IX. SET-UP, ADJUSTMENT & USE
Never let your fingers come between the seat rail and the frame when you open
or fold the wheelchair. This may cause or crush-type injury.
A. TO FOLD WHEELCHAIR (FIGURE 1)
1. Remove back insert (if any).
2. Make sure the footrests are out of the way before you fold the wheelchair. (Swing
away, flip up or remove footrest.)
3. Remove cushion (if any).
4. Stand to one side of wheelchair.
5. With both hands grasp center of seat sling and lift upward sharply until chair folds.
B. TO UNFOLD WHEELCHAIR (FIGURE 2)
1. Stand to one side of wheelchair.
2. From side, tilt chair toward you far enough to take the weight off the opposite wheel.
3. Push down on the seat rail closest to you until wheelchair opens fully.
4. Make sure seat rail tubes drop into frame saddle.
C. QUICK-RELEASE AXLES FOR REAR WHEELS / REMOVING REAR WHEELS
Removing and installing rear wheels must be performed without user sitting in
wheelchair.
Remove Rear Wheel (Figure 3)
The rear wheels of the Breezy Ultra4 are equipped with quick-release axles. The wheels can
be installed or removed without using tools. To remove a wheel, depress the quick-release
button on the axle (A) and pull the wheel out.
Install Rear Wheel (Figures 3 & 4)
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
must snap back to its original position to ensure proper engagement. Ensure that the safe-
ty pin is fully engaged (B).
D. WHEEL LOCKS (FIGURE 5)
Your wheelchair is equipped with two wheel locks. They are applied directly against the
tires. To engage, press both wheel-lock levers (C) forward against the stops. To release the
wheel, pull the levers back to their rearward positions.
NOTE– For "pull-to-lock" wheel locks, pull back on both levers to engage and push forward to release.
Holding power of wheel locks will decrease with:
• Worn tire tread
• Wet tires
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks
The wheel locks have NOT been designed to be used as brakes for a moving
wheelchair. The wheel locks should therefore never be used to brake a moving
wheelchair. Always use the handrims for braking.
Make sure the interval between the tires and wheel lock is adjusted to provide sufficient
holding force (between 19/32"-21/32" or .59"-.66"). Too adjust, loosen clamp bolts found
on underside of the brake mechanism. Set the appropriate interval. Tighten bolts.
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the interval to the wheel locks
and readjust if necessary.
