One Hand Operation
One Hand Operation
(Fig. 6.41 - 6.41.1)
To propel the chair straight forward both handrims must be used.
To fold the wheelchair disconnect the telescopic bar by pushing it
inward (1). To take off the wheels, press the locking button on the
axle (2).
CAUTION!
Make always sure that the connections are set properly to avoid
injuries.
Push handles
Height-Adjustable Push Handles (Fig. 6.42)
These handles are secured with pins to prevent them from sliding
out unintentionally. Opening the quickrelease lever makes it
possible to adjust the height of the push handles to meet your
individual needs. As you move the lever, you will hear a locking
mechanism; you may now easily position the push handle as
desired. The nut on the tension lever determines how tightly the
push handles are clamped into place. If the nut is loose after
adjusting the tension lever, the push handle will also be too
loose. Turn the push handle from side to side before use to make
sure that it is clamped securely enough into place. After adjusting
the handle height, always clamp the tension lever securely into
place. If the lever is not secure, injuries could result when
ascending stairs.
Push handle
Fold-Down Push Handles (Fig. 6.43)
If the push handles are not in use, they can be folded down by
depressing the button, (1). When they are needed again, simply
flip them back up until they click into place.
