Companion:
If the user is left alone in the wheelchair,
always lock the brakes and check that the
anti tips are turned down.

wheelchair by moving the chair about 10
cm rearwards making the front castors
turn forward.
How to use the companion brakes:
• To lock: Pull the handle upwards and push
the red handle into locking position.
• To open: Pull the handle a little more
up until the red handle is released and the
handle can be slipped back into position.
