Use
Transport wheels take the place of the drive wheels. In order to move, an attendant is required to push the wheel
chair.
>
Prior to use, verify whether the transport wheels have been set to the same height.
1) Remove the drive wheels.
Whenever possible, this should be done when the user is not sitting in the wheelchair. If the user is sitting in
the wheelchair, proceed as follows:
2) The first attendant holds the wheelchair in a stable position so that the drive wheels are relieved in turn.
3) The second attendant carefully removes the first and second drive wheel one after the other.
→ The wheelchair can now be pushed on the transport wheels (see fig. 58).
