CAUTION!
Braking power can be
affected by incorrect fitting and
adjustment of the brakes, as well as tyre pressure which is too
low.
Wheel Locks
Your wheelchair is equipped with two wheel locks. They are
applied directly against the tyres. To engage, press both wheel
lock levers forward against the stops. To release the locks, pull
the levers back to their original positions.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• Wet tyres
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks.
2.0 Handling
Brakes
Quick-release axles on rear
wheel
The rear wheels are equipped with
quick-release axles.
The wheels can thus be installed or
removed without using tools.
To remove a wheel, simply depress
the quick-release button on the axle
(1) and pull it out (Fig. 2.1).
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.
Step Tubes
Step Tubes
Step tubes are used by attendants to push a wheelchair over an
obstacle. Simply step on the tube to push a wheelchair, for
example, over a kerb or step.
WARNING!
Sunrise Medical strongly recommends the use of a step tube on
any model where attendant use is the predominant intended
use. Damage to the backposts may occur if you constantly use
the backpost without a step tube, as a lever to pull back on to tip
the wheelchair.

Transporting the wheelchair
Removing the rear wheels will keep the wheelchair as compact
as possible. The backrest can be folded down by pulling the cord
(1) (see picture 3.2) located on the backrest (Fig. 3.1 and 3.2).
Getting into your wheelchair on your own
• Push the wheelchair to a wall or a solid piece of furniture
• Apply the brakes
• The user can lower themselves into the wheelchair
• Then position the feet in front of the heel straps
(Fig. 4.1).
Getting out of your wheelchair on your own
• Apply the brakes
• With one hand on the wheel or side guard, the person should
lean forwards slightly, to transfer the body weight to the front
edge of the seat and then push up to an upright position with
both feet firmly on the floor and one foot behind the other (Fig.
4.2).
