Handling

Folding up (6.1)
First remove the seat cushion from
the wheelchair and flip up the
(platform) footplate or the individu-
al footplates. Take hold of the sling
from underneath in the middle and
pull upwards. The wheelchair will
then fold up. To fold your
wheelchair until it is as small as
possible, e.g., to put into a car, you
can remove the footrests (depen-
ding on the model). For this purpo-
se, open the latch from the outside
and swing the footrest to the side.
Then the footrest only has to be
drawn out of the frame tubing.
Unfolding
Open the strap on folded frame
prior to unfolding.
Press down on the seat tubing
(see picture). 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. In this way, the
weight can be taken off of one rear wheel so that
the wheelchair can be more easily unfolded. Be
careful not to get your fingers caught in the cross-
tube assembly.
Quick-Release Axles for Rear
Wheels (6.2)
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.
CAUTION:
Hold the quick-release button on
the axle depressed when inser-
ting 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.
Quick-Release Axles for Casters
(6.3)
Casters can also be equipped with
quick-release axles (1), which can
then either be installed or removed
without using tools.

Options – Tipping Tubes
Tipping Tubes (7.1)
Tipping tubes are used by atten-
dants to tip a wheelchair over an
obstacle. Simply step on the tube
to push a wheelchair, for example,
over a curb or step.
Options – Brakes
Wheel Locks (7.10)
Your wheelchair is equipped with
two wheel locks. They are applied
directly against the tires. To enga-
ge, press both wheel-lock levers
forward against the stops (Fig.
10.1 and 10.3). To release the
wheel, pull the levers back to their
original positions.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tire tread
• Tire pressure that is too low
• Wet tires
• 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 interval between the tires and
wheel locks complies with given
specifications (Fig. 10.2 and 10.4).
To readjust, loosen screw (1) and
set the appropriate interval. Tigh-
ten screw (see the page on torque)
CAUTION:
After each adjustment of the
rear wheels, check the interval
to the wheel locks and readjust
if necessary.
