HD Rehab offers assistive products for people living with disability. Our primary product is wheelchairs, which we have been designing, developing, and manufacturing for over 40 years. We accept no compromises in quality.
HD Force is a class 1 CE labelled medical device. 2.1 Intended use The wheelchair model HD Force 24 is a manual wheelchair designed for users who can propel themselves to a certain extent. This model can also be used by users who cannot propel themselves.

3. FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS 3.1 Brakes HD Force is equipped with combined service- and parking- disc brakes that can be activated by both the caregiver (1 in Figure 3) and the user (2 in Figure 3). CAREGIVER BRAKES The brakes are activated by the caregiver behind the wheelchair by pushing the handles (Figure 4) up towards the push bar.
Alternatively, the wheelchair can be equipped with pneumatic tyres. REMOVING THE WHEEL: - Press the lock button (1 in Figure 6) on the top (HD Force 24) or the bottom (HD Force 16) of the wheel mount, pull off the wheel.

3.6 Seat tilt and Back recline Figure 13 shows the wheelchair in back reclined and seat tilted positions. - The controls should be handled with moderate force and should always be used one at a time, never both at the same time. - Never hang items on the levers.
3.7 Backrest Height The backrest height can be adjusted approximately 5 cm in the tracks where the back support is secured. This requires a 10mm spanner. As an alternative for tall users there is an extended backrest that is 10cm higher than standard. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE BACKREST: - Loosen the two nuts on each side a few turns (1 in Figure 14).
3.9 Adjustable seat depth The depth of the seat plate can be continuously adjusted in a 10 cm range. It is secured by two knobs under the seat. SETTING SEAT DEPTH: - Loosen the two knobs a few turns (Figure 16). - Slide the seat plate to the desired position.

More information about each accessory is available on the respective information sheet. Instructions for installing each accessory are found on the respective accessory assembly instructions.
4.2 Thoracic support The thoracic support is mounted by inserting the profile (1 in Figure 32) in the thoracic support mount (2) on the backrest. It is secured at the desired position with a knob (3). Note: Do not tighten too hard, the knob and mount can be damaged.

5.3 Driving Technique SLOPED SURFACES When a user drives the wheelchair independently up a slope the wheelchair is balanced by the user leaning forward. When driving down a slope the user leans backward to balance the weight. Speed is controlled by using the hand rims. On steeper slopes the wheelchair should be driven by a caregiver.
6. MAINTENANCE AND CARE For best safety and long life the wheelchair should be kept clean and tidy. Any faults and failures must be addressed immediately. Estimated lifetime is 10 years at normal use with the same patient during the whole lifetime and with maintenance carried out according to the instructions.
6.2 Long term storage The wheelchair should be cleaned before storing long-term. Store in a dry, frost-free environment between 0 and 30°C. Cushions should be wrapped. When returning the wheelchair to service read through the user manual and check that all functions are working properly. 6.3 Recycling and disposal HD Force can be largely recycled.
