powerpack installation
This wheelchair is suitable for some retrofit
powerpacks, which allow the device to be
controlled electronically. (See

Powerpacks are not required to use the
wheelchair. The mounting position will need
adapting to be suitable for both the user and the

used in line with the manufacturer’s instructions
for use.
