2.2 General explanation of the function and possibilities of your wheelchair

Your wheelchair is foldable, which is designed to be easy to transport in a car. This wheelchair is known for its
cross frame. The cross frame has the same colour as the side frame. We distinguish our manual wheelchairs into
two categories: self propel wheelchairs and transit version wheelchairs. You can see if you have a self propel
wheelchair of a transit version wheelchair by checking the rear wheels (self propel: 24" rear wheels, transit
version: 12½" wheels). The G3 Eco is only available as a self propel wheelchair. The rear wheels are provided with
a steel wheel hub. Your wheelchair is a product falling into the medical equipment and is not a standard consumer
product. You must follow this manual completely to ensure good, optimal and safe use of your wheelchair.
