parts of the side frame tubes and back handles.
6.2 Opening the wheelchair:
Press downwards on the upper tubes of the cross frame
until the chair is completely unfolded. Now put the

between, the frame and the movable parts of the
footrest while elevating or lowering the footrest.

fingers in the adjusting mechanism between the moving
parts of the footrest.
• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the
footboards.
These should be flipped up beforehand or the footrest
should be swung to the outside as far as possible.
