing block must be removed. In order
to release the cap, you can run under the cap
using a commercially available cutter knife and
lift slightly at several points. Then the M12 nut
(AF 19 mm (socket)) is undone. Now the
caster wheel for rotary axle can be pulled out
from under the caster wheel bearing block.
Figure 81: Aluminium cap
Figure 82: Aluminium cap removed and M12 nut
visible
To assemble the caster fork with screwed
axle, this is inserted into the caster wheel
bearing block with the caster wheel for rotary
axle. Then the M12 nut (AF 19 mm) is
tightened hand tight (so that the caster fork can
turn slightly in the caster wheel bearing block)
and secured using screw locking fluid. Then
the aluminium cap is pressed back onto the
caster wheel bearing block.
22.3.2 Caster forks with quick-release axle
The caster wheel fork with a quick release
axle is removed by pressing the locking knob
between the caster wheel and the inside of the
caster wheel fork. Grasp around the caster fork
and press the locking knob with your thumb.
The caster wheel fork can now be pulled out.
Figure 83: Caster wheel fork with quick release axle
and locking knob
During the assembly of the caster forks with
quick-release axle, keep pressing the locking
knob and insert the caster wheel for rotary axle
back into the caster wheel bearing block.
When doing this, special attention should be
paid to ensure that the locking knob springs
out again after attaching the wheel as
otherwise the wheels are not secure. You will
know that if you can see the index groove (Fig.
65).
22.4 Setting the caster wheel for rotary
axle
For good properties for steering and driving
straight ahead of the product, the caster wheel
for rotary axle should be adjusted vertically to
the level ground.
Settings on the caster wheel for rotary axles
could be necessary for the following reasons:
the tipping point and / or sitting heights
have been changed.
the caster wheel axle no longer stands
vertically due to a fall or an impact.
The flattering of the caster wheels should
be reduced.

For setting the caster wheels for rotary axle,
the product should be standing on a level
surface and the wheel track of the drive wheels
must have already been set (see chapter
21.2).
Now check if the caster wheels for rotary ax les
are standing vertically to the level ground. For
this purpose, place an angle with height
adjustable slider on the front edge of the caster
wheel bearing blocks. The slider should be
aligned to the middle of the caster wheel
bearing block.
If the front edge of the caster wheel
bearing block is standing vertically to the level
ground then the caster wheels for rotary axles
is also doing this.
Observe that the front edges of the caster
wheel bearing blocks are slightly rounded.
Thus, the distance above and below between
the slider of the angle and the front edge of the
caster wheel bearing blocks must be the same
size.
Figure 84: Checking and setting the caster wheels
for rotary axles
The angle with slider can be ordered from
PRO ACTIV (order number: 8000 901 000).
If the front edges of the caster wheel bearing
blocks are not standing vertical to the level
ground, the settings must be adjusted. First
adjust the right caster wheel bearing block,
then the left one, and finally check the right
side again. Then proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the M5 stud bolt (AF 2.5 mm).
Figure 85: M5 stud bolt
2. Undo the M6 fixing screws (AF 5 mm)
slightly on the frame inner side.
Figure 86: M6 fixing screws on the frame inner side

5. Tighten the M6 fixing screws (AF 5 mm) on
the frame outer and
inner side back to a tightening torque of
10 Nm (do not forget the M6 washer
DIN134!) and check the vertical setting
again.
6. Screw the M5 stub bolt (AF 2.5 mm) back
in so that this rests on the M& fixing screw.
23 Foot rests
Measures need to be taken to ensure
there is sufficient ground clearance under the
footrest. Experience shows that this should not
be less than 4 cm. This must be observed for
the angle adjustment of the footplate and when
setting the lower leg length.
23.1 Angle adjustment of the footplate
The angle of the footplate can be set by
undoing the M6 fastening clamp screws
(AF 5 mm) on the bottom side of the footrest.
When the angle adjustment is completed,
tighten the M6 fastening clamp screws
(AF 5 mm) again to maximum 5 Nm. This
tightening torque should not be exceeded as
higher tightening torques can damage the
clamp.

With a product frame that has a v shape,
due to the resulting tensioning of the footrest
support tubes in the footrest support plate from
the longitudinal setting, it is necessary to open
the M6 fastening clamp screws (AF 5 mm)
again on the footrest support tubes. View the
procedure in chapter 23.1.

