Mount the receiver tube with the two screws (Fig. 1, item 1) on the inner side of
the posterior frame part. Tighten the nuts (Fig. 1, item 2) with a torque of 9 Nm.
Insert the expansion spring (Fig. 2, item 4) with the close eyelet into the receiver
tube. When the receiver tube‘s bore hole and the eyelet hole are flush, insert the
sleeve (Fig. 2, item 3). Secure the sleeve with the screw (Fig. 3, item 7). Tighten
the nut (Fig. 3, item 8) with a torque of 7 Nm.
Hook a cord (Fig. 3, item 10) into the lower eyelet of the expansion spring and
push the anti-tipper tube (Fig. 2, item 6) over the cord and expansion spring into
the receiver tube.
Pull at the cord (Fig. 3, item 10) until the expansion spring extends from the anti-
tipper tube (Fig. 2, item 6).
Secure the expansion spring using a screwdriver (Fig. 4, item 11) and remove the
cord. Put the spring holder (Fig. 4, item 12) onto the lower eyelet of the expansion
spring. Remove the screwdriver and the eyelet of the expansion spring will lock in
place.
Mounting the Anti-tipper
81
The anti-tipper can now be adjusted to the position of your rear wheel. After the screw connection
has been loosened, the anti-tipper can be horizontally and vertically adjusted.
The anti-tipper wheel must at least completely extend from the rear wheel to the back, and the
distance between the wheel and ground should not exceed 5 cm maximum (Fig. 13). Find the
appropriate position with the assistance of a helper!
Make sure to firmly retighten all screws and nuts after making adjustments.
First remove the screw (Fig. 77, item a) from the footrest bar. To change the lower leg length,
you can now choose one of the upper or lower threaded holes in the footrest bar and screw
together the two components. Depending on the adjustment, it may be necessary to remove one
or several of the spacer sleeves (Fig. 77, item b).
Ensure to firmly re-tighten all screws and nuts after making adjustments.
AttachingtheSafetyLapBeltThe attachment point
for the safety lap belt is in the upper most hole on
each side of the rear frame.

By loosening the screw at the footrest bar (Fig. 78), the footplate can be adjusted according to
your specific lower leg length and to the seat cushion you use.
There are five threaded holes in the footrest bar, it therefore may be necessary to
completely remove the screw and use another hole to achieve the desired footrest
height.
Ensure to firmly re-tighten all screws and nuts after making adjustments.
The legrests can be adjusted within the range from 15° to 90°. Pull the footrests upward until
they have reached the desired position. The legrests automatically lock in place. To reposition the
legrests relieve the load on the footrests and press the release lever (Fig. 79, item a) downward
to lower the legrests. Bring the legrests to the desired position.
Make sure to always secure the legrests with your hand against uncontrolled
falling downward when lowering it.

13 Maintenance, Cleaning, Care
Your Avantgarde wheelchair has been CE marked. The manufacturer herewith guarantees that
this medical product as a whole conforms to the requirements of the European Directive for
Medical Products 93/42/EEC.
On principle, the function of the wheelchair and especially of the brakes must be checked before
each use. Safety nuts should be used only once. If these nuts have been loosened several times,
they must be replaced. Should any defects become apparent, please contact your authorized
dealer immediately to eliminate them. This is particularly required, when you detect that the driving
behavior changes or that the wheelchair becomes unstable.
We also recommend that you have the wheelchair serviced every 12 months by your Otto Bock
approved dealer. The functions listed in the following table must be checked by the user at the
indicated intervals. Failure to carry out these simple checks may lead to problems arising that
could invalidate the warranty.

Should any defects become obvious, please contact your authorized dealer to rectify them.
We also recommend you to have your wheelchair serviced by your authorized dealer every three
months.
Cleaning
To clean your wheelchair, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
Certain components can be easily maintained by yourself so as to ensure smooth operation of
your wheelchair:
• Hair and/or dirt particles may accumulate between the caster wheel and fork, this can
restrict the caster wheels from rotating smoothly. Thoroughly clean between the fork and
caster wheels/axle using a soft cloth and if required a mild detergent.
• The rear wheels and caster wheels can be supplied as a quick-release axle system.
To keep this system operational, ensure no dirt/grit adheres to the quick-release axle or
axle housing. Lightly lubricate the quick-release axle regularly with resin-free sewing
machine oil.
• If your wheelchair gets wet, towel dry it as soon as possible.
• Do not use your wheelchair in salt water, as sand, salt and/or other particles will cause
corrosion and cause damage to wheel bearings.
• Check the tightness of all screw connections regularly. If any screw connection persists in
becoming loose, consult your authorized dealer immediately!
85
14 Changing Tires
We recommend that you always carry an air pump and tire repair kit for emergencies. As an
alternative, consider keeping a spray can of hardening foam (available from local bicycle shops)
to fill your tire in case of punctures.
If a tire becomes flat, use the appropriate tools to carefully remove the tire from the
rim.
Ensure you do not damage the rim and/or the inner tube.
86
Repair the inner tube according to the directions in the repair kit, or replace the
old inner tube with a new one.
Before re-mounting the tire inspect the inner rim surface of the wheel and the
inside of the tire for any object that may have caused the puncture.
Ensure the rim bands are not damaged, as they protect the inner tube from being
damaged by the ends of the spokes.
Remove dust cap and place the protective rim band over the valve of the inner
tube, and insert the valve through the rim. Lightly screw on the valve nut if there
is one. Now fit the rim band centrally around the wheel rim, ensuring that all the
spoke ends are covered.
Insert the wall of the tire over the edge of the wheel rim adjacent to the valve (hint:
lightly push up the valve to assist tire fitting and prevent inner tube from being
pinched between tire and wheel rim). Inflate the inner tube with a small amount of
air and continue to insert the inner tube into the tire.
Check the inner tube for folds. If folds are present, release some air. Now working
away from the valve, work the tire wall over the wheel rim until it is fully fitted onto
the wheel.

Mounting Tires
87
Inating
Check both sides of the wheel to ensure that the tire is seated correctly and fully on the rim.
Push the valve back up slightly into the tire then pull it out again so the tire is well-seated in the
valve area.
Inflate the tire with enough air so that it can be pressed in easily with your thumb. Ensure the tire
is centered on the rim before continuing. If not, let some air out and realign the tire. Inflate the
tire to the pressure indicated on the side wall, then re-fit and tighten the dust cap.

If the adapter for large anterior seat heights is used, all values + 35 mm.
Between the front and rear axle position, the axle can be adjusted horizontally in 6 positions (A to F). Position A, allows a passive center of
gravity, whilst in position F, the most active center of gravity is reached. Without indication of the desired rear wheel position, it will be factory-
mounted in position C/7.
Note:
The values indicated are measurements which have been theoretically determined, and not all adjustment possibilities can be used for all
wheelchair models. Further, the adjustment combinations are limited due to the sturdy frame geometry. We reserve the right to technical
alterations and deviations by 5%.
