4.1 Getting in and out of your
wheelchair
Different handicaps allow more or less ma-
noeuvrability.
To get in and out of your wheelchair easily and
safely, the following tips can be helpful.
NOTE
To stop the wheelchair from rolling
or sliding away while getting
seated, it is helpful to place both
rear wheels against a wall.
04 DRIVE MODE
Getting into your wheelchair
1. Take off the leg rests (see chapter 4.4).
2. If possible, place the wheelchair’s rear wheels against a wall to
avoid any roll-off.
3. Apply both locking brakes.
4. Place yourself in front of the wheelchair. Then carefully move back-
wards until your legs touch the seat.
5. Now grab the armrest with your hands.
6. You can now sit down slowly and safely.
7. Put the leg rests back into place.
8. Fold the foot plates down (see chapter 3.4).
Getting out of your wheelchair
Carry the procedure out in the opposite sequence.
NOTE
To transfer sidewards, you can swing away the side panels
(Chapter 4.2, page 20).

20 21
DIETZ GmbH / Operating instructions standard wheelchair CANEO_B / Version 2.0.1. EN
4.2 Swivelling the side panels back
To swivel up, press the locking lever and pull
the side panel upwards.
The side panel engages automatically on swiv-
elling back.
This engagement is clearly audible.
4.3 Folding the foot plates up
Fold the foot plates up to make entering and
exiting easier.
The foot plates must be folded up to save
space when folding the wheelchair together.
04 DRIVE MODE
4.4 Swivelling away and detaching the
leg rests
To remove the leg rests, first fold the foot
plates up.
Now pull the locking lever (orange) and swivel
the leg support outwards.
The leg support can now be detached up-
wards.
Carry the procedure out in the opposite se-
quence during assembly.
When the leg support is swivelled forwards, it
can be clearly heard to engage.
04 DRIVE MODE

CAUTION
When propelling your wheelchair,
make sure that you do not touch
the tyre casing with your thumb.
Risk of trapping between the tyre
and side panel/armrest!
22 23
DIETZ GmbH / Operating instructions standard wheelchair CANEO_B / Version 2.0.1. EN
4.5 Propelling and slowing down the
wheelchair with the push rims
The wheelchair can be manoeuvred forwards,
rearwards and left to right by using the push
rims on the rear wheels.
Hold the push rim with your hand and move
the wheel to the front or rear.
Your thumb should lay on top while you grab
the push rim by making a fist.
To slow down the wheelchair, control the push
rim by letting it slide through your hand.
CAUTION
During hard braking manoeuvres
the pushrims can become quite
hot.
04 DRIVE MODE
4.6 Locking brake
The locking brake enables the user to park the
wheelchair securely.
Actuate the locking brake (tyre brake) when
stationary. To do this, push the lever forwards
until it stops independently. The wheelchair is
now standing securely; you can now transfer
or simply park.The locking brake is released by
pulling the lever backwards.
NOTE
Always apply both brakes together
to avoid any movement of the
wheelchair
While moving always slow down the wheel-
chair by using the push rims. The locking
brakes are only used for parking and can not
control the wheelchair at speed.
04 DRIVE MODE

24 25
DIETZ GmbH / Operating instructions standard wheelchair CANEO_B / Version 2.0.1. EN
4.7 Braking by an accompanying
person (optional)
While moving, slow down the wheelchair by
pulling both levers upwards. To park the chair
you can lock the brake levers. To do this, pull
up the lever and subsequently pull up the
small locking lever.
The locking lever will then engage automati-
cally.To release the brake simply pull the brake
lever upwards and the locking lever will re-
lease automatically.
The accompanying person can use the option-
al drum brake as a service and locking brake.
This is particularly advantageous when moving
on slopes. Movement can then be reduced by
applying the brake levers more or less strongly
as required. In addition, the drum brake can
also be used as a parking brake.
NOTE
Always use the left and right
brake simultaneously. Using only
one side will make the chair very
hard to manoeuvre.
CAUTION
In models without an optional
drum brake, the accompanying
person must be physically and
mentally able to stop the
wheelchair busing his own
strength. The locking brake is
then available as a parking brake.
04 DRIVE MODE
4.8 Anti-tip wheels (optional)
The optional anti-tip wheels prevent the
wheelchair from tipping backwards. They can
also be used to help tilt the chair by an accom-
panying person.
The height of the wheels can be adjusted. To
do this, pull the silver-coloured disks towards
you and slide the tube upwards or downwards
along the bracket.
4.9 Tilting aids
The tilting aids enable the accompanying per-
son to tilt the wheelchair and therefore move
it over obstacles more easily. Place your foot
onto the back of the frame tube and maintain
balance using the pushing handle.
Anti-tip supports can be optionally tted in-
stead of the rubber buffers; these can be used
as tilting aids and tipping protection to the rear.
04 DRIVE MODE

