2.4. Lock the side release buckles.

2.5. Bring the wheelchair from behind your pet and let your pet pass thru. Move the wheelchair 

       forward until your pet fits in the middle of the wheel chair.

2.6. Keep the SitGo function in the locked position when fitting your dog. Pull the chair up 

       behind the dog, tilt it forward, lift one leg, then the other to the rear harness, then lift 
       chair and attach the front harness.

Move forward from 

behind

Your pet should be 

facing this way

NOTE: 

Advanced users can load their pet into and out of the chair with the chair in the collapsed 

position, but this is not recommended for new users. The Sitgo function should remain locked for 

new users.
