FOLDING AND UNFOLDING THE WHEELCHAIR
WARNING Never let your fingers come between moving parts when you open or
close this wheelchair. Doing so may cause a pinch or crush type
injury.
To prevent damage to the armrest upholstery, always remove
the armrest before folding or unfolding the wheelchair.
To Fold:
Fold the foot plates up, grasp the center of the seat upholstery
at the front and the rear, and lift up in a straight line.
To Unfold:
Place one hand on the seat rail that the upholstery is bolted to.
Place the other hand on the rear wheel on the opposite side
of the chair. Simultaneously push down on the seat rail and
pull out on the wheel until the seat is down. In some instances
it may be necessary to wiggle the side to line up the telescope
tubes.
FOOTRESTS
WARNING If you fail to heed these warnings, a fall or tip over may occur and
cause severe injury to you: The lowest point of the footrest should
be at least 2-1/2 inches above the ground level on a flat surface. If
set too low, they may “hang up” on the types of obstacles you can
expect to find in normal use. This may cause the wheelchair to stop
suddenly and tip forward.
WARNING Never try to lift the wheelchair by its footrest. They may come loose
or break. If this occurs, the wheelchair may fall and cause severe
injury to you or others. Lift the wheelchair only by non-detachable
parts of the main frame.
Mounting the Footrest:
1. Place the footrest (A) on the hanger pins (B) at an angle
to the wheelchair.
2. Swing the footrest into position and latch into places.
