03 SETTING UP THE WHEELCHAIR

3.1  Unfolding the wheelchair

1. 

 Stand in front of the wheelchair, hold on to 

the side tubes at the front and push them 

apart. (1, Fig. 2).

2. 

 Press one of the seat pads down with the 

palm of your hand in the front area (2, 

Fig.2) until the wheelchair is fully unfolded.

3. 

 Lock the slide pin (see 4.11)

    

  

  WARNING

Risk of trapping!

When folding and unfolding your wheelchair, 

pay attention to your fingers and only grip the

 The flap of the back pad can be attached at 

the rear side of the seat cushion by fastening 
the Velcro. Thus the gap between backrest 

and seat cushion can be closed. (1, Fig. 3).
