CAUTION
Failure to check that the wheelchair is ready for use
Risk of falling, tipping of the user
► Before using the wheelchair for the first time, check the pre-settings with the support of the qualified personnel.
► After every assembly, check the proper mounting of the rear wheels. The wheel axles must be securely locked in
the fitting.
► Pay attention in particular to the stability against tipping, free running of the rear wheel and correct function of the
brakes.
► Check the tyre inflation pressure. The correct air pressure is printed on the sidewall of the tyre. For rear wheels,
the minimum air pressure is 7 bar. Ensure that both tyres are inflated to the same pressure.
INFORMATION
For details of weights of the individual parts, see chapter "Technical Data".
For details of dismantling/transport, see chapter "Dismantling / transport".
A few simple steps are sufficient to prepare the wheelchair for use:
1) Push the rear wheels into the fitting (see Fig. 4). It must not be possible to pull off the wheel shafts when the button
is released.
2) Loosen the safety strap (see Fig. 5).
3) Unfold the wheelchair (see Fig. 6).
INFORMATION When standing next to the wheelchair, tip it slightly toward you and press on the edge of the seat
cover closest to you.
4) Fold the footrest(s) down. When using a single-panel footrest, be sure the support of the footplate is engaged in
the mounting (see Fig. 7).
5) Fit the seat cushion (see Fig. 8). The seat cushion can be secured against sliding by pressing it onto the Velcro
fastener.
