5.0 preparing your wheelchair for use
5.1 handling the wheelchair
note:
To dismantle the chair for transport or storage no
tools are required.
The list of components when dismantled: (components
below are related to the maximum detachable parts and
dependent on the type of seating system chosen):
1 pair of armrests
•
1 pair of leg rests, or single centre mount leg rest
•
with flip-up footplate
1 backrest (Jay/ Jay Comfort)
•
1 drive unit with seat frame.
•
5.2 preparation for transportation or storage
First remove the leg rests if swing away leg rests are
attached. In the case of a centre mount leg rest, just
flip up the footboard. Lift off the armrests (Fig. 5.1),
disconnect the hand control if necessary, (Fig.5.3-5.4).
Release the retainer pin and fold down the backrest at
the frame (Fig. 5.2). Now you can store the chassis part.
By releasing the freewheel mechanism (Fig.
5.5 RWD-
FWD
and Fig. 5.6 MWD) on the left and right side of the
chassis you can move the drive unit as close as possible
to the place you want to store it.
You can also drive the base with the joystick up or down
a ramp into and out of a car for transportation.
warnIng!
Make sure, when the chair is stored or left in the car or
anywhere else, the controller is switched off and the
freewheel mechanisms are engaged.
cautIon!
If there is a need to lift the drive unit on the RWD and
FWD chair the big side frame tubes should be used. On
the MWD use the rear castor arm and the drive wheel.
Caution should be taken if the chair is in freewheel.
to remove the control pod:
vr2:
Loosen the adjustment screw on the control arm
and slide the arm out of the bracket, (Fig 5.3). Place the
controller and arm in a safe place until required.
r-net:
Locate the in-line bus connector. Gently pull the
plugs apart to separate the loom, (
Fig. 5.4).
To reconnect the hand control just repeat the process in
reverse.
5.3 re-assembling
Flip up or replace the backrest. Put your armrests back
in and connect the remote controller. Attach the hangers
or flip down the footplate. Make sure your freewheel
mechanisms are engaged. Now you are ready to drive
the chair.
warnIng!
Never lift the wheelchair by the armrests or the leg rests,
since they are detachable and harm could be done to the
user or to the wheelchair.
