4.1 Preparing for use
4.1.1 Unfolding
To unfold your wheelchair, follow the steps below:
1. Hold the push handles and fold up the back joints until you hear them click into
place. (See Figure 4.1.)
2. Hold the armrests and pull outwards. (See Figure 4.2.)
3. Point your fingers inwards with the palm of your hand on the frame, and push it
down until the seat is fully lowered. Make sure the frame is firmly seated in its
holder. (See Figure 4.3.)
CAUTION
When completing the step above, never put your fingers around the sides or under the
wheelchair, as they can be trapped between the seat and the frame. (See Figure 4.4.)
4. Flip the footplates down. (See Figure 4.5.)
