7 Transport

7.1 Safety information

WARNING!
Risk of injury if the wheelchair is not properly
secured

In the event of an accident, braking manoeuvre, etc.
you may suffer serious injuries from flying wheelchair
parts.

–

Always remove the rear wheels when transporting

the wheelchair.

–

Firmly secure all wheelchair components in the

means of transport to prevent them from coming
loose during the journey.

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

IMPORTANT!

–

Do not fold and unfold the wheelchair when the back

is hinged down.

Folding the wheelchair

IMPORTANT!

–

Release the stabilizing bar, if present, before folding

the wheelchair.

1.

Remove the seat cushion, if present.

2.

Fold the footrests upwards.

3.

Pull the seat cover upwards.

4.

Now you can fold the backrest down, if your wheelchair is fitted
with a folding back.