For the longitudinal setting of the footrest
support tubes or adaptation to the lower leg
length, the M6 fixing screws (AF 4 mm) must
be undone on both sides. Fix the support tubes
to the inlets using the M6 fixing screws (AF
4 mm) that have 3 boreholes that serve the
setting of the lower leg length. Only an
extension of the lower leg length is possible as
the support tube is always fixed in the top hole
of the inlet.

24 Anti-tippers
To reduce the risk of tipping backwards
unintentionally to a minimum, anti-tippers are
available as accessories. The anti-tippers are
adapted to the axle tube via anti-tipping
supports and can be swivelled under the frame
using a spring system.
Figure 111: Anti-tipping support
24.1 Operating and passive position
To overcome an obstacle, the anti-tipping
support must be swivelled from the operating
to the passive position beforehand so that this
does not knock against the obstacle.

To move the anti-tipping support into the
operating position, press the anti-tipping bar
downwards and swivel this to the rear. Make
sure that the anti-tipping support is engaged
correctly again. This is visible when the
footrest pins have engaged in the
corresponding recess of the anti-tipping
supports from the one side and the M6 fixing
screws from the other side.
An accompanying person can also press
the anti-tipping support downwards by stepping
on the footrest pins and then swivelling into the

Figure 117: Overview of terms
To remove the anti-tippers, the M5 fixing
screws (AF 3 mm) are screwed out of the
spring retention cap and at the same time, the
cord that is fixed to the tension spring is
retained. Now the anti-tipping bars can be
removed from the anti-tipping support
downwards. The spring retention cap must
also be removed. In order to prevent loosing
the M5 fixing screw, this is screwed back into
the spring retention cap.
To install the anti-tippers, the anti-tipping bar
is inserted into the anti-tipping support from
underneath and pulled upwards using the cord.
In doing so, the M6 fixing screw must engage
on the side of the footrest pin and on the other
side, in the recess of the anti-tipping support.

Now the anti-tippers are held at the bottom on
the anti-tipping bar in this position and the
spring retention cap is put onto the anti-tipping
support (loosen the M5 fixing screw on the
spring retention cap first in case this have been
screwed in not to loose it) so that the cord
protrudes from the top.
Figure 119: Spring retention cap placed on the antitipping support, cord pulled through upwards and

Finally, the cord is pulled through so strongly
until the tension spring appears through the top
from the spring retention cap (this must be held
tight in the process). At the same time, the M5
fixing screw (AF 3 mm) is screwed back into
the spring retention cap and through the end
eyelet of the tension spring. The M5 fixing
screw (AF 3 mm) must be secured using screw
locking fluid.

This must be removed first for the height
adjustment of the anti-tipping support (see
chapter 24.2). Then the footrest pin is removed
on which the tension spring is secured using
the M6 fixing screw (AF 4 mm). When
loosening the M6 fixing screw, the footstep bolt
must be retained using a pliers (the footstep
pin must be protected if this is retained using a

There is an inlet within the anti-tipping bar that
must be adjusted to the new height position.
Where possible, the inlet should be positioned
in the anti-tipping bar as low as possible. A
screwdriver could be used for the positioning of
the inlets, for example.
Figure 124: Inlet of the anti-tipping bar and the
screwdriver
Now the tension spring is positioned in the inlet
so that the end eyes of the tension spring are
positioned precisely over the borehole in which
the M6 fixing screw shall then be screwed in
to. Once the inlet and the tension spring have
been positioned correctly, the M6 fixing screw
(with both radius discs and the footrest pin)
(AF 4 mm) is crewed into the new height
position through the inlet and the end eyelet of
the tension spring.
Finally, reattach the anti-tipping support to the
product as described in chapter 24.2.
The anti-tipping support has been
designed exclusively to minimize the risk of
tipping over backwards. It is not suitable for
reducing the risk of tipping forwards or to the
side. There is no safety equipment on offer for
minimizing these risks. For this reason,
handling these risks need to be learnt in
cooperation with your therapists and doctors.
Before using the product, after every load
on the anti-tippers and after every adjustment
to the product, make sure that the anti-tippers
are fully functional. In this case, it must not be
possible to swivel the anti-tippers to the side
when in operating position without having to
unlock them first. Moreover, the lower edge of
the anti-tipper wheels may not be any more
than 5 cm from the ground. If a larger gap is
required or necessary, then you need to work
with your therapists and doctors to practice
and learn to handle the increased risk of
tipping.

