(TR39-ESV)
The TR39-ESV steel travel chair range is intended to assist the transport of
users with mobility diculties. These wheelchairs are designed for occasional
or frequent use, and can be used indoors and outdoors, but should not be used
on rough terrain. Over-loading the wheelchair is the only known
contraindication, although others may be specific to an individual or care
environment.
The wheelchair can be manually moved forward and in reverse. The
wheelchairs are transit models, to be operated by the wheelchair attendants
while the occupant is seated. The wheelchairs can support users of up to 115 kg
(18 stone).
These instructions should be read carefully before using the wheelchair. This
product does not have a service manual. The only parts for user assembly are
the footrests. Remove all packaging and stand the wheelchair on the ground.
Separate the arm rests to open the wheelchair, then push the seat down firmly.
Once the seat is secure and the footrests are attached, the wheelchair is ready
for use.

symbolspreparing for use
A risk assessment must also be performed to assess suitability of the device
for the user. This assessment should include, but not be limited to:
• Small adults (and children)
• Users (and attendants) who lack capacity
• Very active occupants
• Unauthorised access to the wheelchair
Attendants are responsible for determining that they are both mentally and
physically capable of using the wheelchair with minimal risk of harm.
Maximum occupant mass – Exceeding this value marked on your
device can damage the product and put users at risk of harm.
!
Warning
This wheelchair must not be used as a seat in a motor vehicle.
Users should always transfer to the vehicle's seat and the
wheelchair should be safely stowed away.
Using Parking Brakes
Push the handle on the brake unit until locked in
place. To release the brake, push the handle in the
opposite direction. The brakes should always be
applied when the wheelchair is stationary.
Note: The brake may be visually dierent from shown.
Fitting and Altering the Footrests
To fit the footrests, place them on the two receiver
posts on the frame. Swing inwards until they lock in
position. To remove, press the chrome lever whilst swinging the footrest out.
It is important to attain the correct leg position for optimum comfort.
To adjust the footrest height, turn the bolt at the
bottom clockwise using a
spanner (1). Adjust the
footplate to lengthen or
shorten (2), then turn
anticlockwise to tighten (3).
Note: Always ensure the bolt
is suciently tightened after
adjustment.

transfer and use
!
Before using the wheelchair, read the safety notices below;
• Do not exceed the 10º maximum gradient. Use slow speeds
and do not reverse down a gradient.
• Do not use on escalators.
• The wheelchair is only suitable for single occupancy.
• Keep your feet on the footrests when moving. Do not stand on
the footrests. Overloading can cause harm to the occupant.
• Ensure that fingers and objects do not get caught in the wheel
spokes or any other moving parts during use and assembly.
• Maintain proper balance at all times. Users should not move
their centre of gravity out of the seating area or reach further
than their arm’s length.
• Parking brakes should always be applied when transferring.
• Be aware of hazards in your environment, such as narrow
doorways, steps, household appliances, children’s toys, etc.
• A risk assessment must be performed by a competent person
to ensure the wheelchair is suitable for the user. Consult a
healthcare professional before using assistive medical devices.
• Keep away from heating and ignition sources which may raise
surface temperatures or cause a fire.
Transfer: When transferring in and out of the seat, move the seats as
close as possible to each other. Attendants should always engage parking
brakes during transfer and fold away footrests. If required, attendants are
responsible for being suitably trained and competent to lift occupants with
minimal risk of harm. Good health and safety practice must always be used.
Propelling: Following the safety advice above, attendants should push
from behind using the handgrips. To slow down, apply reverse pressure to the
push handles.
When stationary, the brakes should always be applied.
using a wheelchair belt
Belts are often used to restrain wheelchair occupants during normal use.
However, belts are not necessary parts of this device. Any belts used should
be adjusted to suit each user. When fastened, they should be tight without
causing discomfort or undue pressure. Belts may not be suitable for all users.
Seek professional medical advice before using a wheelchair belt.

steep terrain, kerbs and steps
Steep terrain: These wheelchairs are not designed for use on gradients
beyond 10°. When on a slope, avoid swerving or sudden changes in movement.
Over kerbs: Attendants push down on the stepper tube with a foot to raise
the front castors (when mounting a kerb for example).
To mount, approach the kerb head-on. The attendant uses the stepper tube to
raise the front castors, and lower the front castors on the raised kerb. Then
push the wheelchair forward, lifting it up slightly to mount the kerb if required.
To go down, align the front castors with the kerb edge. Using the tube to keep
the castors raised, tip the user slightly back and slowly lower the wheelchair.
Multiple steps: The wheelchair is not designed to mount staircases, so may
require carrying if no elevators or ramps are available. Attendants are
responsible for being suitably trained and competent to lift the wheelchair with
minimal risk of harm. Do not carry using the handles or any removable sections.
!
Common misuse
Do not lean or push down on the push handles, as this can
damage the wheelchair.

PADDLE
Folding
the
backrest
!
Common misuse
The paddle is intended to be pushed. Do not pull
the paddle to fold the backrest.
To fold the backrest, push the black paddle
towards the back post with your thumb (1) whilst
pulling the handle down (2). Repeat this operation
for the other handle. To secure the backrest, lift
both handles together until the folding mechanism
locks automatically.
Do not push down on the handles to raise the wheels, as
this could damage the wheelchair. See steep terrain, kerbs
and steps to mount obstacles using the stepper tube.
This wheelchair is easily foldable to minimise storage space. Once the
footrests have been either folded and swung outwards, or removed (see
footrest adjustment), fold the wheelchair by pulling upwards on the centre
edges of the seat sling. Store with the parking brakes on, in a dry
environment, away from direct sunlight.
Note: The wheelchair may be folded and stored in a motor vehicle.
