Page 7: Safety And Operation
All the wheelchair parts and components are original and must not be replaced by other spareparts parts available on the market. The use of any part that is not an original Minos part renders the chair guarantee null and void. Please consult your distributor before replacing spare parts and/or components. - Page 8 Easy downward gradient Keep your back straight and use the handrim to move forward. Light upward gradient Bend your back forwards slightly and use the handrim to move forward. Turning round Use both handrims, turning them in opposite directions. Inclined plane (side position) Keep the side of the body slightly angled towards the higher part of the slope.
- Page 9 Leaning forwards or backwards These movements could tip the chair over. Consequently, we recommend you make no sudden movements under any circumstances. If you need to lean backwards, keep your back against the back of the chair at all. If you need to lean forwards, make sure that the front wheels point forwards to give maximum support.

Tyres Make sure that the tyres have the pressure recommended on the tyre wall. Correct tyre pressure is essential for the manoeuvrability of the chair. The correct pressure also affects the performance of the parking brake. Street use Make sure at all times that your manoeuvres can be seen by passers-by, especially by vehicles if you have to cross the road. - Page 11 RECYCLING AND PACKAGING The cardboard in which the wheelchair is packaged is 100% recyclable. Please dispose of it in a rubbish container especially for cardboard.

- Page 12 The down axle of the front fork must always be at 90º angle with the floor. A template is provided with each chair to check the perpendicularity. Use a 5 mm allen key and undo the bolt half a turn (see picture). Then we need a second 5 mm allen key to complete the adjustment.
- Page 13 Adjusting the position of the wheelchair handles without modifying the position of the rear wheel bracket The MINOS GLOBAL wheelchair allows to move the handles of the wheelchair without modifying the position of the rear wheel bracket. This is useful if we need to exchange the standard sling backrest upholstery for a rigid backrest without losing seat depth.
- Page 14 Reclining backrest (Optional) The MINOS GLOBAL wheelchair offers a reclining backrest as an option (the reclining range is from -6º to 10º). To recline the wheelchair backrest we have to turn both knobs clockwise.
