5. Construction
Cobi Cruise is constructed from S355 high-tensile
steel. The rectangular steel profiles of the chair
form the basis for its base frame. The base frame
is made up of two mirror-inverted parts (a right
and a left part) connected by a centre module.
This structure allows the sides to be reused if the
width needs changing.
The seat frame of the wheelchair consists of
30x30x2 mm high-tensile steel profiles. In
addition, the seat frame has a 2 mm steel seat
plate attached to it, which helps to distribute the
pressure in the best possible way.
The back of the wheelchair consists of a high-
tensile steel profile. The profile is positioned
centrally on the back of the wheelchair. The angle
of the profile means that the back supports both
apple-shaped and the pear-shaped users. Three
back plates are mounted on the profile. The back
plates are curved to hug and support the user
from buttocks to neck.
Curved back plates support and hug the user from
buttocks to neck.
Pear-shaped users with voluminous backsides are
ensured good back support, as the design of the
"spine" of the wheelchair and its lower back plate
provide space for the backside.
The upper two back plates ensure that apple-
shaped users enjoy stable and comfortable back
support.
The back cushion is divided into nine modules,
which are sewn together into one large cushion.
All nine modules consist of two parts. A firm foam
layer and layer with a mixture of polystyrene
beads and latex foam.
The foam layer faces the back of the wheelchair
while the bead and foam layer are the one sat on
by the user. The bead and foam mixture are
modular and helps to increase the comfort of the
wheelchair and its pressure relieving effect.
Each of the nine back
cushion modules of the
back cushion consists
of a firm foam layer
and a layer of beads
and latex foam.
The back cushion is
made up of nine
modules sewn into one
large cushion.
The contents of in each cushion module can be
adjusted. This means that, according to
professional assessment, the therapist or care
staff can add or remove beads and latex foam. If
necessary, a wedge cushion can also be inserted
in one or more modules. The cushion contents are
adjusted via the nine zippers located on the back
of the cushion.
The modular cushion follows the shape of the
back plates and, thus, ensures correct support
regardless of user’s body shape and needs.
The modular cushion can be finely adjusted using
a patented FitGo system known from ski boots
and work shoes. The FitGo system is located on
the back plates.
The FitGo system comprises an adjusting knob. The
button is activated when pressed. If the button is to
be loosened, pull it upwards and the cord pull is
then released.
The
FitGo system should only be adjusted by care
staff as improper pressure distribution may harm
the user.

The base of the seat cushion consists of hard foam.
The core of the seat cushion consists of memory
foam specially selected for the target group.
The top consists of soft foam. The seat cushion is
upholstered with a flame retardant incontinence
cover.
5.1 The seat cushion
Extra-long armrests (615 mm) ensure stability and a
good grip when the user moves from a standing to
a sitting position or vice versa.
The armrests can swivel back, making it easier to
move the user from e.g., the chair to the bed. The
arm rests can also be pushed down making it
possible to move the wheelchair close to the edge
of a table, allowing the user to participate in social
activities there.
The armrests are padded for extra comfort and
"cup-shaped" thus reducing the risk of pressure
ulcers. Each armrest can withstand a maximum
load of up to 200 kg.
Caution: The user may fall out of the wheelchair if the
arm rest is pushed back
.
5.2 Armrests
The seat cushion is made up of three different types of foam.
Extra-long and strong arm rests.
Swivelling arm rests allow positioning near a table.
The leg rests each support up to 200 kg and are
adjustable in both height and position. They also
have a swivel function that allows easier access to
and from the wheelchair.
The angle of the foot plates, the height/angle of
the leg rest and the angle of the calf plates can be
adjusted without tools.
The position of the foot and calf plates is adjusted
using a 10 mm closed spanner and a Torx 25. The
closed spanner and the Torx is not included in the
purchase of leg rests.
The flexibility of the leg rests means that the
user's legs can always be supported. This benefit,
inter alia, users with a significant tissue on their
inner thighs.
The leg rests may be removed without the use of
tools without affecting stability.
Do not use the leg rests when getting in and out.
5.4 Leg rests
Leg rests each supporting up to 200 kg.
The leg rests can be dismantled without using tools.
The handlebar is flexible and adjustable, using a
click system. Major adjustments can be made with
tools. The bar has several grip points, depending
on whether the chair is to be pushed or
manoeuvred.
Ensure that the handlebar is in place.
5.3 Push bar

