4.0 Handling

Folding up
First remove the seat cushion from the wheelchair and flip up the (platform)
footplate. Take hold of the sling or the seat tubes (Fig. 4.1) in the middle,
from the back, and pull it upwards.
Transportation
To move the mobility aid, the folded wheelchair should be lifted by holding
the front part of the cross-brace and the push handles.
Unfolding
Push both frame halves apart. Then press on the seat tube (see figure). Your
wheelchair is then unfolded. Now snap the seat tubing into position in the
seat saddle. This can be facilitated by slightly tipping your wheelchair to the
side, as this means that the weight is taken off one of the rear wheels. Be
careful not to get your fingers caught in the cross-tube assembly. Fit
the seat cushion. (Fig. 4.2).
Getting into your wheelchair on your own (Fig. 4.3)
• Push the wheelchair to a wall or a solid piece of
furniture
• Apply the brakes
• Flip the footplates up
• The user can lower themselves into the wheelchair
• Fold the foot plates back downwards and position
your feet in front of the heel loops.
Getting out of your wheelchair on your own (Fig. 4.4)
• Apply the brakes
• Fold the footplates upwards with your foot
• With one hand on the armrest, the person should bend
slightly forward, to bring the body weight to the front of
the seat, and then with both feet firmly on the ground and one foot behind
the other, push up into the upright position.
WARNING!
• Do not stand on the foot plates during transfers. The wheelchair is likely to
tip to the front when standing on the foot plates.
• Always place your feet securely on the ground for transferring into or out of
the wheelchair.
• Always engage the wheel locks when transferring in or out of the
wheelchair.
