2. If a Spreader bar is fitted across the backrest, detach it from the Backrest, also remove the kerb
rider (if fitted).
3. Check the footrests/legrests are in a locked position towards the front of the chair and that the
footplates are folded upward to vertical position. Alternatively, remove the footrests/legrests
from the Powerchair. To remove the footrest, press the lever behind the vertical chassis tube
swing the footrest outward and unhook it from the frame. To install the footrest, hold it slightly
angled away from the Powerchair, with the two hinge plates above the mounting pins on the
Powerchair frame, align the holes in the hinge plates with the mounting pins, so that you can slide
the hinge plates over the pins. Swing the footrest forward to its normal position until it snaps
into lock.
4.
Disconnect all cables from the underside of the Electronic Power Module and the Battery
connecting cables.
5. Remove both Armrests along with the Joystick Box assembly. To remove the armrest, proceed
in the same manner and simply pull it out of its mounting socket, altogether. On the side where
the joystick box is fitted (usually on the right) the connecting cable from the joystick box to the
underside of the electronic power module is long enough, so that this armrest can be removed in
the same manner, place by the side of the Powerchair, alternatively, disconnect the joystick box
cable from the power module.
6.
Remove thumbscrews and Cradle Clamp and Battery Straps.
7. Remove the Batteries, Tray and Cradle. Take care when lifting Batteries. To avoid injury be
sure to adopt the correct lifting posture, ask for assistance if required.

concertina together and reduce the Powerchair to a compact stowage size.
