Handling
The backrest can be swung for-
wards to enable transportation.
First remove the safety pin.
Secure the backrest so that it can-
not accidentally fall, then fold the
backrest forwards.
Caution!
The backrest must be secured/held before releasing it.
To get the backrest back into the upright position, fold the
backrest up and engage the bracket and securing pin.
Risk of injury may occur if the backrest is not
correctly clicked into the bracket!
Wheel locks
The wheelchair is equipped with
two wheel locks. The wheel locks
are applied directly against the
tyres. To engage, push both wheel
lock levers forward. To release the
wheel locks, pull the levers backwards.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• wet wheels
• improperly adjusted wheel locks
The wheel locks have not been designed to be used
as brakes. When moving, do not operate the wheel
locks.
Always use the
handrims
for braking.
Make sure that the gap between the wheel locks
and the tyres are correct.
To readjust, loosen screws holding the wheel locks and set the
appropriate gap and tighten screws again.
