the sideguards to the desired
position, replace and retighten the
screws (see the page on torque).

Neither the sideguards nor the armrests are to be used for
lifting or carrying the wheelchair.

with Cold-Weather Protection
(Fig. 5.33)
Clothing guards (optional) prevent
water from splashing up and soiling
clothing.
Their position relative to the rear
wheels can be set by adjusting the
sideguards.
To do this, remove the screws (1
and 2). The armrests (optional) can
be adjusted to the desired height after the screws (3) have been
removed. When finished, make sure that all screws have been
properly tightened (see the page on torque).

lifting or carrying the wheelchair.
Height-Adjustable Push
Handles (Fig. 5.34)
These handles are secured with
pins to prevent them from sliding
out uninten tion ally. Opening the
quick-release lever (1) makes
it possible to adjust the push
handles to meet your individual
needs. As you move the lever,
you will hear a locking mecha-
nism; you may now easily
position the push handle as desired. The nut (2) on the tension
lever determines how tightly the push handles are clamp ed into
place. If the nut is loose after adjusting the tension lever, the
push handle will also be too loose. Turn the push handle from
side to side before use to make sure that it is clamped securely
enough into place. After adjusting handle height, always clamp
the tension lever (1) securely into place. If the lever is not
secure, injuries could result when lifting over obstacles.
Push Handles
Fold-Down Push Handles
(Fig. 5.35)
If the push handles are not in
use, they can be folded down by
depressing the button (2). When
they are needed again, simply flip
them back up until they click into
place.
Lap belt instructions
Before using your wheelchair
ensure the lap belt is worn.
The lap belt must be checked on a
daily basis to ensure it is free from
any obstruction or adverse wear.
Always make sure that the lap
belt is correctly secured and
adjustedprior to use. Too loose a
strap could cause the user to slip
down and risk suffocation or cause
serious injury.
The lap belt is ftted to the wheel-
chair as shown in the illustrations.
The seat belt comprises 2 halves.
They are ftted using the existing
seat stay retaining bolt ftted
through the eyelet on the belt. The
belt is routed under the rear of the
side panel. (Fig. 5.36)
Adjust the belt position so buckles are in the centre of the seat.
