How to open the wheelchair

Reverse the above procedure.
Car/taxi
Place the wheelchair in the boot of the car. Should this not be possible, place the wheelchair between the rear
and the front seats in a stable position to prevent it from sliding down or tipping over. If possible, block the
wheelchair in place by using the car seat belt.
Minibus
The user must take a seat in one of the minibus seats, while the wheelchair must be blocked in such a way that
it cannot tip over or slide. Should the minibus be provided with a special space for wheelchairs users, follow the
instructions below:
For the user's safety, verify that the space on the minibus is equipped with a three point safety belt
and a headrest (the wheelchair headrest is not enough). The wheelchair must be fixed from the sides, not
from the wheels. The fixing belts should be angled between 0° and 30°.In case of sudden braking, the
wheelchair belt (if available) will not guarantee the user's safety nor prevent the user from being thrust forward.
Wheelchair Driving Instructions
A correct weight distribution will affect the wheelchair performance. The most important factors to take into
consideration when adjusting a wheelchair are the user's body shape and weight, the correct posture of the user
and the correct position of the rear wheels. The more weight is applied to the rear wheels, the easier it will be
for the user to drive the wheelchair. The more weight is applied to the front castors, the more difficult it will be
for the user to drive the wheelchair. If the user is assisted by an attendant, make sure to always put the brakes on
before leaving the user alone.
Parking:
Increase the contact area of the wheelchair by reversing 10 cm with the wheelchair to
make sure both castors are facing forward.
