in the tiller.

Make sure the 

Excite Galaxy

 is always turned off and in freewheel position before making a transfer. 

 

move the rotion lever upwards to unlock the chair (picture 32) 

 

next, turn the chair 90º left or right. The chair will automatically lock on every 45º if you release 
the rotation lever (picture 32) 

 

take place on the chair and turn it back to the starting position. The chair is fitted with flip-
backward armrests. These can be flipped away to be able to make an easy side transfer. Always 
make sure to flip the armrests back in the original position when seated.
