Transport 

7.1

 

Safety information 

WARNING! Risk of injury if wheelchair is not 

secured during transport 
Your wheelchair is not designed for passenger 
transport in vehicles. You could suffer serious injury 

in an accident.  
-  During transport, sit in a correctly secured seat, not 

in the wheelchair. 

 

IMPORTANT!  
Excessive wear and abrasion could affect the 

strength of load-bearing parts.  

- Do not pull your wheelchair across abrasive 

surfaces without the wheels fitted (e.g. pulling the 

frame over tarmac). 

 

7.2

 

Folding and unfolding the wheelchair 

The wheelchair has a rigid frame. Nevertheless, the backrest 
can be folded forwards and fixed there. 

Folding the wheelchair 

 

Remove the seat cushion, if present. 

 

Fold the clothes-guard, if present, inwards against the 
backrest on both sides. 

 

Pull the cord on the back of the wheelchair and fold the 
backrest forward until it engages. 

 

The wheelchair can now be lifted using the backrest 
brace. 

 

Unfolding the wheelchair 

 

Pull the cord on the backrest of the wheelchair.
