180° SWING-ARM OPTION:
This chair option provides swing-arms that pivot up to 180°. When both
arms are pivoted fully back, chair width is reduced to allow the chair to be
more easily transported through narrow doorways. In addition, swing-arm
can be pivoted back in order to get a wheel chair or gurney alongside the
chair. (See pg. 12)

to maneuver the chair through the doorway.

emergency situations only. This should only be performed by an
attendant.
