QUICK CHAIR SETUP
Wheels
1. When installing wheels on your chair, always check to make sure the axles
have been locked into place.
2. Depress the quick-release button fully. Insert the axle through
the hub of the rear wheel and release the button.
3. Pull on the wheel to make sure it is fully inserted and locked. Repeat these
steps on the other side of your chair.
4. Ask your Authorized Dealer to adjust the axle if it does not lock.
5. To remove the wheels, depress the quick-release button fully and pull the
wheel out of the hub.
Note: You should remove the wheels for transport or storage.
Backrest and Seating
1. Pull the release cord in the rear of the chair and pull up on the backrest
until the pin locks into place.
2. Place the cushion on the seat sling. Do not sit directly on the seat sling.
3. Sit in your wheelchair. If you note any areas of discomfort or misalignment
contact your Authorized Dealer for assistance.
4. If you have tension adjustable upholstery, consult your Owner' s Manual for
adjustment and comfort tips to make sure you are properly supported.
Wheel Locks
R
The Quickie 5
comes with either push-to-lock, pull-to-lock, or scissor-type
wheel locks.
1. Always engage your wheel lock for any activity other than driving the chair.
Transfers, changing clothes, and reaching for any reason require that the
wheel locks be fully engaged. This will aid in your stability.
2. You can engage your wheel lock by pushing or pulling the handle until you
feel the lever lock into place.
3. To disengage the wheel lock, grasp the handle and move it in the opposite
direction until the locking arm releases the wheel.
4. The wheel lock arm must be embedded into the tire at least ⅛". Ensure
the wheel lock is properly adjusted for your safety.
