Everyday use
Wheel locks • :
They are designed to prevent a stationary wheelchair from rolling and should NEVER be
used as brakes to slow a moving chair. The wheel locks can be foot engaged, by lifting the
levers (C) to a stop. The locks are disengaged by pressing down on the levers (C) until they
hit a stop.
Safety note: Before disengaging the wheel locks, ensure the wheelchair is under control.
Always apply wheel locks when the chair is stationary. The wheel locks are less effective on
worn tyres.
Tip assist • :
The wheelchair can be tipped onto its rear wheels, allowing it to traverse steps and curbs.
To perform this, press down on the wheel lock lever (C). Using the handlebars, rotate the
wheelchair about the rear wheel to lift the castors.
Safety note: Ensure you have full control of your chair when you perform this operation.
Anti-tip levers • :
These are designed to reduce the possibility of a tip. To increase wheelchair stability, move
the anti-tip levers (B) to their rearmost position. To disengage, push the levers (B) to their
foremost position.
Safety note: Both anti-tip levers should be used together to avoid potential instability.
Tilt in space • :
The angle of the chair can be adjusted by pressing down on the tilt lever (A) and using the
handlebars to adjust the seat’s angle.
Safety note: It is advised that the wheel locks are engaged during this operation. The
wheelchair may be less stable when tilted.
Swing-away footrests • :
To swing under, pull the lower handle of the orange snap clip (D) towards the front of the
chair. The bar it grips will be released, and the foot rests can swing away under the chair.
To re-secure, bring the footrest’s central bar to the clip, and push together firmly until they
click into place.
Safety note: Beware of the potential finger trap between the snap clip and the leg rest
down tubes.
