The versatility of R Healthcare Modular wheelchairs provides for the fitting of a
wide range of options and accessories across all models and sizes to meet
ongoing wheelchair user needs.

for the user, not to be removed without reference to the Approved Distributor.
Users are responsible for ensuring that the product is used safely and
correctly.

Packaging should be disposed of carefully and safely after initial period of use.

If after reading this information guide, you have and further questions or are
