Folding - Transport - Otto Bock Start series User Manual

4 Folding – Transport
INFORMATION!
Flip up the footplates. Grab the seat upholstery at the front and the back in the middle
and pull it upwards. The wheelchair then folds into itself (Fig. 3).
INFORMATION!
Once the wheelchair is folded, secure the strap of the folding fixture with the snap
fastener. This will prevent the wheelchair from unfolding unexpectedly (Fig. 3A).
For more manageable transportation, e.g. in cars, the footrests can be swung inwards
or outwards or be entirely removed.
INFORMATION!
To move or remove the footrest, pull the lock release assist (Fig. 4) to the rear.
The footrest with footplate can then be swung inwards or outwards or be removed
by pulling it upward.
INFORMATION!
During reassembly, ensure that the footrest locking device has engaged. Transporta-
tion is greatly facilitated by the removable quick-release axles on the rear wheels
(included in the standard version) (Fig. 5).
