L
Assembly and adjustments should only be carried out by authorised persons.
THE OPERATING ELEMENTS
The wheelchair should be delivered, already fully assembled, by authorised persons who will also
explain the various operating elements and how to use them. However, for your own safety, we here
provide another detailed explanation of the various parts.
FOLDING THE WHEELCHAIR
Your wheelchair can be folded up so that it can be transported or stored.
Folding
•
Fold up the leg supports' footplates (see "Leg Supports" chapter)
•
If necessary, remove leg supports (see "Leg Supports" chapter)
•
Take hold of the flexible seat cover in the middle, at the front and the back, and pull it upwards.
•
If necessary, remove the fixed seat and/or the fixed backrest (see chapters "Seat", "Back")
•
Fold up the entire frame of the wheelchair to the armrests.
Unfolding
•
Press the seat tubing downwards with both hands.
•
If necessary, add the leg supports (see "Leg Supports" chapter).
•
If necessary, add the fixed seat and/or the fixed backrest (see chapters "Seat", "Back")
L
Every time the leg supports are put back, check that the seat and locking mechanism is correct.
L
Keep objects and people away from the wheelchair's folding range.
L
Folding and unfolding on carpeted floors or similar is difficult (tyres will rub).
ANATOMICAL SEAT (OPTIONAL)
Your wheelchair will normally be supplied with a flexible,
padded seat. If you have opted for an anatomical seat, place
it on the tubular cross-hinge so that the seat's supports
engage equally with the cross-hinge. In the wooden base you
will find slots that are placed in the hinge's cross-pieces. To
fold up the wheelchair, remove the seat by pulling it upwards.
L
Check that the seat is secure before use.
L
Keep all object and bodily parts away from the area
between the seat and the cross-hinge.
