6. Operation and Adjustments
This wheelchair has a number of quick release components and the wheelchair frame is easily
foldable to facilitate a light carry weight and minimise storage space.
6.1
Opening the wheelchair
Warning: Pinching or crushing. Be careful to avoid being pinched or having your hands
crushed when folding or unfolding the wheelchair, or when lifting or handling parts. Take
care to avoid the cross structure under the seat, getting your hand pinched as you lower
Press down with the palm of the hand on the seat tubes until the wheelchair has completely opened.
Now snap the seat tubing into position in the seat saddle. This can be facilitated by slightly tipping the
wheelchair, as this means that the weight is taken off one of the rear wheels.

Folding the wheelchair
The wheelchair has been designed with an easy fold mechanism. To fold the chair, ensure that the
leg rests are locked in position and that the footrests are flipped up.
Remove the quick release components if required. Pull up in the centre of seat canvas and the
wheelchair will naturally fold up.
6.3
Adjusting depth
A unique feature of the Impulse wheelchair is the ability to adjust the depth from 400mm to 500mm
all within one frame. To achieve this movement you simply remove the nut and screw from both the
rear of the frame where you can see the tube in tube option (figure 1). With the nuts and screws
removed you can adjust the chair to your desired depth (figure 2). Once this is achieved replace
the screw and nuts through the pre-drilled tubes and tighten. Once you have extended the depth of
the chair you can now adjust the back canvas which now is extended to be part of the seat canvas.
