4.5 Propelling and slowing down the
wheelchair with the push rims
The wheelchair can be manoeuvred forwards,
backwards, left and right by using the push
rims on the rear wheels.
To do this, hold the push rims with your hands
and turn the wheel towards the front or back.
Place your hand on the push rim with the
thumb in the direction of movement and form
a fist enclosing the push rim.
To slow down, let the push rim glide through
your hand in a controlled manner.
CAUTION
During hard braking manoeuv-
res the pushrims can become
quite hot.
To steer the wheelchair, slow down the push
rim on the side to which the wheelchair should
move or turn.
To turn on the spot, push one hand forwards
and the other hand backwards at the same
time.
CAUTION
When propelling your wheel-
chair, make sure that you do
not touch the tyre casing with
your thumb.
Risk of trapping between the
tyre and side panel / armrest!
