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 until the
folding bracket (Fig. 4.2) clicks
into place.
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 the release lever of
the folding bracket (Fig. 4.3)
downwards and 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 (Fig. 4.4),
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.
Transporting the Wheelchair
When transporting the unoccupied wheelchair in a vehicle, it
should be tied down or strapped in.
