3.0 Handling
Folding up (Fig. 3.0)
First remove the seat cushion from the wheelchair and
flip up the (platform) footplate or the individual footplates.
Take hold of the sling from underneath in the middle and
pull upwards. The wheelchair will then fold up. (Fig.3.0).
Unfolding (Fig. 3.1)
Open the strap on folded frame prior to unfolding.
Press down on the seat tubing (see picture). Your
wheelchair is then unfolded. Now snap the seat tubing
into position in the seat saddle. This can be facilitated by
slightly tipping your wheel chair. In this way, the weight
can be taken off of one rear wheel so that the wheelchair
can be more easily unfolded.
WARNING!
Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the cross-tube
assembly, (Fig.3.1).
Quick-Release Axles for Rear Wheels
(Fig.3.2)
The rear wheels are equipped with quick-release axles.
The wheels can thus be installed or removed with-
out using tools. To remove a wheel, simply depress
the quick-release button on the axle (1) and pull it out,
(Fig.3.2).
CAUTION!
Hold the quick-release button on the axle depressed
when inserting the axle into the frame to mount the rear
wheels. Release the button to lock the wheel in place.
The quick-release button should snap back to its original
position.
Setting the directional stability (Fig. 3.3)
Release the Allen screws (1) on the underside of the fork.
You can then undo the screw (2). You can now turn the
black socket (3) left or right.
Left – chair pulls to the left
Right – chair pulls to the right
Then tighten up the screw (2) again. Please set a 90°
angle from the fork to the floor.
Now tighten up the screw (1) again. (Fig. 3.3). Use
