To unfold (see left picture): Place both hands on the seat upholstery 
tubes and push them down.  You should be careful and not put your 
hand between the tubes and the wheelchair frame when unfolding. Be 
sure that the seat is fully engaged with the wheelchair frame.  

 

IMPORTANT!   Risk of Damage  

If seat is not fully engaged with the frame, damage to the chair frame 
can occur. 

 

To fold (see right picture): Remove the seat cushion if you have one. 
Flip up the footrests. Lift the upholstery at the center of the seat and 
pull the sides inward. 

When packaged at ROWHEELS, the Revolution 1.0 has its fold-down 
push handles in the “stowed” position. It is not recommended to use 
the wheelchair in this configuration.  

To engage the push handles, pivot each handle up until the latch pin 
pops into place. 

 

WARNING! Risk of Serious Injury or Damage 

The latch pins MUST be engaged on both handles prior to use of the 
wheelchair.

 

 

 

CAUTION! Risk of Moderate Injury 

Take care to not get fingers pinched at the push handle pivot joint. 

 

To stow the push handles, simple press the pin release lever just behind the 
latch pin.
