ARMRESTS
The armrests (3) generally have padded
armrests. They are lockable and detach-
able, as well as adjustable in height,
(Fig. 24).
Benefits:
– Adjusting screws prevent the arm-
rests from inadvertently sliding out
– Mudguard
– Wind protection.
– Lateral support for body
– Relaxation of the shoulder muscles
due to padded height adjustable
armrests.
!
Attention:
Armrests are movable and remova-
ble parts which are not suitable for
lifting or carrying the wheelchair (see
warning note on the armrests).
Removing the armrests
– Switch off the wheelchair and move
the brake release lever to the "drive"
position. – This prevents the wheel-
chair from rolling away accidentally.
– Remove the armrest in an upwards
direction (Fig. 25). – This is carried
out by loosening the relevant adjust-
ing screw (B, Fig. 6) on the clamping
guide.

Remark:
The cable must be withdrawn care-
fully in the case of an armrest with a
control box!
!
Attention:
Removed armrests must be carefully
replaced before the wheelchair is
used again!
• Never use the wheelchair unless the
armrests are mounted.
SEAT UNIT
The seat unit can be swivelled down for
maintenance and repair work (Fig. 27).

swivel down the seat unit (Fig. 27).
!
Attention:
When swivelling down the seat unit,
the wheelchair must stand on a level
surface on which the push handle will
also rest (Fig. 27).

plate and/or the U-shaped bar to
swivel down the seat unit.