The wheelchair neck support is an option. The
wheelchair is supplied with a universal neck support
bracket, allowing for the installation of different types
of neck support.
5.5 Neck support
Cobi Cruise is equipped with two 24” drive
wheels. The drive wheels can be placed in five
different positions (with tools).
The two front positions are intended the active
user, who thereby gets easier access to the
wheels. The three rear positions are intended the
passive user who is not expected to drive the
wheelchair.
5.6 Wheels
A universal neck support bracket permits the
installation of several types of neck supports.
The two parking brakes are located on each side
of the frame and can be operated by both user
and caregivers.
The disc brakes are operated by means of a brake
lever mounted on the push bar. The brake lever
can only be operated by the caregiver.
5.9 Brakes
The Cobi Cruise has three actuators. Two seat
actuators and a back actuator. The two seat
actuators control the tilt-in-space function. The
seat actuators are installed under the seat.
The back actuator controls the recline function.
The back actuator is also installed under the seat.
5.8 Actuators
Two actuators (marked blue) control the tilt-in-space
function. One actuator (red) controls the recline
function.
The control box is installed on the base plate.
Dismantling the control box requires tools but
should only be undertaken by Cobi Rehab service
engineers.
The electronics are IPX6-classified. This means
that the wheelchair and its components can
withstand high pressure and heavy sprays of
water
.
The electronics of the wheelchair does not disturb
the operation of units in the surrounding
environment which emit electromagnetic fields,
e.g., alarm systems in shops, automated doors,
etc.
5.10 Control box
Cobi Cruise is installed with anti-tip that can be
adjusted to suit the terrain. Only remove the Anti-
tip when transporting the wheelchair without a
user.
Risk of tipping when anti-tip is removed.
5.7 Anti-tip
Cobi Cruise is equipped with both hand brakes and
disc brakes.

6. Electric tilt-in-space and recline
Negative tilt helps the independent user in safely
getting in and out of the wheelchair. Negative tilt
means that the front of the seat cushion is
lowered. This reduces the access height which, in
turn, makes getting in and out easier for the
independent user. The function negative tilt is
activated using the controller.
Recline provides the apple-shaped user with
supported and comfortable seating. When the
back of the wheelchair is tilted backwards, the
pelvis of the user is automatically opened. This
provides improved respiration for apple-shaped
users. The recline function is controlled using the
same controller as for the electric tilt-in-space
function.
Erroneous use of the tilt-in-space and recline
functions can lead to the user experiencing respiratory
difficulties, including users with impaired cognition.
Using the negative tilt function may cause the user
to slide forward.
The battery indicator is shown at the top of the
remote control. Be sure to charge the wheelchair
when the battery flashes in the red box.
The illustrations indicate which functions are
activated by pressing the arrows. The arrows on
the top illustration activate the recline function.
The wheelchair can recline from 90°-120°.
The arrows in the lower illustration activate the
tilt-in-space function from -4°-13°.
In the event of an irregularity, the RESET function
must be activated. Press and hold down the two
arrows, marked with a red dot, for 5 seconds,
after which the various functions can be accessed
again.
After a RESET procedure, it is important to check
that all three actuators are still functional. The
wheelchair can be damaged if, for example, one of
the seat actuators has a loose connection. Such a
loose connection can twist the wheelchair.
Misuse of the RESET button can damage the user
and wheelchair.
6.1 Controller
The controller has:
•
A battery indicator
•
Tilt-in-space function
•
Recline function

