3.1. Wheel blocking

• The brake can be applied on the Elexo XXL by pushing
the gray lip on the wheel downwards (See figure 2) .
• To take the Elexo XXL off the brake, the gray lip on the
wheel must be pushed upwards again .

3.2. Directional wheel

• The standard Elexo XXL comes with a swivel wheel that is
fitted to the left front side of the device (See figure 3). The
direction of the wheel can be blocked by pushing the green
lip on the wheel downwards . This makes it easier to push
the device over long distances as the chair is less inclined
to move sideways .
• In order to remove the blocking, the green lip on the wheel
must be pushed upwards again .

3.3. Footrests

• Before the client takes a seat in the Elexo XXL, the footrests
must be raised slightly and turned outwards . There is now
sufficient room in front of the chair and the client can easily
take a seat .
• Once the client has taken a seat, the carer or client raises
one leg, the carer then turns the footrest forwards until it
falls into the lock . The client can then rest their foot on the
support .
• The same procedure is then carried out with the other leg .
• The footrests of the Elexo XXL are adjustable in length . To
do this, pull off the tube adjuster and select the desired
position . Then push the tube adjuster back onto the frame .
Always replace this component on the chair when you
have finished using it. This will avoid the component
being lost.
