Transport It As Luggage - Invacare XLT Max User Manual

7. 2 HOW TO DISASSEMBLE YOUR XLT TO TRANSPORT IT AS LUGGAGE
Your XLT is easy to transport, many parts are removable to make the chair smaller and lighter.
A
Start by removing the armrests.
Flip up armrests
Press the button (A), swing the armrest up.
Lift it straight up. You may need to hold it slightly for-
ward, then lift it straight up (B).
Detachable armrests
When you have detachable armrests, just lift them up.
Remove the swing away legrests by pressing the lever
(C), whilst turning the footrests outwards or inwards
and pull them straight up.
Remove the adjustable legrests by pressing the level
(D) backwards, whilst turning the legrests outwards
and pull them straight up.
Be careful that you do not trap your fingers
between frame and legrest.

Remove the rear wheels by pressing the button in
the centre of the hub at the same time as you pull
the wheel away from the wheelchair. The procedure
is the same when you replace the wheel: press the
button and put the wheel back in place.
It is very important that you check
that the locking pin has actually
locked the wheel into position when
the centre button has been released.
Take hold of the wheels and try to
detach them. This should NOT be
possible.
Folding the chair
After removing the wheels, flip down the backrest by
grabbing the wire at the lower back of the backrest and
twisting it to release the backrest locking.
Be careful that you do not trap your fingers
when you fold the backrest forward onto the
seat.
Important
Do not try to lift the wheelchair by grabbing
the backrest bar. The XLT Max does not have
a locking function and the backrest may flip up
and hurt you.
