OPERATION
For proper and safe use, we recommend you to follow safety instructions while using your wheelchair. This wheelchair was
designed to ensure stability while seated. Every movement on the wheelchair affects the point of gravity, which may cause the
wheelchair to tip over. To increase your safety, you may use seatbelt.
Reaching an object from the wheelchair - sitting
Only the arms may be extended over the wheelchairs seat. The body and head should stay inside the limits of the seat.
Lateral transfer
Transfer can be performed alone, assuming you are strong enough. Firstly, set the wheelchair as close to the place, which you
want to sit on, as possible, whereby the steering wheels point forward. Activate the fixing brake and move your body towards
the desired place. If there is no support beneath you while moving, please use a board if possible. Fold the legrest up and put
them aside to make room. Bend your body forward, while leaning on the two armrests, and stand up. Then move your body
toward the place, where you want to sit, while distributing your weight to your arms and hands.
Forward transfer
If you are capable of getting up and standing on your own, you may change seats by leaning forward. If you
have trouble with this movement, we advise you to seek assistance from an accompanying person to ensure an
easy and safe transfer. Firstly, engage both brakes and make sure both steering wheels point towards the front.
Please bear in mind that you must not support yourself on the brakes. Grab the handle of the armrest firmly and support
yourself on your arms, to stand up easily (before, make sure armerest are securely locked in place). The assistant may help
you complete the transfer. Position yourself as close to the desired place as possible. When changing your position, please sit
as far back as possible, to prevent screws from breaking, seat cushions from getting damaged, or the wheelchair from tipping
over. Activate the two brakes; these brakes should in no way be used as support for the transfer. You must never support
yourself on the footrests, while sitting or getting up.
