Wheel brakes
The brakes are not to be used to slow down the chair.
Do not apply the brake while the chair is moving.
Centre of gravity
The chair has been designed with the centre of gravity in front of
the axis of rotation of the rear wheel. This makes it easier to manoeuvre
the chair and prevents it from tipping over.

Anti-tip wheels (optional)

The function of this safety device is to prevent the
wheelchair from tipping over backwards. We recom-
mend the use of anti-tip wheels at all times.
Leaning forwards or backwards
centre the front wheels, apply the parking brake and do not lean
beyond the armrest.
Falls from wheelchair
If the chair tips over, position yourself
in front of it and use your upper members
to get in the correct position in the chair.
Then ask another person to lift up the
chair.
USER MANUAL

Use both handrims, turning them in opposite directions.
Sloping flat (side position)

Turning
Hold the handrim on the side towards which you
want to turn still and use the other handrim to turn.
These movements could tip the chair over. Conse-

backwards, keep your back against the back of the
chair at all times and make sure the front wheels
are pointing forwards. If you need to lean forwards,
