Handling
Folding up
First remove the seat cushion and
the back seat shell from the
wheelchair and flip up the (platform)
footplate or the individual footrests.
Take hold of the sling or the seat
tubes in the middle, from the back
and pull upwards. The wheelchair will
then fold up. To fold your wheelchair
so that it is as small as possible, e.g.,
to put into a car, you can remove the
footrests (depending on the model).
For this purpose, open the latch from
the outside and swing the footrest to the side. Then the footrest only
has to be drawn out of the receiver tube (Fig. 1.0).
Transportation
To move the mobility aid, the folded wheelchair should be lifted by
holding the front part of the cross-brace and the push handles.

Getting into your wheelchair independently
(Fig. 4.0)
• The wheelchair should be pushed up against
a wall or solid piece of furniture;
• The brakes should be on;
• The footplates should be hinged up;
• The user can then lower himself into the chair;
• The footplates should then be pushed down
and the feet rested on them in front of the
heel loops.
Getting out of your wheelchair
independently (Fig. 5.0)
• The brakes should be on;
• The hinged footplates should be hinged up;
• With one hand on each armrest, the person
should bend slightly forward to bring the
body weight to the front of the seat, and with
both feet firmly on the ground, one foot well
back, push up into the upright position.
WARNING!
When standing, do not stand on the footplates or the wheelchair will
tip up. It is easier and safer to get into your wheel chair if you turn
the footplates up and out of the way or take them off the wheelchair.

Unfolding
Press down on the seat tube (see
figure). Your wheelchair is then
unfolded. Now snap the seat tubing
into position in the seat saddle. This
can be facilitated by slightly tipping
your wheelchair, as this means that
the weight is taken off one of the rear
wheels. Be careful not to get your
fingers caught in the cross-tube
assembly . Refit the seat cushion
(Fig. 2.0).
When transporting the unoccupied wheelchair in a vehicle,
it should be tied down or strapped in.
Quick-Release Axles for Rear Wheels (Fig.3.0)
Removing the rear wheels will
keep the wheelchair as compact
as possible.
The rear wheels are equipped
with quick-release axles. The
wheels can thus be installed or
removed with out using tools.
To remove a wheel, simply
depress the quick-release button
on the axle (1) and pull it out.
CAUTION!
Hold the quick-release button on the axle depressed when inserting
the axle into the frame to mount the rear wheels. Release the
button to lock the wheel in place. The quick-release button should
snap back to its original position.

Transporting the Wheelchair
SEAT DEPTH
By removing the clips (1), the cross-brace unit (2) can be pushed
along the frame, which then alters the seat depth (depending on the
position of the back tubes).
Make sure that the clips (1) snap into the frame holes provided.
To keep the frame as compact as possible, the seat depth can also
be adjusted by using the back tubes (410 – 460mm in steps of
25mm). To do this remove the screws (1 and 2) on the back tube
bracket. Remove the wheels and the armrests and check that the
cross-brace is in the desired position (push the cross-brace as
described above). Move the back tubes to the desired position and
re-tighten all screws. Move the receiver tube for the armrests to the
desired position (Fig. 6.0).
