Folding the wheelchair
To fold the wheelchair, firstly fold up the
footplates.
If needed, the footrests can be removed for easy
storage; to remove the footrests, pull the lever
on the back of the leg support and swing the
footrests outwards, then simply lift up on the
footrest assembly to remove.
Detach the padded seat cushion by pulling firmly.
Detach the backrest by removing the hook and
loop fastener attachment from underneath the
seat and remove.
Pull up on the centre of the seat by gripping the
front and rear edges with both hands – the sides
of wheelchair then fold inwards.
To protect the seat during transportation or
storage, push the folded seat back down so it
is positioned between the wheels for added
protection.
Transportation & Storage
Removing the rear wheels
To remove the rear drive wheels for
maintenance, transport or storage, tilt the
wheelchair so the wheel to be removed is lifted
off the ground.
Using your thumb, press the button in the
centre of the wheel hub to release the lock, and
gently pull the drive wheel out of the bracket.
Repeat for the other wheel.
To re-attach the drive wheels, press the button
in the centre of the wheel hub and insert the
wheel axle into the bracket until it clicks into
place. Ensure the wheel is firmly secured into
place before using the wheelchair.
