1.1 Unfolding the wheelchair
The wheelchair is designed so that it can easily be
unfolded. To do this place one hand on each side of the
raised seat and press down until the seat is horizontal
and clicks in to place (see fig. 2).
Fix the rear push bar in to place by attaching to the
handles at the rear of the wheelchair (see fig. 3).
1.2 Attaching the foot rests
To attach the foot rests, start with the foot rest at 90°
to the frame, then place the top of the foot rest over the
black plastic mounting bushes on the front of the frame
and push downwards until the foot rest is located. Once
attached, swivel the foot rest inwards through 90° until
there is an audible click and the foot rest is aligned with
the frame. Note the foot supports must be pointing inside
the frame (see fig. 4).
1.3 Folding the wheelchair
Release the rear push bar by unscrewing the black caps
screwed in to the handles at the rear of the chair. Fully
remove one screw cap but only loosen the other. The
horizontal push bar will then drop in to a vertical position
to allow the wheelchair to be folded (the rear push bar
can be fully removed if required by removing both black
screw caps from the handles). Ensure the foot rests are
removed. Grasp the chair at the front and back of the
seat and pull upwards and the wheelchair should fold
easily (see fig. 5).
