Handling

FOLDING UP

First remove the seat cushion and the

back seat shell (only on Comfort

Version) from the wheelchair and flip

up the (platform) footplate or the

individual footrests. Take hold of the

sling or the seat tubes in the middle,

from the back and pull upwards. Take

hold of the sling or the seat tubes in

the middle, from the back and pull

upwards. To fold your wheelchair so

that it is as small as possible, e.g., to

put into a car, you can remove the

footrests (depending on the model).

For this purpose, open the latch from the outside and swing the

footrest to the side. Then the footrest only has to be drawn out of the

receiver tube. (Fig. 1).

TRANSPORTATION

When transporting the chair, you must lift the folded chair by holiding

it at the front cross-brace assembly and the push handles.

UNFOLDING

Press down 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, 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. Refit the seat and the

back seat shell. (Fig. 2).

CAUTION!

Make sure that the back seat shell is clicked in place correctly..

GETTING INTO YOUR WHEELCHAIR INDEPENDENTLY

(FIG. 3)

• The wheelchair should be pushed up against

a wall or solid piece of furniture;

• The brakes should be on;

• The footplates should be hinged up;

• The user can then lower himself into the chair;

• The footplates should then be pushed down

and the feet rested on them in front of the

heel loops.

GETTING OUT OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR

INDEPENDENTLY (FIG. 4)

• The brakes should be on;

• The hinged footplates should be hinged up;

• With one hand on each armrest, the person

should bend slightly forward to bring the body

weight to the front of the seat, and with both

feet firmly on the ground, one foot well back,

push up into the upright position.

WARNING!

• When standing, do not stand on the footplates or the

wheelchair will tip up. It is easier and safer to get into your

wheel chair if you turn the footplates up and out of the way or

take them off the wheelchair.

• Always engage the wheel brakes when transfering in or out of

the wheelchair.

Options - Brakes

Options – Step Tubes

STEP TUBES

Tipping tubes are used by attendants

to tip a wheelchair over an obstacle

Simply step on the tube to push a

wheelchair, for example, over a kerb

or step (Fig. 6).

CAUTION!

Sunrise Medical strongly recommends the use of a step tube on

transit wheeled models and also on any model where attendant use

is the predominant intended use, as damage to the backposts may

occur if you pull back on them to tip the wheelchair, in order to

overcome obstacles.

WHEEL LOCKS

Your wheelchair is equipped with two

wheel locks. They are applied directly

against the tyres. To engage, press both

brake 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

The wheel locks have not been designed

to be used as brakes for a moving

wheelchair. The wheel locks should

therefore never be used to brake a moving

wheelchair. Always use the hand-rims for

braking. Make sure that the gap between

the tyres and wheel locks complies with

given specifications. To readjust, loosen

the screw and set the appropriate gap.

Then re-tighten the screw (Fig. 7-8).

CAUTION!

After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel lock gap

and re-adjust if necessary.

Brake lever extension

The extension for the brake lever can be

removed or folded down. The longer lever

helps to minimise the effort needed to set

the wheel locks (Fig. 9).

QUICK-RELEASE AXLES ON REAR WHEEL

The rear wheels are equipped with

quick-release axles. The wheels

can thus be fitted or removed without

using tools. To remove a wheel, simply

depress the quick-release button on

the axle (1) and pull the wheel off the

axle (Fig. 5).

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
