Loading the wheelchair without assistance
(see fig. 28-29-30)
The following actions have been designed for people with good
control of their upper body, arms and hands as well as sufficient
strength to perform the movements in complete safety.
Open the door on the side where you will get into the car
from (eg. the driver's door), after that move the chair as close
as possible to the seat (see figure 28).
Engage the brakes and get into the car (see chapter 2.1
"Movements: getting into and out of the wheelchair") (see
fig.28).
Once you are inside the car, release the wheelchair brakes
and pull out the rear wheels (see chapter 5.5 "Quick release
rear wheels").
Fold the wheelchair (see chapter 5.3 "Closing system").
Take hold of the chair with one hand on the front frame and
the other hand on the backrest handle so as to balance
the weight of the wheelchair and make lifting it easier.
Load the chair and the rear wheels into the car. (See fig. 29)
