Transfer - Ottobock M1 Intro Gebrauchsanweisung

Transportation
For more manageable transportation, e.g. in cars, the footrests can be swung outwards or be
entirely removed in just a few easy steps.
To swing away or remove the footrest, pull the handle to the rear (Fig. 7). The footrest with foot-
plate can then be swung away to the inside or outside by 90° (Fig. 8), or be swung away and
removed by pulling upward.
INFORMATION
During reassembly, ensure that the footrest locking device has engaged.
Transportation is greatly facilitated by the removable quick-release axles on the rear wheels (in-
cluded in the standard version).
To remove the rear wheels, press the quick-release axle button, as described in section 3. The
rear wheels can then be removed. (Fig. 1).
CAUTION
Accident risk. During assembly, confirm that all bolts engage in the corresponding bore holes and that
the quick-release axles of the rear wheels and casters securely lock into their axle housings. The rear
wheels and casters must not be removable without the button being depressed! Check the function
of the wheel locks.

4.1 Transfer

Transfer into the wheelchair is described below. The lightweight wheelchair is designed for per-
sons who normally move around in the wheelchair independently. Therefore, the independent
transfer is described. Should you require an attendant, the steps described here are carried out
correspondingly but with support.
Manoeuvre the wheelchairs so that they are positioned at an angle of approx. 45° degrees to
each other (Fig. 9). Ensure that the wheel locks do not get caught in each other but remain
freely movable. First activate the wheel locks of the wheelchair that is currently in use (Fig. 10).
