half fold back mechanism with
your thumb while lightly pulling
the push handle down
2. Pull the armrest release buon while pulling up on the armrest to
release. Flip the armrest back until they are hanging vertically down
from the chair.
3. Flip up the footplates and li up the footplate receivers. Press
the brass push buon and push the footplate back while rotating
approximately 90º until it locates in the receiver hole nearest
the chair.
4. Li the chair by the two li up straps and the chair should naturally
fold up. The chair can be carried using the li up straps.
5. If required, unzip the carry bag and insert the chair. If necessary
rotate the front castors to allow the chair to fit in the bag. Zip up the
bag and carry using the two handles.
The Travelite is not suitable for use as a seat in a motor
vehicle. Users should always transfer to the vehicle’s seat.
