HANDLING
Folding up: First remove the seat cushion from the wheelchair and flip up the (platform) footplate or the individual
footplates. (Fig. 2) Take hold of the sling from underneath in the middle and pull upwards. The wheelchair will then
fold up. To fold your wheelchair until it is as small as possible, e.g., to put into a car, you can remove the footrests
(depending on the model). For this purpose, open the latch from the out-side and swing the footrest to the side.
Then the footrest only has to be drawn out of the frame tubing. (Fig.4)
Caution: Before folding the wheelchair, make sure that the stabilizer bar is removed.
Unfolding: Open the strap on folded frame prior to unfolding. (Fig.3)
Press down on the seat tubing (see picture). Your wheelchair is then unfolded. Now snap the seat tubing into
position in the seat saddle. This can be facilitated by slightly tipping your wheelchair. In this way, the weight can
be taken off of one rear wheel so that the wheelchair can be more easily unfolded.
Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the cross-tube assembly.
RECLINING BACK (4º - 55º) (FIG. 5): By pulling the 2 levers (1) at the same time the backrest is released and can
be set to the required position.
Releasing the 2 levers (1) will lock the backrest automatically in the new position. To bring the backrest back to
the upright position, just move it (no release necessary) to the required position.
Caution: The reclining back is only to be used in combination with the active anti-tips setting
Caution: The reclining back is only to be used in combination with a stabilizer bar. Please always make sure that
the stabilizer bar is locked in place on both sides.
Caution: In order to avoid any reduction in the cable function, you must make sure that the cables are not
completely taut.
Caution: When adjusting the back angle, be careful not to get your fingers caught.
Caution: Before adjusting the back angle, put the anti tip tubes in to the active position
Quick-Release Axles for Rear wheels
The rear wheels are equipped with quick-release axles. The wheels can thus be installed or removed without using
tools. To remove a wheel, simply depress the quick-release button on the axle (1) and pull it out. (Fig.6,7)
CAUTION: Hold the quick-release button on the axle depressed when inserting the axle into the frame to mount
the rear wheels. Release the button to lock the wheel in place. The quick-release button should snap back to its
original position.
