Seat belts
Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the rider’s
posture. Improper use of these belts may cause severe
injuries to the rider.
Make sure the rider does not slide down in the
wheelchair seat. If this occurs, the rider may suffer
chest compression or suffocate due to pressure from
the belts.
Never use belts as a motor vehicle restraint.
• The seatbelt should be used at all times in accordance with
instructions.
• There should be approximately one hand width of space
between the seat belt and thigh; do not exceed this amount
of space.
• Ensure that the seat belt is properly fastened as to avoid
serious injuries.
• In case of emergency, ensure that seat belt can be easily
unfastened.

Rear Wheels Axles

Quick-release axles
WARNING
Stainless quick-release
axles are a standard
wheelchair component.
Other axle types are
optional equipment.
All quick-release axles
are designed to make
your rear wheels easy to
remove quickly. However,
if not used properly, they
can be dangerous.
Fig. 6
NEVER use your chair UNLESS you are sure that both
rear axles are locked into place in the axle receiver. If
an axle is not fully locked into place, the rear wheel
may come off during use of the chair and cause you to
fall. You can notice when the axle is locked into place
because the quick-release button in the center of the
axle will pop out fully. It is also a good idea to pull on
the wheel to double-check that the axle is securely
locked as a final precaution.
• To remove the rear wheels, push the button in the center of
the wheel’s hub (Fig. 6) and pull the wheels off (1).
• To reinstall the rear wheels on the wheelchair, push the button
of the quick-release axles, insert the axle into the wheelchair
axle bushing and release the button
• Always make sure that the quick release detent balls (2)
extend beyond the axle bushing for a secure lock.

• To remove the rear wheels:
unscrew the bolt (1) (Fig. 7)
located inside the wheelchair
axle bushing and pull out the
wheel.
• To reinstall the rear wheels
on the wheelchair: insert the

bushing.
• Tighten the bolt (1) and make
sure that the wheel is still turning
