How to use

To use the Kid-man LightMan START, ensure the wheelchair is fully unfolded and the seat is locked in place. Before attempting to sit down or stand up, always engage the side parking brakes on both wheels to prevent the chair from rolling. Adjust the footrests to your preferred height and ensure they are rotated outward during transfers. When moving, use the rear driving arcs for self-propulsion or utilize the push handles if an attendant is assisting you.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 54 cm seat width is appropriate for the user's measurements.
• Verify that the total width of 71 cm fits through the doorways in your home or workplace.
• Confirm that the 150 kg weight capacity meets your specific requirements.
• Consider the weight of the chair if you plan to transport it frequently in a vehicle.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the parking brakes and ensure the anti-tip wheels are correctly adjusted for the terrain you frequent. Keep the frame clean and dry to maintain the integrity of the aluminum structure and ensure smooth operation of the folding mechanisms.