If the functionality of the anti-tippers
should no longer be given or if you are in any
doubt about the serviceability, then have it
checked by your specialist retailer and have it
repaired before any further use. Otherwise
there is an increased risk or falling of getting
injured.
25 Brakes
25.1 Knee lever brake
25.1.1 Opening and closing the brake
The knee lever brake can be equipped with
different brake levers, such as, e.g., standard
brake lever, long brake lever and flip-down
brake handle. The brake lever can be mounted
in the standard position, or low. However, the
operation is the same with all brake levers.
Figure 125: Brake system push to lock with
standard brake handle
Closing the brake is carried out by pressing
the brake lever down. In the closed position,the
braking bolt presses the tyre in by approx. 4
mm.
Figure 126: Brake open, closing is carried out by
pressing the brake lever down
Figure 127: Brake closed
Please note that the knee lever brake is a
parking brake which may only be applied when
the product is at a standstill. This is not a
service brake which is suitable for reducing
speed.
To open the brake pull the brake lever back
up. In the open position, the distance between
the braking bolt and the tyre is approx. 2 to
max. 4 mm.
25.1.2 Setting the brake
Settings on the brake could be necessary for
the following reasons:
You have changed the tyre or the tyre
pressure.
You have changed the wheel tracking of
the drive wheels.
The brake is pulling unevenly or
insufficiently after extended use.
To adjust the knee lever brake, proceed as
follows on both sides:
1. Undo the M5 fixing screws (AF 4 mm)
slightly so that the knee lever brake can be
pushed onto the brake holding rail.

2. Position the open brake on the brake
holding rail so that there is 3 mm clearance
between the brake bolt and tyre up to a
maximum of 4 mm.
Figure 129: Distance between brake bolt and tyre
from 3 mm to maximum 4 mm, with opened brake
3. Tighten the M5 fixing screws (AF 4 mm)
again to 4 Nm.
4. Then check the correct setting of the
brakes: When the brake is closed,the
braking bolt presses the tyre in by approx.
4 mm. When the brake is not applied, the
brake bolt may not drag along the tyre.
5. The actuating force of the brake lever ca n
be adjusted via the M5 joint screws. For
this purpose, you need a slotted
screwdriver and an open-ended spanner
(AF 8 mm). The screw is retained at the
front with the slotted screwdriver and the
open-ended spanner (AF 8 mm) is used to
either screw tight or to loosen a little. An
important point here is that both joint
screws must be tightened equally as this
leads to a long-lasting uniform actuating
force of the brake lever.
Figure 130: M5 joint screws for setting the actuating
force of the brake lever
Generally, the braking bolt is mounted in
the standard position (see following figure).
The assembly of the braking bolt in the other
possible position (see following figure) may be
necessary after the adjustment of the drive
wheels.

Figure 154: Safety push handles with infinite height
adjustment
For adjusting the height of the push handles,
open the clamp lever by turning counterclockwise (a half to a complete rotation). Then
the height of the push handles can adjusted.
The height can be infinitely adjusted. We
recommend adjusting both push handles to the
same height. Once the desired height is set,
hold the push handles in this position and then
close the clamp lever again clockwise with a
half to complete rotation.
If the clamp lever knocks against the frame
when turning the push handle, you have the
option of pulling the clamp lever out vertically
to the rotating axis and to let go into another
angled position via the integrated serration,
and keep on turning. This also permits the
position of the clamping lever to be aligned to
the back tube after performing the height
setting ao that this does not protrude over the
back tube to the side.

26.6 Safety instructions
After every adjustment or after
reattachment following removal, check that the
push handles are firmly attached in position.
Due to environmental effects, it is possible
that the properties and therefore secure
attachment of the push handle covers may
change detrimentally. For this reason, it is
important to check the handles are tightly fitted
and fixed in position prior to use. If this should
no longer be the case, then the push handles
may not be used until they have been fixed
.
27 Transport restraint system
27.1 Standard specifications

Part 2: Restraint systems; concepts,
requirements, testing) and ISO 10542-2
(Technical systems and aids for disabled or
handicapped persons. Wheelchair tiedown and
occupant-restraint systems).
PRO ACTIV offers person and wheelchair
restraint systems (so-called transport restraint
systems) with new orders, but also for
retrofitting. In the following, we shall inform you
about the use and application of this retention
system when using the product as a seat in a
motor vehicle.
27.2 Wheelchair tiedown and
occupant-restraint systems
With the wheelchair restraint system, elements
are designated that are used to secure the
wheelchair in the vehicle. Persons are secured
using components of the person retention
system (PRS). A comprehensive syst em for
the optimum transportation of the wheelchair in
the motor vehicle comprises both components.
These are matched to one-another so that their
forces are not transferred to another system.
Elements of the wheelchair restraint system
include:
Transport restraint connection on the rear
frame: These frame-welded parts are used
to take on the hip strap as well as for fixing
the buckle that joins the rear retractor with
the vehicle.

