Service Manual
General
Introduction
This Service Manual contains all the technical information necessary for the
inspection, configuration or repair of a Küschall® wheelchair.
To maintain the necessary levels of safety and reliability, every wheelchair
must be thoroughly examined once a year.
Some aspects of the assembly and configuration of the wheelchair require
a high level of expertise. These assembly instructions therefore break the
various tasks down into 3 categories:
Requirement
Symbol
Easy – technical understanding required
Medium – technical knowledge required
Difficult – technical knowledge and expertise in
assembling wheelchairs required
The required tools and their respective sizes are listed above each instruc-
tion. The instructions include information on the torques with which the
respective screw connections must be tightened. Adhering to the given
torques requires the use of a torque spanner.

Fastening with hexagon socket bolts
Hexagon socket bolts are not designed to withstand an excessive applicati-
on of force. When tightening or undoing a hexagon socket bolt, force must
be applied to the nut wherever possible to avoid damaging the bolt.
Tightening and undoing
Turn the nut using an open-end spanner, or preferably a socket span-
ner, using the Allen key simply to stop the bolt turning.
Tightening and undoing when no nut is present
If a hexagon socket bolt is screwed directly into a thread, the bolt must be
tightened using the Allen key.
i
Ensure that the Allen key is of good quality
and not worn.