When the user is placed in the wheelchair for the
first time, the need for extra filling in the various
back modules must be professionally assessed.
If extra filling is needed, move the user out of the
wheelchair, after which professionally trained staff
adds or removes filling from the cushions in
question.
If additional support is needed, a wedge system
can be used. This assessment is made by
professionally trained staff during the actual
adjustment.
7. Before use
If the user can independently move from bed to
wheelchair:
•
Swivel the footrests to the sides
•
Adjust the seat angle to the needs of the user
•
The user sits in the wheelchair
•
Swing the footrests back into position if
required for the activity.
When moving a passive user from bed to
wheelchair using a sling:
•
Swivel the footrests to the sides if required by
the user
•
Adjust the seat angle to the needs of the user
•Adjust the hip angle of the backrest depending
on the needs of the user
•
Tilt the wheelchair backwards

Risk of crushing or getting caught
Be careful not to get the user’s tissue or fingers caught when adjusting the arm rests. This also applies when using
the swivelling function of the leg rests.
8. Possible adjustments
When the user is placed in the wheelchair for the
first time, the need for extra filling in the various
back modules must be professionally assessed. If
extra filling is needed, move the user out of the
wheelchair, after which professionally trained staff
adds or removes filling from the cushions in
question.
In addition, the tilt-in-space and recline function
enables changes in position and optimises the
conditions in connection with moving in and out
of the chair.
The seat depth can be adjusted in several ways,
e.g., by using the FitGo system or by adjusting
elements in the back cushion. In addition, the seat
depth can also be adjusted.
However, the latter adjustment requires a
technician. Cobi Rehab recommend completing
this before starting the specific adjustment.
Risk of fingers getting caught between the seat and
the frame when tilting.
Risk of tissue getting caught between arm rest and
back when reclining.
8.1 Adjusting the back module
Adjust leg rests to lower legs of the user. Adjust
the angle of the foot plates in relation to the
user's positioning of the feet. Adjust the calf
support to provide the user with both support
and relief of the calves.
The angle of the arm rests can be height-adjusted
and adjusted in a perpendicular position or in a
downward-facing position, allowing the user to
move close to a table. The arm rests can also be
pulled back in connection with the application
and/or removal of slings.
The above adjustments are made by pulling out
the button on the bracket at the front of the arm
rest.
The neck support bracket of the Cobi Cruise is
universal. This allows for the installation of the
most suitable neck support.
8.2 Other possible adjustments
Always measure the user when the user is seated.
If help is needed in terms of measuring the user,
please contact Cobi Rehab on telephone
[phone] or at [email protected].

When transporting Cobi Cruise, we strongly recommend adjusting the seat to 0° position as a minimum. If
possible, we recommend adjusting the seat to -4° position. We also recommend adjusting the back to 97° or less.
The Cobi Cruise is easy to clean. If the seat needs
disinfecting, remove, and disinfect it using ethanol
70-85% or a chlorine product of min. 1000 ppm
and max. 10000 ppm.
Clean the frame, seat and arm rests of the
wheelchair using water and a regular cleaning
agent.
Cobi Cruise comfort wheelchair can be
disinfected or washed in a laundry room at e.g., a

and max. 10000 ppm.
When the wheelchair is not in use, store in a dry
place at a temperature between -10°- 50°C.
The Cobi Cruise is suitable for land and/or air
transport (when not accommodating a user). The
Cobi Cruise cannot be folded as it has a fixed
frame. To avoid injuries to e.g., the back, we
advise against carrying the 100 kg wheelchair.
The wheelchair can be lifted by the frame if it is to
be transported (without a user) in a motorised
vehicle.
Cobi Cruise is not crash tested and can therefore
not be used as a passenger seat in motorized
vehicle.
10. Transport and storage
When storing the Cobi Cruise for longer periods
of time (3+ months), store the wheelchair at
0°-30° degrees and in a humidity not exceeding

We recommend charging the battery to 40–60%
prior to storage.
When putting the wheelchair into use again after
long-term storage, connect it to the supply and
charge it for a
t least two hours. Keep an eye on
the battery capacity as the wheelchair will
discharge over time.
