5 Transport and Storage
5.1 Transport
Team Twin Edtion is available in a customised model that can the seperated for easy transportation and to take
up lesser space when stored. We recorment this version if you are in need of trasporting the wheelchair in smal
-
ler cars.
It is easy to seperate and reconnect the frame using an allen key (Images 4-7).
5.2 Transfer
The method of transfer to and from the chair is individually selected reflecting the preferences of the user. The
most common method is transferring from the side or the front. Depending on the user’s mobility and the de-
sign of the wheelchair, it will be individual if the user can move to and from the wheelchairs by themselves or
need a third part helping for one or both ways.
The user should find the method that works best and maybe have to try different ways, before finding the right
method. When transferring the first couple of times or until the right method is found and the user gets used to
the transferring, it is recommended to have a helper present.

6.3 Adjusting the Back Depth and Form
The back’s form can be adjusted to suit the individual user’s requirements for support and balance. The Velcro
straps under the back upholstery are used to adjust the back´s form.
•
Fold up the back of the backrest upholstery to make the Velcro straps visible (Image 9).
•
Loosen or tighten individual straps so that the back’s form suits the user’s requirements (Image 10).
•
Fold down the back upholstery and secure it to the straps.
Adjustments to the back form and depth affects the benefit the user gets from the chair substantially. Woltur
-
nus A/S recommends that the form and the depth are initially adjusted with assistance from a Wolturnus A/S
consultant or from the user’s therapist.
Risk of accident due to loose screws
After loosening any threaded screws, they must be replaced with new screws or secu
-
red once more with a medium-strength thread paste (e.g. EuroLock A24.20). After making
adjustments to the wheelchair, all screws and all nuts must be tightened correctly.
