6 Service and Repairs

7 Delivery/Preparing the Wheelchair for Use
The wheelchair is usually delivered completely assembled and folded.
Three simple steps prepare it for use:
• When folding or unfolding the wheelchair, hold it only at the indicated positions (Fig. 1 - 4)
– otherwise there could be a risk of injury.
• Loosen the safety strap (Fig. 4). While standing or sitting to the side of the wheelchair, tip
it slightly toward you, and press on the edge of the seat closest to you. The wheelchair will
unfold up to its seat width (Fig. 1).
• Flip the footplate down (Fig. 2).
