Intended use

Panthera is a wheelchair designed for everyday easy driving, it’s also a chair you can sit in comfortably and

correctly. It is constructed so that you can easily lift it into your car. The chassis has minimal outer dimensions

and is the lightest available on the market today. We have even designed the connecting tubes on the frame

so that you have a balanced and correct grip when you need to lift the chassis into your car. To make full use

of your Panthera it is essential that you, or someone qualified to do so, make the necessary adjustments to

enable you to sit properly, give you maximum mobility capacity and to ensure the chair is balanced to suit your

specific needs. This is why we enclose these instructions showing you how to adjust your Panthera.

On the last two pages of these instructions for use there are some points of importance for your

safety. Please read these points carefully.

Panthera Standard

Check that you have received a chair with the correct

measurements as ordered. Check the following:

- Width of the chair.

 Measure the outer measurement of the

seat. It should be 33,36,39,42 or 45cm depending on your

order.

- Height of backrest.

 Measure the height of the lackered,

verticle tube of the backrest. It should be approx.0.5cm less

than the height you ordered. If, for instance, you ordered a

30 back, the tube should be about 29.5cm high.

- Accessories.

 Check that you have received all the

accessories you ordered.

 You can make a technical inspection of the chair by

checking that:

- The rear wheel axles  go in and out of the axle housing

easily.

- The button at the centre of the wheel’s hub does spring

back out after you’ve put the rear wheels in place.

- All four wheels touch the floor.

- The back rest is easily folded forward.

- The casterfork attachment for the front wheels can be

turned easily.

-If any of the above points are not satisfactory,

contact your supplier

Unpacking and checking:

When transporting the chair by car, remove

the rear wheels and fold the backrest forward.

The rearwheels 

can be removed by pushing

in the button at the centre of the hub You then

pull the wheel out. When replacing the

rearwheel you should first push the button in,

and then put the axle into the hole in the axle

housing. Then release the button and check

that it springs out. Push the wheel all the way

in and pull outwards to check that it is firmly

in place.(See figure 2)The back rest can be

folded by pulling the wire attached to the

backlock, and then folding the backrest

forward and downwards. When you unfold

the backrest you need only lift it as far as

it will go and the backlock will catch

automatically, fixing the backrest in an

upright position.
