Disassemble rear castor assembly. To release the rear strut, squeeze the
two plastic buttons either side of the head of the shock absorber and pull
the head towards you and out of the clasp.
(When replacing this structure, simply reverse the initial movement, squeezing
the two plastic buttons on either site and inserting it back into the metal clasp.
Occasionally it can twist slightly, so ensure it is straight and fully engaged into the
clasp. You should hear a satisfying click when inserted correctly.)
Once this is separated, fold down the strut behind the seat, resting the top of the
shock absorber against the top of the seat. There is another piece of elastic at the
base of the rear strut which will hook over the clasp on the back of the seat. This
will stop the rear wheel assembly from dropping down whilst the wheelchair is
transported (see picture below).
