2.2 General explanation of the function and possibilities of your wheelchair
Your wheelchair is a foldable one, which is designed to be easy to transport in a car. Mainly, we divide the
wheelchairs into two categories: self propel version with large rear wheels, and the transit version with small rear
wheels. You can look at the rear wheel to see which type of wheelchair you have. If you wheelchair has big 24”
rear wheels and you can move it yourself it is a self propel version. If you wheelchair has small 12” rear wheels and
you need a supervisor to push the wheelchair it is a transit version.
Your wheelchair is a product falling into the medical equipment and is not a standard consumer product. You must
follow this manual completely to ensure good, optimal and safe use of your wheelchair.
