How to use

To prepare the wheelchair for use, unfold the frame by pressing down on the seat upholstery until it locks into position. Ensure the footrests are securely attached and adjusted to the appropriate height for the user. Before the user sits down, always engage the parking brakes located above the rear wheels to prevent the chair from moving. When transferring the user, swing the footrests to the side or remove them to create clear access. Once the user is seated, ensure they are positioned comfortably and that the armrests are properly secured.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 38 cm seat width is appropriate for the user's body measurements.
• Verify that the total width of 58 cm fits through your home or facility doorways.
• Confirm that the intended use is for attendant-assisted mobility rather than self-propulsion.
• Check the weight capacity to ensure it meets the user's requirements.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the brakes and wheel integrity to ensure safe operation. Keep the frame clean and dry, and store the wheelchair in a protected area when not in use to maintain its longevity.
