On completion of the above activities, the wheelchair is ready to use.
FOLDING
The wheelchair can be re-folded in order to be transported and stored
more easily.
•
Swing away the footplates and set them in vertical position
(perpendicularly to the ground).
•
Grab the upholstery and detach from Velcro.
•
Disassemble the headrest and transverse stabilization.
•
To fold the frame, pull the seat upwards by holding the front and
the back edge in the middle, so that the frame jumps out from the
connecting elements.
•
If necessary, lift the anti-tipping wheels to the maximum height.
WHEEL LOCKS
•
To lock the wheels, push the wheel lock lever forwards until the
wheel is fully blocked (separately for left and right wheel). Please,
note that the wheel lock only serves to lock the wheels when the
wheelchair is at a complete stop.
WHEEL LOCKS ADJUSTMENT
The correct lock of the wheel lock depends on its adjustment and
position. The handle of the wheel lock should be positioned so that the
wheel lock shoe blocks the wheel firmly and the lever does not face
excessive resistance.
•
In case of excessive resistance, pull the handle forwards slightly
by twisting off the locking screw which is located on the other
side of wheel lock (from the inside of the wheelchair). Set the
wheel lock shoe in such position that the wheel lock blocks the
wheel easily without resistance.
•
When the wheel lock does not touch or lock the wheel
sufficiently, follow the above instruction by moving the handle in
the opposite direction.
