Only grip the components shown when folding or collapsing the wheelchair.
Your wheelchair is usually delivered fully assembled, folded, and with the rear wheels re-
moved.
A few simple steps are sufcient to prepare it for use:
1.
When folding or unfolding the wheelchair, hold it only at the indicated positions (otherwise
there is risk of injury).
2.
Loosen the safety strap (Fig. 4). While standing next to the wheelchair, tip it slightly toward
you and press on the edge of the seat upholstery closest to you. The wheelchair will unfold
up to its entire seat width (Fig. 1).
3. Flip the footplate down (Fig. 2).

When using a single-panel footrest, be sure the support of the footplate is locked into
the receiver.
The rear wheels have been pre-positioned according to your indications.
Before using the wheelchair, this pre-adjusted position must be checked by the wheelchair user
for function and stability against tipping with the assistance of skilled staff.
