How to use

To prepare the wheelchair for use, unfold the frame by pressing down on the seat rails until they are fully locked. Ensure the footrests are 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. When transferring the user, lift the armrests to provide clear access. Once the user is seated, ensure the footrests are in the correct position and the armrests are locked. During transit, the attendant can use the handle-mounted brakes to control speed and ensure safety on slopes.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 46 cm seat width is appropriate for the user's body dimensions
• Verify that the total width of 64 cm fits through your home or facility doorways
• Confirm that the intended use is primarily on smooth, level surfaces
• Check that the attendant is capable of operating the braking system effectively

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the tyre pressure of the rear wheels to ensure a smooth ride and check that all locking mechanisms are functioning correctly. Always keep the seat and backrest clean by removing them for washing as needed, and ensure the footrests are swung aside or removed during transfers to prevent tripping.
