How To Unfold
4. To unfold the wheelchair, grasp the back rest push bar and place you other hand on the seat
bar to separate and expand the chair to the open position (see Image 5)
5. You will hear the safety clip lock in place when the chair is fully expanded in place correctly.
The chair will unfold easily within a few seconds simple separate. (see image 6) (note it will
be easier if the wheels are locked in electric mode when unfolding so the chair does not roll)
Always make sure the power is off while
unfolding and folding the wheelchair

How To Fold
8
Note: Ensure the safety clamp is locked in place when unfolded. You will hear a clip when it is
engaged. Failure to do this could result in the chair collapsing on you causing serious injury.
Careful as this is a potential pinch point for fingers
6. You can fold the Palladium 8500 within 3 seconds. Pinch together the release clamp found on the back of
the chair to unlock your chair from the folded position and press the chair slightly forward about 1 inch to
separate the frame then release the clamp. (see image 7)
7. Push the chair forward all the way to the ground. The Palladium 8500 will collapse like a baby stroller
within seconds and will fully collapse. (see image 8)
8. Now lift the chair (vertically) upright and it will stand by itself. (see image 9)
