Handling
Folding up
(6.1)
First remove the seat cushion from
the wheelchair and flip up the
(platform) footplate or the individu-
al footplates. Take hold of the sling
from underneath in the middle and
pull upwards. The wheelchair will
then fold up. To fold your
wheelchair until it is as small as
possible, e.g., to put into a car, you
can remove the footrests (depend-
ing on the model). For this purpo-
se, open the latch from the outside
and swing the footrest to the side.
Then the footrest only has to be dra-
wn out of the frame tubing.
Unfolding
Press down on the seat tubing (see
picture). Your wheelchair is then
unfolded. Now snap the seat tubing
into position in the seat saddle. This
can be facilitated by slightly tipping
your wheelchair. In this way, the
weight can be taken off of one rear
wheel so that the wheelchair can
be more easily unfolded. Be careful not to get your
fingers caught in the cross-tube assembly.
Quick-Release Axles
for Rear Wheels
(6.2)
The rear wheels are equipped with
quick-release axles. The wheels
can thus be installed or removed
without using tools. To remove a
wheel, simply depress the quick-
release button on the axle (1) and
pull it out.
CAUTION:
Hold the quick-release button on
the axle depressed when inser-
ting the axle into the frame to mount the rear
wheels. Release the button to lock the wheel in
place. The quick-release button should snap
back to its original position.
Options – Step Tubes
Step Tubes
(7.1)
Step tubes are used by attendants
to tip a wheelchair over an
obstacle. Simply step on the tube
to push a wheelchair, for example,
over a kerb step.

Options – Brakes
Wheel Locks
(7.10)
Your wheelchair is equipped with
two wheel locks. They are applied
directly against the tyres. To
engage, press both wheel-lock
levers forward against the stops
(Fig. 1 and 2). To release the wheel,
pull the levers back to their original
positions.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• Wet tyres
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks.
The wheel locks have not been
designed to be used as brakes for
a moving wheelchair. The wheel
locks should therefore never be
used to brake a moving
wheelchair. Always use the hand-
rims for braking. Make sure that
the interval between the tres and
wheel locks complies with given
specifications (Fig. 1 and 2). To
readjust, loosen screw (1) and set
the appropriate interval. Tighten
screw (see the page on torque)
CAUTION:
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check
the interval to the wheel locks and readjust if
necessary.
Extension for the wheel lock
Lever
(7.11)
The longer lever helps to minimise
the effort needed to set the wheel
locks.
CAUTION:
Mounting the wheel lock too
close toward the wheel will
result in a higher effort to
operate. This might cause the
wheel lock extension lever to
break!
Leaning onto the wheel lock extension lever while
transferring will cause the lever to break! Splashing
water from tyres might cause the wheel lock to
malfunction.
Drum Brakes
(7.13)
Drum brakes permit safe and
convenient braking for an
attendant. They can also be set
with the aid of a locking lever (1) to
prevent rolling. This lever must
snap audibly into place. Drum
brakes are not dependent on the
aid of air pressure inside the tires.
Your wheelchair cannot be moved
when the drum brakes are set.
CAUTION:
Drum brakes should only be adjusted by
authorized dealers.
