Preparing for use
These instructions should be read carefully before using the wheelchair.
This product is not for user assembly and does not have a service manual.
The following parts may be adjusted by approved service personnel to suit
each user’s requirements:
1. Brake Unit (Transit Models)
Loosen the bolt heads with a 5mm hex key, sliding the brake unit along
the frame. Test both parking and cable
brakes after readjusting.
2. Armpad Position
Angle the armpads up or down by
holding the buttons on either side, as
shown in the adjusting armpads image.
3. Footrest Height
See the footrest adjustment section for
more information.
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
Independent users and 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 the limit marked on your
device can damage the product and put users at risk of harm.
Remove all packaging and stand the wheelchair on the ground. Separate the
armrests to open the wheelchair, then push down firmly. Once the seat is
secure, the backrest is upright and the footrests are attached (see overleaf),
the wheelchair is ready for use.

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.
• 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.
• Do not reach for items further than your 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. We
recommend you consult a healthcare professional before using
any 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 engage parking brakes and
fold away footrests. If users need to be lifted out of a seat, 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: The attendant should push from behind using the handgrips,
and following the safety advice above. Transit models can only be propelled by
an attendant. Self Propel models can also be propelled by wheelchair users,
pushing the handrims on the rear wheels. To slow down, apply pressure to the
handrims.
When stationary, the brakes should always be applied.

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 kerbs, approach the kerb head-on.
Then the attendant uses the stepper tube to raise
the front castors (see pushing the stepper tube),
and lowers the front castors on the raised kerb.
Finally the attendant should push the wheelchair
forward, lifting it up slightly to mount the kerb if
required.
To go down, line up the front castors with the edge
of the kerb. The attendant uses the stepper tube to
raise the front castors and tip the user slightly back.
Keeping the castors raised, slowly lower the
wheelchair down the kerb.
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.
!
Common misuse
In most cases, attendants should also raise the front castors when
going down kerbs, to prevent the user from falling or sliding out.

Brake operation
Parking Brakes
To apply the parking brakes, push the handle on the brake unit until locked
in place. To release the brake, pull the handle in the opposite direction. The
brakes should always be applied when the wheelchair is stationary.

Cable Brakes
On the transit model, the attendant
pushing the wheelchair may use
cable-operated brakes to slow or park
the wheelchair.
To apply the brakes, squeeze the large
lever (1) on the push handles gently and
the brakes will be applied until the
levers are released. The brakes lock
when squeezing tighter, and can be
released by lifting the release tab (2).
Ensure both levers are pulled
simultaneously to ensure the
wheelchair travels in a straight line.
Operating
the brakes
Using a wheelchair belt
Belts are often used to restrain wheelchair occupants during normal use. 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.
All wheelchairs in the Phantom range come with a lap belt. They are secured
around the user’s pelvis to help keep their hips and pelvis towards the back
of the seat. These belts must not be used as a substitute for a seatbelt in a
motor vehicle. The length of the belt can be adjusted using the tri-glides, and
it has a large clip to fasten and unfasten the lap belt.
There is a risk of suocation from users ‘submarining’ (where they slide down
the chair until the lap belt is around the neck area). To reduce the risk of this,
ensure appropriate belts are fitted, occupants are under supervision and the
belts are used in line with the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
