preparing for use
These instructions should be read carefully before using the wheelchair.
This product does not have a service manual. The following parts should be
adjusted by a healthcare professional to suit each user’s requirements:
1.
Rear Wheels
Use the axle bracket to alter the horizontal position of rear wheels and the
vertical position of self-propel wheels. Remove the screws and nyloc nuts,
reposition, then reattach the fasteners and adjust brakes (below). Drive
DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd recommends approved service personnel do this.
2. Upholstery
This wheelchair features a cushioned seat and back, and a tension-
adjustable back canvas. To adjust the tension, remove the cushion and
backrest, then adjust the Velcro straps. Ensure straps are not too taut, as
this can damage the wheelchair.
3.
Brake Unit
Loosen the bolt heads with a 5mm hex key, sliding the brake unit along
the frame. Readjust the brakes if any rear wheels have been moved. Drive
DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd recommends approved service personnel do this.
4.
Armpad Position
Move the armpads back or forward by holding the buttons on either side.
5.

A risk assessment must also be performed to assess suitability of the device
for the user. This assessment should include, but not be limited to:
• Small adults (and children)
• Users (and attendants) who lack capacity
• Very active occupants
• Unauthorised access to the wheelchair
Independent users and attendants are responsible for determining that they
are both mentally and physically capable of using the wheelchair with
minimal risk of harm.
Maximum occupant mass
– Exceeding the limit marked on your
device can damage the product and put users at risk of harm.
Remove all packaging and stand the wheelchair on the ground. Separate the
arm rests to open the wheelchair, then push down firmly. Once the seat is
secure, the backrest is upright and the footrests are attached (see overleaf),
the wheelchair is ready for use.
