5.3 Folding the wheelchair for transportation

FOLDING OF WHEELCHAIR 

- Tilt the seat unit to its most forward position. 

- Remove the armrests and any accessories such as thoracic support and 

pommel, as well as cushions. 

- Remove the leg rests (optional). 

- Grasp the push bar with one hand and pull the locking pin, (1 in Figure 

41). The gas spring (2) will then drop down from the mount (3) and the 

back can be folded forward against the seat, see Figure 42. 

- Fold the push bar down against the back.

- The driving wheels may be removed to make the wheelchair smaller.

REASSEMBLY AFTER FOLDING 

- Fold the push bar up.

- Raise the back. 

- Pull the locking pin (1), and fit the gas spring in the mount.

- Release the locking pin and see that it passes through the gas spring 

mounting hole and both plates of the bracket (3 in Figure 41). 

CHECKLIST AFTER TRANSPORTATION:

- Make sure the locking pin (1) goes completely through the bracket, see 

Figure 39.

- Check that the wheels are securely fastened.

- Make sure the tip protectors are positioned correctly.

- Check the most important functions; brakes, seat tilt, and back recline.

- If the pin is not properly mounted, the bracket can break and the user 

can be suddenly tipped backwards.

- If the seat width is set to the widest position there is a risk of the Flexi 

back straps wrapping around the seat plate when the chair is folded. 
Check for this and be careful when folding the wheelchair up again.

5.4 Transferring in and out of the wheelchair

Transferring in and out of the wheelchair can be done in different 
ways depending on the user’s ability to actively participate. It can be 
done with a lift, with help of one or two caregivers, or independently.

- The brakes must be locked before transferring in or out.

- Remove or fold in leg rests fully so they do not hinder. If 

needed foot plates can be folded up.

- Seat tilt and back recline may need to be adjusted per the 

particular needs of the user.

- Caregivers need to be mindful of their ergonomic 

positioning when assisting.