26 27
DIETZ GmbH / Operating instructions standard wheelchair CANEO_B / Version 2.0.1. EN
4.10 Transporting and folding together
Your wheelchair can be comfortably folded to-
gether for transportation or simply to save
space. It then takes up very little space and
can be easily stowed.
In addition, the rear wheels can also be easily
removed.
Detach the leg rests if necessary and release the
backrest lid from beneath the seat surface.Then
pull the seat cover up from the centre; the
wheelchair subsequently folds together auto-
matically.
To unfold the wheelchair, refer to the instruc-
tions under »05 Adjustments for individu-
al settings« from page 28.
NOTE
The CANEO_B is tested according
to ISO 7176-19 and can be used
as a seat in a passenger car.
04 DRIVE MODE
4.11 Safety belt (optional)
An optional safety belt can be installed. This
secures and stabilises the person seated in the
wheelchair. Tipping forwards out of the wheel-
chair is prevented.
The safety belt is secured to the backrest tube at
the rear right and left. Subsequent installation
should be carried out in a specialist workshop.
04 DRIVE MODE

28 29
DIETZ GmbH / Operating instructions standard wheelchair CANEO_B / Version 2.0.1. EN
05 ADJUSTMENTS FOR INDIVIDUAL SETTINGS
5.1 Locking brake
The distance between the brake pin and tyre
casing must be 12–14 mm at the narrowest
point when the brake is fully open.
Loosen the bolt to adjust/correct the distance
if necessary. Then push the brakes to the cor-
rect position. Subsequently retighten the bolt
and check the function of the brake.
If the wheelbase is changed (chapter 5.5), it
may be necessary to remove the bolt com-
pletely and install the brake in a recess further
forwards or to the rear.
CAUTION
Brake adjustment should be
carried out by trained specialists.
If you have sufficient experience,
however, you may also carry this
work out yourself.
Incorrectly adjusted brakes may
have life-threatening consequences.
05 ADJUSTMENTS FOR INDIVIDUAL SETTINGS
5.2 Drum brake (optional)
The braking power of the drum brakes can be ad-
justed by adjustment screws. The braking force is
increased by unscrewing the adjustment screw.
CAUTION
Ensure even adjustment on both
sides of the wheelchair.
5.3 Armrests
Loosen the two bolts securing the armrest to
the side panel. The armrests can then be
moved forwards or backwards. Then tighten
the bolts securely again to the side panel.

30 31
DIETZ GmbH / Operating instructions standard wheelchair CANEO_B / Version 2.0.1. EN
5.4 Seat height adjustment
The seat height of the wheelchair seat can be
adjusted in two steps of 3 cm (47 cm and 50 cm).
The front fork has two holes (high/low). Use the
lower hole for 50 cm seat height. Use the upper
hole for 47 cm seat height.
On the rear the seat height is adjusted by mov-
ing the rear wheel adapter plate up or down.
Use the lower hole for 50 cm seat height. Use
the upper hole for 47 cm seat height.
CAUTION
A change in the height of the
seat necessitates readjustment of
the brakes.
05 ADJUSTMENTS FOR INDIVIDUAL SETTINGS
5.5 Extending the wheelbase
Moving the rear wheels backwards increases
the distance between wheels and therefore
also the stability of the wheelchair. Moving the
rear wheels forwards will increase the ma-
noeuvrability of your wheelchair but make the
chair less stable.
To alter the wheelbase first remove the rear
wheels. Then take off the rear wheel adapter
(two bolts M6) Now rotate the adapter by
180° and re-install it. Make sure that the bolts
are tightened securely again.
CAUTION
Altering the wheelbase means
the locking brakes will have to be
readjusted (see chapter 5.1).
CAUTION
Front and rear seat heights must
always be the same.

07 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid falls and hazardous situations, you
should rst practice using your new wheelchair
on level, clearly laid out terrain.An accompany-
ing person is recommended.
Please observe all safety warnings:
t Never leave children or adolescents in
the wheelchair without supervision.
t Before using the wheelchair, please
check whether all of the attached parts
are properly secured.
t Before using the wheelchair for the first
time, practice moving on level, clearly
laid out terrain. Intensively familiarise
yourself with its braking and acceleration
behaviour when moving straight ahead
and on cornering.
t Please note that upholstery parts which
are exposed to direct sunlight can
become hot and may cause skin injuries
on contact. Therefore, cover these parts
or protect the wheelchair from exposure
to the sun.
t The wheelchair must not be misused to
transport multiple persons or loads. Use
it only for the intended purpose.
t Never use the wheelchair under the
influence of alcohol or other substances
which influence attentiveness or physical

may be increased due to shifts in balance
as a result of body movement or loading
the wheelchair.
t It is vital to use ramps to overcome
obstacles.
t If they cannot be bypassed, ruts, rails or
similar obstacles should be crossed at
right angles (90°).
t A risk of tipping over backwards exists
on slopes of 10° or more
t The anti-tipping supports must be
secured in the correct position to
increase protection against tipping over
backwards.
t Avoid unbraked pushing against an
obstacle (step, kerb edge) as the occupant
may otherwise fall out forwards.
t Never stand on the foot plates when
entering or exiting.
t Make sure that the tread depth of your
tyres is sufficient (>1 mm).
t Observe the road traffic regulations
when moving in road traffic.
t The passive illumination on the wheel-
chair must always be visible to other
road users.
t Wherever possible, wear light, eye-
catching clothing. You will then be seen
more easily by other road users.
