Velcro loop to fasten crutches or other aids
(Fig. 45).
CAUTION:

crutches or other aids while moving.

THERAPY TABLE
The tray provides a flat surface for

first has to be adjusted to the width of
the seat by an authorised dealer. The
user must be sitting in the wheelchair
during this adjustment (Fig. 46).

HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE PUSH
HANDLES
These handles are secured with pins
to prevent them from sliding out

push handles to a height which suits
you. After any adjustment to the
height of the push handles, pull the
release lever (1) until it is tight (Fig. 44).

wheelchair, the release lever (1)
must be pushed inwards and the
stabilising bar must be flipped
downwards. When unfolding the
wheelchair, please make sure that
the stabilising bar is locked into

TRANSIT WHEELS
Transit wheels
should be used wherever your wheelchair would be
too wide if the rear wheels were used (e.g., in
airplanes, buses, etc.). After the rear wheels have been
removed with the aid of the quick-release axles, the
transit wheels
can immediately be used to continue
riding. The
transit wheels
are mounted so that they
are approx. 3 centimeters above the ground when not
in use. They are thus out of the way when riding,
transporting or when tipping to pass over obstacles
(e.g., kerbs, steps, etc.) (Fig. 52).
CAUTION:
Your wheelchair does not have any wheel locks when
the transit wheels are being used.

To avoid injury, always make sure
that all connections are firmly in place.
