Note:
The display can – facing inwards or outwards – be

what is more comfortable for the user.
Power unit
Push the telescopic bar on
the front end through the
holder on the power unit.
Loosen the star screw on
the telescopic bar and ad-
just to the correct length.
Adjust the telescopic bar
to the width of the holders
and push forward until
both sides have clicked
into place.
Then align the PowerStroll
in the center and secu-
re with the wing screws.
When the PowerStroll is at-
tached to the wheelchair,
it should be in a horizontal
position. If this is not the
case, orient the power unit
using the height adjust-
ment on the PowerStroll

Mount both holders on the lower horizontal tubing of the
wheelchair in front of the scissor lift mechanism

. If the PowerStroll can be assembled in front of the
scissor lift mechanism, the preassembled adapter may
have to be replaced with the accompanying extended
adapter.
Tighten the screws so that the holders sit securely and
do not rotate.
