• For the 24" wheels it is necessary to mount regular wheelchair parking brakes as wheels are not equipped
with their own brakes. The brake assembly consists of mounting bracket, Brake Mechanism and 2 fixing
bolts.
Insert the sliding profile of the brake in to the smaller cut out of mounting bracket. Put the mounting bracket
•
on the horizontal side frame tube. Move the sliding profile to a position where the friction pin almost touches
the tire (Pic. 4). Tighten the fixing bolts, so the brake is stable and fixed.
• Repeat the assembly process for the other wheel.

Function description
Adjusting the height of the wheels
To adjust the height of wheels, remove the height adjustment bolt, slide the inner wheel assembly tube to match
one of the holes in the frame and fit the bolt through them. There are 3 height settings in steps of 2,5 cm, only the
lowest one using the top hole.
WARNING! All 4 wheels should be adjusted to the same height.
Usage of wheel brakes and 24" wheel brakes
To lock the wheel brakes press down on the pedal on the wheel assembly until it locks and repeat for the other
wheels. To unlock the pedal brakes, raise the pedal up with the tip of the foot and repeat for the other wheels.
To apply the 24" wheel brakes push the brake levers towards front of the chair. To release brakes pull the lever
towards back of the chair.
WARNING! Always engage the brakes when a user is sitting down on or getting up from the chair, leaving the chair
with a user in it, or putting the chair away, especially on slopes.
WARNING! The warnings above apply to the 24" wheel brakes! 24" wheel brakes (accessory) must both be engaged
when the chair is in a stationary use. They may not be used to brake while driving.
Adjusting the height of the seat
The seat height is dependent on height setting of the wheels. To adjust the seat height, change the height of the
wheels.
Adjusting the height of the headrest
To adjust the height of the headrest loosen the bolt on the clamp, adjust to the desired height and tighten it.
Using the armrests
The armrests can be easily lifted up and pushed back down. This feature can help make it easier for the user to get
in and out of the wheelchair. Raising the armrests makes it easier to perform personal hygiene while showering.
WARNING! Never leave chair unattended with armrests lifted when there is someone in it.
Footrest functionality
• To adjust the length of the footrest, loosen the footrest adjustment bolt. Move the footrest to the desired length
and tighten the bolt. Repeat for the other footrest.
• To remove the footrest, pull the footrest detaching lever. The footrest can be removed when turned away by
pulling it upwards. Repeat for the other footrest.
• The footplates can be folded upwards.
• These features can make it easier for the user to get in and out of the wheelchair, while also allowing for easier
personal hygiene while showering.
WARNING! Never move the chair with footrests detached when the user is on it. Always put user's feet on foot
plates when moving the chair.
WARNING! The length of footrests must be adapted to the height of the user.
NOTE: The length of footrests is correctly adjusted when while sitting the user sits on the wheelchair, the thighs rest
flat on the seat and both feet rest on the footplates.
Tilting the chair
To adjust or use the tilt function pull the lever located under the headrest on the backrest, adjust the angle of the
chair and release the lever.
WARNING! Never leave patient unattended in the chair with seat tilt adjusted to the maximum front or rear tilt
position.
