Companion:

If the user is left alone in the wheelchair,
always lock the brakes and check that the 
anti tips are turned down.

Increase the underneath support of the
wheelchair by moving the chair about 10 
cm rearwards making the front castors 
turn forward.

How to use the companion brakes:

• To lock: Pull the handle upwards and push 
   the red handle into locking position.
• To open: Pull the handle a little more 
   up until the red handle is released and the   
   handle can be slipped back into position.
