Track width adjustment
The Sled is width-adjustable to fit most 4-wheel manual wheelchairs.
- Measure the wheelchair's track width using our setting calipers or another measuring device:
- Outside dimension of rear wheels closest to ground = dimension X
- Loosen the 2 handles* C located on the top of the equipment.
*Thehandles are 'indexed': by lifting the handle, it can be repositioned without affecting tightening or loosening.
- Enter the track width measured on the equipment chassis (dimension X).
- Vary the width of the frame to reach dimension X.
- Mark X at 2 points on the chassis to adjust alignment
- Tighten the handles as much as possible (manually).
- Optimum width adjustment is achieved when the outer flanks of the wheelchair wheels are positioned against the inner flanks of the frame, with no play (as shown in the photo opposite).
Adjusting wheel stops
Wheel stops must be adjusted to the diameter of the wheelchair's wheels. They must hold the wheel in its housing without any degree of freedom.
- Loosen the knobs A on the underside of the frame to release the stops.
- Adjust the stops B according to the diameter of your wheelchair's wheels so that the wheels are immobilized (without degrees of freedom), then tighten A manually to the maximum.
Loading the wheelchair
- The attendant presents the wheelchair with its back to the front of the equipment in preparation for docking.
- The attendant tips the wheelchair onto its rear wheels and boards the equipment.
- The wheelchair fits between the adjustable wheel stops.
Depending on experience and comfort, we recommend that you board your wheelchair with the help of 2 attendants (one at the back of the wheelchair, the other at the front), to ensure safe boarding.
Installing the clamping strap
To secure the wheelchair to the equipment, the Sled is fitted with a clamping strap (in red).
- Install the bridle strap
- Pass the 2 strap strands over the tubular part of the wheelchair, under the seat, as shown (Fig. 1.1).
- Pass the 'loopless' strand through the rear loop of the Sled and then through the strap loop (Fig.1.1).
- Tension the strap by pulling the strand downwards (Fig. 1.1).
- Tie the remaining slack carefully so that it does not impede the boat's progress (Fig. 1.2).

- Check that the strap is tight, and that the wheelchair is now firmly secured to the equipment.
When working, check regularly that the bridle strap is always taut.
Installation of the disabled person
It's important to be well supported in the wheelchair, so you can enjoy the experience 100%, in a safe environment. We strongly recommend the use of a safety harness. The one we offer is easy to use, adjustable and safe.
Disembarking the wheelchair
- Secure the boat.
- Remove the clamping strap.
- The attendant lifts the wheelchair by its handles to disengage it from the stops.
