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 if it is advantageous. 

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

Diagram 52. The gas spring (2) then drops down from the mount (3) and 

the backrest can be folded forward against the seat, see Diagram 53. 

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

RE-ASSEMBLY AFTER FOLDING 

- Raise the backrest. 

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

- Slip the pin through the gas spring’s mounting hole (4, Diagram 54) 

and completely through both plates of the bracket (3, Diagram 52). 

CHECKLIST AFTER TRANSPORTATION

- Make sure the pin (1) goes fully through the bracket (3), Diagram 52.

- Check that the wheels are securely fastened.

- Make sure the antitip devices are positioned correctly.

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

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

patient will be suddenly tipped backwards.

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.
