User Safety
Caregiver Safety
Thank you for buying the FOLD & GO WHEELCHAIR®, which is designed and manufactured by OneKubedDESIGNS,
which is Trademarked. Before operating this electric wheelchair for the rst time, please read this manual carefully. This
instruction manual will help you to understand the performance, operation, features, and routine maintenance. Please
refer to this manual and or our website for how to videos on operating your new chair.
Please don’t use or operate this electric wheelchair until you have read and understand these instructions. If you can’t
understand these instructions, please contact us for technical guidance and help. Otherwise it may cause harm or danger
to yourself by not operating the chair correctly.
Always turn o the Joystick when entering and exiting the chair. Practice driving operations with the help of family,
friends or a caregiver, until you are independent and skilled in performing these operations while you are exploring the
world we live in.
Each FOLD & GO WHEELCHAIR® can be operated in manual or power mode. If you wish to manually push your client make
sure to move the red levers on each rear wheel motor to disengage the electromagnetic brakes. Also make sure that the
top headrest frame is locked into place, and not in the downward storage position. Before each movement tell your client
what you are doing to avoid any risk of accidental injury because they are not prepared to be moved. Cooperate with
your client and their physical limitations.
Wheelchair Easy Maintenance
There are a few things to do to keep your FOLD & GO WHEELCHAIR® running in top condition. Included with your chair
is a mini travel toolkit. We suggest you keep this tool kit in the storage bag under the seat, that way it is always with you.
Every 3 months we recommend you examine the bolts and screws of your chair to make sure everything is tight and
locked in place. If you take your chair on the airplane with you, then make sure to examine the bolts and frame for ANY
damage that might have happened from baggage handlers and the ight.
Your wheelchair will work best when you take care of it, just like you would your automobile. On your car, you keep oil
in the engine, you keep air in the tires, you ll it with gas to keep it running, and you keep it clean so it will not rust. Your
FOLD & GO WHEELCHAIR® needs a similar type of regular easy maintenance.

Batteries Already Installed
Manual Mode - No Brakes
The Heavy-Duty model comes with two lithium-ion batteries. We
ship the batteries with your wheelchair. We have already placed each
battery inside the frame of the chair. You do not need to remove the
batteries in order to charge the chair. You can charge both batteries at
the same time, by plugging the charger into the joystick.
Move the red lever on the inside of each rear wheel motor, push it
forward until you feel a click. Then the wheel will spin free, so the chair
can be pushed just like a manual chair. Repeat the same process for
both wheels.
