Handling Opening and Folding Opening Rest both hands on each of the seat upholstery support rails and press down until the seat and back upholsteries become tight. See photo 2 Make sure that the seat support rails are safely located in the support cups. Warning! Do not place your fingers between the seat upholstery and the seat tubes when opening or folding the frame.
Quick Release Rear Wheel To remove the rear wheels depress the quick release button and pull the wheel away from the frame of the wheelchair. The Quick Release axle will also be removed at the same time. For safety reasons this should only be carried out when the wheelchair is unoccupied and the wheelchair can be supported.
Footrest Warning! Be very careful not to angle the footrest assembly as it may catch the wheelchair frame and could damage the paintwork. To remove the footrest, first lift up the footplate then activate the release lever (photo b). Swing away the footrest to the side of the wheelchair. Carefully grip the footrest assembly and lift straight up (photo c).
