reduce the weight and fold the wheelchair (see chapter

other (fig. 36) and lift the wheelchair .

5.5 Quick release rear wheels
On this model it is possible to remove the rear wheels quickly and
easily, thereby reducing the size of the wheelchair. This can be
particularly useful when the wheelchair needs to be loaded into a
car or place for storage or driven through a narrow passageway if
the wheelchair is provided with transit wheels (see chapter 7.4
"Transit wheels")
Removing the wheel
Release the brakes
To make this procedure easier, slightly raise the wheel using
the handles on the back.
Take hold of the wheel by the spokes close to the axel bush,
push the release button in and, without letting go, pull the
entire wheel outwards (fig. 37).
