Operation
Getting into and out of the wheelchair can be done by
the user individually in a way that suits him or her best.
Getting into the wheelchair from the side requires the
user to remove the right or left side panel depending on
the side where the user will get into the wheelchair (see
section 7.1.2).
DAngEr!
Risk of injury if the power wheelchair starts
rolling!
When getting into or out of the power wheel-
chair, the wheelchair controls must always be
switched off.
This will automatically engage the motor brake.
ATTEnTIOn!
Risk of breaking the footplates and armrests
as a result of overloading them!
The user must not apply his or her entire body
weight to the footrests and armrests for
support when getting into or out of the wheel-
chair.
7.2.1 from the Side
Getting into the wheelchair from the side requires the
user to remove the right or left side panel depending on
the side where the user will get into the wheelchair.

Bring the power wheelchair as close as possible to the
place where its user is sitting.
If the control panel is on the side the user wants to use
to get into/out of the wheelchair, then pull the plug off the
control panel (see fig. 9). Remove the side panel as
described in section 7.1.2 (if necessary, remove the
footrest, see section 7.1.4).
The user can then slide onto the wheelchair's seat from
the side. Use of a transfer board will make this even
easier.
7.2.2 from the front
Flipping up the two footplates makes it possible for the
user to get into and out of the wheelchair from the front
(see fig. 12). The space for getting into/out of the wheel-
chair can be increased by swinging the footrests to the
side. If required, it is also possible to completely remove
the footrests after swinging them to the side (see danger
note in section 7.1.4 Footrest).
The assistance of an attendant or a transfer lifter make
it easy for the user to get into or out of the power
wheelchair. Use of a rotation plate is also possible.
