correct locking action BEFORE actual use.
Removal of Swingaway Footrest/Legrest – Release the lock by pushing on the front rigging lever. Swing the
footrest/legrest outward and sideways. Lift up on the assembly to remove the footrest or legrest.
Adjusting length of the Footrest/Legrest - When adjusting the length of the footrest/legrest, the wheelchair user
should be sitting in the wheelchair with his/her feet on the footplates. Loosen the bolt on the clamp around the support
assembly. Raise or lower the footplate as needed to provide maximum support of the thighs on the seat upholstery.
The front rigging should not be lowered to the point that it causes pressure to thighs at front of seat upholstery. The
footrest should not be closer than 2 ½” from the ground to ensure proper clearance.
Adjusting/Elevating Legrest - Lift up on the legrest assembly on the footplate to the desired height or position.
Release the legrest assembly and it will automatically lock in place. To lower, push out on legrest lever and slowly
lower the footplate until the desired position is reached.
Removable Arms - To remove the arms, depress the spring button and lift the arm out of the front and rear sockets.
Adjusting to Hemi Height (lowering the rear frame by 2 inches)
Step 1: Depress the quick release button on the wheel hub and pull off the wheel and quick release the axle from the
standard height axle hole.
Step 2: Remove the plastic plug on the hemi height axle hole and insert into the standard height axle hole.
Step 3: Insert the quick release axle with the wheel into the hemi height axle hole. Push in all the way. Make sure the
quick release button pops out all the way and the two bearings are fully showing.
(Caution: Never attempt to use the 24” large wheel on the Transport Chair axle hole position.)
Caution: Stability – The wheelchair is designed to be safe and stable as long as you maintain your center of gravity
in the chair. Never reach for objects that require you to shift in the seat or bend over out of the chair. Whenever
reaching for objects that require you to lean, make sure the front casters are pointing in a forward position, which
extends the wheel base and will help stabilize the chair.
Ramps – Know your own capabilities and limitations in terms of strength and endurance before attempting to go up a
ramp. You and your attendant should first consult a qualified professional for correct techniques on ramp negotiation.
Assistance is recommended when going up or down steep inclines greater than 10%. If it becomes necessary to stop
on an incline, avoid sudden, abrupt forward movement when you resume propelling the chair. Because of the
backward angle of the chair, sudden abrupt movement could cause instability. Attempting to use the wheel lock
brakes could result in accidental locking, veering or tipping to one side, or suddenly stopping. Avoid changing
direction when going down an incline, as this could cause instability.
Maintenance
It is highly recommended that the wheelchair be taken to a qualified dealer annually for a thorough inspection
and maintenance/repair service.
General Care- Wipe off the chrome parts at least once a week using a clean, soft cloth. Clean all metal parts with
auto wax or similar products. Dry the chair immediately if exposed to moisture. Do not use abrasive cleanser or
materials that will scratch the finish off the chair.
