How to use

To use the wheelchair, ensure the frame is fully unfolded and locked into position. Before sitting down or standing up, always engage the side parking brakes to prevent the chair from moving. Adjust the footrests to your preferred height and ensure the calf strap is securely positioned. When maneuvering, use the rear driving arcs for self-propulsion or have an attendant use the push handles. To fold the chair for storage, remove the footrests if necessary and pull up on the center of the seat upholstery to collapse the frame.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 42 cm seat width is appropriate for the user's body size.
• Ensure the 125 kg weight capacity meets the user's requirements.
• Check if the overall width of 62 cm fits through the doorways in your home or workplace.
• Consider the intended terrain, as solid tires perform best on flat, even surfaces.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the parking brakes and ensure the quick-release mechanisms are clean and free of debris. Periodically check that all adjustment knobs for the footrests and seat height are tightened securely to maintain optimal stability during use.
