Quick Release Components
The transit wheelchair comes with a number of
components which can be easily removed
without tools for storage or transport. For all
parts in this section see the relevant description
and diagram:
Armrests
Remove the armrest by pushing in the button on
the armrest tubing (1) whilst lifting the armrest
up (2).
Because the armrest are detachable , DO NOT
lift the wheelchair by the armrests.
Using the Stepper Tube
Use the stepper tube to raise the front castors (when mounting a low kerb for
example). To use, push down on the stepper tube with your foot. DO NOT raise
the front castors by pushing down on the push handles as this could tip the
wheelchair.
To mount a low kerb. Approach the low kerb
head on. Then the assistant uses the stepper
tube to raise the front castors, and lowers the
front castors on the raised kerb. Finally the
assistant should push the wheelchair forward,
lifting it up slightly to mount the kerb if required.
To go down a low kerb. Line up the front
castors with the edge of the low kerb. The
assistant uses the stepper tube to raise the front
castors and tip the users back slightly. Keeping
the castors raised slowly move the wheelchair
forward and slowly lower it down the low kerb.
Warning: When going down a low kerb, the front castors must be raised to
prevent the user from falling forward. The above are only recommendations and
may not be suitable for all events.
