2. General Safety Instructions
2.1 Please read the instructions for use rst! Before using the product, you should
be familiar with the handling, function and use of the product. You may com-
promise your safety if you do not observe these instructions. However, it is
impossible to protect against and avoid all unforeseeable circumstances and
situations.
2.2 Do not ascend or descend stairs without the assistance of attendants.
If devices such as ramps or elevators are available, they should be used. If
wheelchair-friendly access is missing, two attendants must carry the wheel-
chair over the obstacle.
2.3 If possible, the footplates should be ipped up before getting into or out of the
wheelchair.
2.4 Risk of accident when driving without experience. This can lead to falls and
other dangerous situations. Therefore, familiarize yourself with the new wheel-
chair by practicing on even, straightforward terrain rst. Learn how the wheel-
chair reacts when the center of gravity shifts; for example on slopes or inclines
or when clearing obstacles such as steps and curbs. This should be done only
with the assistance of another person. Using an anti-tipper is strongly recom-
mended for inexperienced wheelchair users.
2.5 All brakes acting on the tires do not serve as service brake but are only de-
signed as parking brake (wheel lock). The wheel locks must not be used as
driving brakes for slowing down the wheelchair, as in extreme cases, the
abrupt stopping of the wheelchair can lead to falls.
2.6 Risk of damage caused by overload. The maximum load capacity is 120 kg.
2.7 The drive wheels must be replaced in case of tire damage (tread becomes
worn down to such an extent that there is only 5 mm of radius left on the outer
edges of the tire) or damage on the rim.
The 12” drive wheels of the transfer version is replaced in the same way.
3. Delivery and Preparation for Use
(Please Note: The photos here may show differences to the wheelchair you actually
received).
Your wheelchair is usually delivered fully assembled, folded, and with the rear
wheels mounted.
A few simple steps are sufcient to prepare it for use:
1. While standing next to the wheelchair (Figure 1), unfold the wheelchair using at
hands (Figure 2). Ensure that the telescoping bars (Figure 1-A) are completely
collapsed and that the seat upholstery is attened out.

g. 1 g. 2
2. If applicable, insert the footrests into the receivers from the side (Figure 3). Turn
the footrests inward until locking to the right place. Finally, fold down the foot-
plates (Figure 4).

4. Mounted Anti-Tipper
(only for Oxford Plus model)
The anti-tipper prevents the wheelchair from tipping too far backward.
The anti-tipper must be rotated into the active position on one or both sides be-
fore use. This is accomplished by pressing the ball ratchets (Item A) and making
the adjustment. The anti-tipper must audibly lock in place, before it is able to bear
loads.
For untrained wheelchair users, the use of an anti-tipper is strongly recommended.
5 Transportation
Grab the middle of seat upholstery at the front and the back and pull it upwards,
the wheelchair will be folded (Figure 5).
For more manageable transportation, e.g. in cars, the footrests can be entirely
removed in just a few easy steps. To move the footrest, press the release lever to
the inside (Figure 6). The footrest with footplate can then be swung outward by 90°
and be removed by pulling it upward.

6. Armrest usage
The side panels can be ipped-up to the rear for transfer user (Figure 7).
To raise the side panel, manipulate the release lever (Figure 8) behind the side
panel tube. The height of the armrest is not adjustable.

8. Replacing the Seat and Back Upholstery
Can be removed if necessary by loosening the cross screws (Figure 10).
9. Cleaning and Disinfection
9.1 Clean the upholstery with warm water and a washing-up liquid.
Remove spots with a sponge or a soft brush. Rinse with clear water and let
the components dry.
9.2 Do not use any aggressive cleansing agents, solvents, or hard brushes etc.
9.3 No wet-cleaning. Components are not machine washable. For disinfection,
water-based agents (e.g. Sagrotan original concentrate) should be used. The
manufacturer‘s instructions for use must be observed.
9.4 Before disinfecting, the pads and handles must be cleaned. Plastic parts,
frame parts as well as chassis and wheels can be cleaned with a mild deter-
gent. Dry thoroughly afterwards.

10. Re-use
Information on Re-Use
The product is suitable for re-use. Similar to second-hand machines or cars, prod-
ucts that are being re-used are subject to increased strain. Features and functions
must not change in a way that could endanger patients or other persons within the
product’s life cycle.
Based on market observations and the current state of technology, the manufac-
turer has calculated that the product can be used for a period of 4 years, provid-
ed that it is used properly and that the service and maintenance instructions are
observed. Periods during which the product is stored at the dealer or with the
third-party payer are not included in this period. It should be clearly pointed out,
however, that the product is reliable far beyond this dened period of time, provid-
ed that it is cared for and maintained appropriately.
In cases of re-use, the affected product must rst be thoroughly cleaned and dis-
infected. Subsequently, the product must be examined by an authorised specialist
to check the condition, wear and possible damage. Any worn and damaged com-
ponents as well as components which do not t or are not suitable for the user
must be replaced.
