Setting up your Feather Transport Wheelchair
Unboxing your new Feather wheelchair is a simple and enjoyable action!
All Feather products are shipped fully assembled and folded up for
shipping. Remove your wheelchair from the packaging materials first.
Then, lift up the rear push handles to move the seat back into position
And ensure it locks into place with the two back hinges. Next push
down on the outside seat rails and your Feather product will fully unfold.
Finish the setup of your new Feather wheelchair by installing the velcro attached seat back and
seat bottom overlay pieces, and installing the front legrests. Please note that the overlay pieces fit
only on the seat bottom OR the seat back and the front leg rests are side-specific items.
If your wheelchair was equipped with rear anti-tippers, you can also install them to the rear frame.
The seat back and overlay pieces are made with a durable synthetic nylon mesh material and are
fully machine washable. They must be air dried to avoid over drying in a commercial dryer.
Additional seat overlays in multiple color choices are available to purchase online at,
