Intended use
Panthera is a wheelchair designed for everyday easy driving, it's also a chair you can sit in comfortably and
correctly. It is constructed so that you can easily lift it into your car. The chassis has minimal outer dimensions
and is the lightest available on the market today. We have even designed the connecting tubes on the frame
so that you have a balanced and correct grip when you need to lift the chassis into your car. To make full use
of your Panthera it is essential that you, or someone qualified to do so, make the necessary adjustments to
enable you to sit properly, give you maximum mobility capacity and to ensure the chair is balanced to suit your
specific needs. This is why we enclose these instructions showing you how to adjust your Panthera.
On the last two pages of these instructions for use there are some points of importance for your
safety. Please read these points carefully.
Unpacking and checking:
Check that you have received a chair with the correct
measurements as ordered. Check the following:
- Width of the chair. Measure the outer measurement of the
seat. It should be 33,36,39,42 or 45cm depending on your
order.
- Height of backrest. Measure the height of the lackered,
verticle tube of the backrest. It should be approx.0.5cm less
than the height you ordered. If, for instance, you ordered a
30 back, the tube should be about 29.5cm high.
- Accessories. Check that you have received all the
accessories you ordered.
You can make a technical inspection of the chair by
checking that:
- The rear wheel axles go in and out of the axle housing
easily.
- The button at the centre of the wheel's hub does spring
back out after you've put the rear wheels in place.
- All four wheels touch the floor.
- The back rest is easily folded forward.
- The casterfork attachment for the front wheels can be
turned easily.
-If any of the above points are not satisfactory,
contact your supplier

the rear wheels and fold the backrest forward.

pull the wheel out. When replacing the
rearwheel you should first push the button in,
and then put the axle into the hole in the axle
housing. Then release the button and check
that it springs out. Push the wheel all the way
in and pull outwards to check that it is firmly
in place.(See figure 2)The back rest can be
folded by pulling the wire attached to the
backlock, and then folding the backrest
forward and downwards. When you unfold
the backrest you need only lift it as far as
it will go and the backlock will catch
