Handling
Folding up
(6.1)
First remove the seat cushion from
the wheelchair and flip up the
(platform) footplate or the individu-
al footplates. Take hold of the sling
from underneath in the middle and
pull upwards. The wheelchair will
then fold up. To fold your
wheelchair until it is as small as
possible, e.g., to put into a car, you
can remove the footrests (depen-
ding on the model). For this purpo-
se, open the latch from the outside
and swing the footrest to the side.
Then the footrest only has to be
drawn out of the frame tubing.
Unfolding
Open the strap on folded frame
prior to unfolding.
Press down on the seat tubing
(see picture). Your wheelchair is
then unfolded. Now snap the seat
tubing into position in the seat
saddle. This can be facilitated by
slightly tipping your wheelchair. In
this way, the weight can be taken
off of one rear wheel so that the
wheelchair can be more easily
unfolded. Be careful not to get
your fingers caught in the cross-
tube assembly.
Quick-Release Axles
for Rear Wheels
(6.2)
The rear wheels are equipped with
quick-release axles. The wheels
can thus be installed or removed
without using tools. To remove a
wheel, simply depress the quick-
release button on the axle (1) and
pull it out.
CAUTION:
Hold the quick-release button on
the axle depressed when inser-
ting the axle into the frame to
mount the rear wheels. Release
the button to lock the wheel in
place. The quick-release button
should snap back to its original
position.
Option – Tipping Tubes
Tipping Tubes
(7.1)
Tipping tubes are used by atten-
dants to tip a wheelchair over an
obstacle. Simply step on the tube
to push a wheelchair, for example,
over a curb or step.

Options – Brakes
Wheel Locks
(7.10)
Your wheelchair is equipped with
two wheel locks. They are applied
directly against the tires. To enga-
ge, press both wheel-lock levers
forward against the stops (Fig. 1).
To release the wheel, pull the
levers back to their original posit-
ions.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tire tread
• Tire pressure that is too low
• Wet tires
• Improperly adjusted wheel
locks.
The wheel locks have not been
designed to be used as brakes for
a moving wheelchair. The wheel
locks should therefore never be
used to brake a moving
wheelchair. Always use the hand-
rims for braking. Make sure that the interval bet-
ween the tires and wheel locks complies with given
specifications (Fig. 2). To readjust, loosen screw (1)
and set the appropriate interval. Tighten screw (see
the page on torque).
CAUTION:
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check
the interval to the wheel locks and readjust if
necessary.
Extension for the Brake Lever
(7.11)
The extension for the brake lever
can be removed or folded down.
The longer lever helps to minimize
the effort needed to set the wheel
locks.
Caution:
Mounting the wheel lock too
close toward the wheel will
result in a higher effort to opera-
te. This might cause the brake lever extension to
break!
Leaning onto the brake lever extension while trans-
ferring will cause the lever to break! Splashing water
from tires might cause the wheel lock to malfunc-
tion.
Drum Brakes
(7.13)
Drum brakes permit safe and con-
venient braking for an attendant.
They can also be set with the aid
of a locking lever (1) to prevent rol-
ling. This lever must snap audibly
into place. Drum brakes do not
independent on the aid of air pres-
sure inside the tires. Your
wheelchair cannot be moved when
the drum brakes are set.
CAUTION:
Drum brakes should only be
adjusted by authorized dealers.
