TRANSFERRING TO AND FROM THE CHAIR
Circumstances and individual needs will vary and we
recommend you consult a healthcare professional
regarding transfers.
During transfers always make sure that the brakes are in a
locked position and the wheelchair is as close as possible
to the transfer surface.
FOLDING THE CHAIR
The wheelchair is folded by grasping the seat canvas at the front centre with one hand and at the
rear with the other. A simple lifting action will draw both sides of the chair together into the folded
position.
UNFOLDING THE CHAIR
When both wheels have been secured, grasp both side frames of the wheelchair and pull apart as
far as possible or at least until there is sufficient room to push down on the sides of the seat canvas.
To assist you in storing the chair for transportation, first remove the footrests, fold down the rear
push handles (if applicable) and fold the chair as described in earlier paragraph. Ensure the back
upholstery folds to the rear of the chair and in a tidy manner.
FOOTREST ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
Adjustments are made with the user sitting in the wheelchair with feet on footplates. Wherever possible
please consult with a healthcare professional for the optimum height.
1. Use a spanner to loosen the bolt at the bottom of the footrest support hanger.
2. Adjust the footplate up or down as needed to provide maximum support of thighs on the seat
upholstery, then re-tighten the bolt.
WARNING!
Ensure that desired length adjustment does not cause undue pressure on your thighs.
Your footrests are capable of being rotated outwards. Simply pull the lever towards you and turn in
the required direction then lift off the two pegs.
