2.4 Folding/unfolding the wheelchair
The model EGO has a double axis system foldable seat and folding backrest tubes.
The two movements are independent and do not create interference to one another.
While folding/unfolding the backrest down, take care not to squeeze your fingers
between the backrest tube and the side guard.
OPENING
Before using the wheelchair, always check the seat and backrest tubes are
locked.
Opening the seat.
With one hand, take hold on the front frame (right or left) on the wheelchair and with your other
hand push the front axis knob A until the complete opening of the seat.
A “click” will indicate the hook unit B is locked.
After opening the seat, always check the hook unit B is properly locked.
To check it, try to pull the knob B (do not pull the string, now).
If the seat does not fold, the lock unit is properly locked.
Lower the footplate (this operation is not necessary if the wheelchair is equipped with an
automatic closure footplate).
Opening the backrest.
Take hold of the backrest’s handle grip and pull it to its upright position. A “click” will indicate the
backrest is locked. Carry out the same operation on the other backrest tube.
Carefully check each backrest tube is locked (the hook C must be properly inserted).
In order to check whether the backrest is correctly open, take hold of the front frame with one
hand, the backrest’s handle grip with the other and try to move the backrest tube frontward and
backward.
When correctly locked, the backrest tube will allow just a little play.
Make the same check for both tubes.
CLOSING
Closing the seat.
NEVER TAKE HOLD ON THE FRONT AXIS KNOB A AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE
HERE BELOW. WHILE FOLDING THE SEAT: YOU WOULD SQUEEZE YOUR
FINGERS BETWEEN THE TWO AXIS X.
NEVER TAKE HOLD ON THE FRONT FRAME ON ITS CURVED PART AS SHOWN
IN THE PICTURE BELOW. IN THIS POSITION, YOUR HAND WOULD BE AT THE
SAME HEIGHT OF THE KNOB A THAT, AT THE END OF THE CLOSING
MOVEMENT, WILL HIT AGAINST THE FINGERS OF YOUR HAND.
You have to take hold on the frame below its curved part.
