Transporting the Wheelchair
To transport the wheelchair, first fold up the wheelchair
and fold down the back as previously described. Then
remove the legrests by pushing the chrome lever on the
legrests whilst pulling the legrest away from the chair. This
operation should unlock the legrest and allow it to be
removed by lifting up on the legrest.
The Travel Chair comes with an optional easy-to-carry bag.
Put the wheelchair and two legrests in the bag. Ensure that
the latest health and safety practice is used for carrying and
lifting items.

Using the Stepper Tube
Use the stepper tube to raise the front castors (when
mounting a kerb for example).
!
Warning:
Do not raise the front castors by pushing down
on the push handles as this could result in
damage to the wheelchair.
To mount a kerb. Approach the kerb head on. Then the
attendant uses the stepper tube to raise the front castors,
and lowers the front castors on the raised kerb. Finally the
attendant should push the wheelchair forward, lifting it up
slightly to mount the kerb if required.
