BraunAbility EASISIT, User Manual

Fit and use

Fitting and using EasiSit - wheelchair tie-down

Releasing the wheelchair
1.  Simultaneously lift the 

red handle (Fig 6D) on 
the seat back and raise 
the yellow foot pedal with 
your toe  
(Fig 6C). 

2.  Release the wheelchair 

brakes and move the 
wheelchair away from the 
EasiSit.

3.  Reapply the brakes. 
4.  Unfasten the karabiner(s) 

from the wheelchair 
frame, allow the straps 
to retract to their storage 
position and clip over the 
EasiSit front leg cross rail 
(Fig 6E).

5.  Depress the foot pedal to 

remove any possible trip 
hazard.

1. 

If the EasiSit is set as a seat, lift the armrest(s), if fitted, into an upright 

position and fold the seat cushion (Fig 6A).

2.  Position the wheelchair at a convenient distance in front and away from 

the EasiSit, pull out each retractable strap and attach karabiner to the 
wheelchair mainframe. (Some manufacturers may indicate attachment 
points on the wheelchair frame).

3.  Move the wheelchair up to the EasiSit. Stand behind the EasiSit and guide 

the wheelchair up to and against the telescopic stand-off bar (Fig 6B), 
adjusting it for width/height if required. Height adjustment is achieved by 
releasing the two thumb screws and repositioning them along with the 
stand-off bar to the next row of holes. The standard position will generally 
be found to be the most suitable for the majority of wheelchairs.

4.  Once the wheelchair is hard up against the stand-off bar, depress the 

foot pedal (Fig 6C) fully until you hear a loud click as it locks in. Apply the 
wheelchair brakes.

5.  Test that the wheelchair is secured by leaning on and then lifting its 

handles. Neither the front castors nor the rear wheels should be able to 
lift off the ground.  If the wheelchair is felt not to be secured enough, it 
may be necessary to release the foot pedal and repeat step 4.