27.3 Safety and handling instructions
Basically, all passengers must be seated on a
standard vehicle seat with three-point seat belt.
This is the safest possibility of transportation. If
this cannot be implemented, the wheelchair as
well as the passenger must be secured. The
use of this retention system must be observed
in the following guidelines and safety
instructions.
The wheelchair must only be transported
in the direction of travel of the vehicle.
Figure 165: Incorrect positioning of the wheelchair in
the vehicle
Figure 166: Correct positioning of the wheelchair in
the vehicle
Both rear belts (retractors) must be arranged
symmetrically and anchored horizontally to the
vehicle floor at a maximum angle of 45°. Both
front belts must also be arranged
symmetrically and must not exceed a
maximum angle of 60° to the horizontal
position. The retractors for the front and rear
must not be swapped.

Figure 168: Run of the retractors at the front and
rear with maximum tensioning angle and connecting
points (view from the back)
The hip belt must rest tight against the body
over the hip bone. The belt must not be twisted
and not run over the person's stomach. The
diagonal shoulder belt must run in the middle
over the collarbone, ave sufficient space to the
neck and rest tightly against the person's body.
The belts must not be kept away from the
person's body by parts of the wheelchair
(armrests, side sections, clothing guard, etc.).
Figure 169: Run of the hip and diagonal belt with the
respective connecting points
With backrests that can be inclined, this must
be set at 90° to the seating system to ensure
the person sits upright.
The height and distance of the head restraint
to the head must be set so that the centre of
gravity of the upright head is in the middle of
the head restraint and the distance between
the head and head restraint must be kept as
little as possible (max. 2-3 cm).

twisted and not run crossed-over.
Operating instructions SPEEDY 4all & 4you & 4teen
56
For belt systems (hip, diagonal shoulder
belt, retractors), the instructions for use of the
respective manufacturer must be observed.
When transporting, the brakes of the
product must be applied.
Loose parts of the wheelchair
(Therapeutic table, crutches, etc.) must be
removed before travelling.
Wheelchairs and restraint systems that
have been exposed to an impact must be
replaced. They are no longer allowed to be
used as a seat in motor vehicles.
28 Storage
When being stored, the product should be kept
in a dry environment and covered up where
possible.
To avoid corrosion and therefore malfunctions
or breakages of components, the product may
not be exposed to any aggressive
environmental influences (salt in particular).
29 Transport
When loading or transporting, the product can
be held on the frame and on the back cross
bar.
The transportation of persons in a
wheelchair or other persons in the product in
motor vehicles when using the specified
equipment is only permitted when observing
chapter 27. In this case, observe the versions
in chapter 27.
To reduce the weight, individual
components, such as the caster wheel fork s
with caster wheels and the drive wheels can be
removed for loading and stored separately.
The product and all associated components
must be secured during transport so that they
are not damaged (e.g. by falling over) and do
not become a hazard to persons or other
products.
If the product user needs to be
transported over an obstacle, such as a step,
and there are suitable facilities such as a ramp
or a lift available, then these should be used. If
such facilities are not available, then the
obstacle is to be overcome by being carried by
two helpers. When carrying the product, it may
not be lifted by the side sections, the drive
wheels or the footrests. We recommend
holding the product on the frame and back
cross bar.
30 Malfunctions
In the event of any malfunctions which cannot
be solved by yourself based on the operating
instructions included in the scope of delivery,
please contact your specialist retailer or
PRO ACTIV directly.
Malfunctions must be solved before any
further use or, if they occur during the journey,
this must be interrupted immediately.
31 Cleaning and care
Regular cleaning of the product is prescribed
to prevent the components becoming clogged
up due to dirt. In particular, the product should
be carefully cleaned after every major use, e.g.
summer or winter holidays.
To avoid corrosion and therefore malfunctions
or breakages of components, the product may
not be exposed to any aggressive
environmental influences. If this cannot be
avoided, the product should be cleaned
immediately after such use and moving parts
need to be greased. Regular cleaning prevents
corrosion and increased wear.
In case the product becomes wet when using,
dry it after use.
