How to use

To prepare the wheelchair for use, unfold the frame by pressing down on the seat rails until fully extended. Attach the footrests by aligning them with the frame brackets and swinging them into the forward position. Before the user sits down, ensure the parking brakes are engaged by pushing the brake levers forward. When transferring the user, the armrests can be removed if necessary. Once the user is seated, adjust the footrests to the appropriate height to ensure the knees are at a 90-degree angle. Always ensure the user is centered and the seatbelt, if applicable, is fastened before moving.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 48 cm seat width is appropriate for the user's body size.
• Verify that the 120 kg weight capacity meets the user's requirements.
• Confirm that the attendant is capable of maneuvering the chair, as it is not self-propelled.
• Check the dimensions to ensure the chair fits through your home's doorways.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the brakes and frame for any signs of wear. Clean the frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals. Store the wheelchair in a dry, indoor environment to prevent corrosion and protect the materials from extreme weather conditions.
