Unpacking Your GTE
If your new GTE has been shipped to you in a container, please read on to understand how to unpack your GTE.
If your GTE chair has been delivered fully assembled by a dealer please skip to
Your GTE has been securely packaged to avoid damage during transit and will likely need two strong people to
lift once delivered. Trekinetic deliveries are fully insured but your first job is to check that the container looks
to be in good condition (as below), If there is any damage, like holes or big dents in the side of the carton you
must take pictures as proof. This way, in the rare event of damage in transit, we will be able to claim in full
against our insurers for any repairs or part replacement.
Unpacking
All Trekinetic wheelchairs ship directly from our facility in the UK. Whilst all containers are shipped securely,
there are some differences in how we ship them, I.e. International shipments will likely contain a solid wood
frame whereas domestic shipments normally don’t. Hopefully this should become obvious
when reading the
below instructions.
1.
Place the box on the floor with the wooden pallet at the base as per the picture above.
2.
Carefully cut the 4 metal straps and remove the lid.
3.
Set aside the protection plates on top and remove the upper packaging material
4.
Slide the central cardboard sleeve upwards, trying not to tear it as it can be reused if you ever need to
ship the entire chair back to us.
5.
If the chair has been delivered outside the UK and you can see the wooden frame inside, use a
screwdriver (not supplied) to undo the screws in each of the four legs at the base. If not, skip to step 7.
6.
Lift up and set aside the wooden structure with the wheel attached.
7.
Cut the white cable ties to free the wheels and remove them along with the rest of the packaging
8.
Cut the three white cable ties attaching the main body to the base.
9.
Set the main body of the GTE on the floor and move the packaging out of the way.
