2. Handling the
wheelchair
2.1 Use
The
THERAPY WHEELCHAIR VARIUS
is de-
signed for at home or geriatric provi-
sioning.
Besides the upholstered seat and an
angle adjustable, upholstered backrest
the
VARIUS
possesses a seat depth ad-
justment as well as infinitely cant adjust-
ment from -4° (as an aid for rising) to
20° seat inclination.
The
VARIUS
is designed for the daily use
indoors and outdoors.
Before the first use the
THERAPY WHEEL-
CHAIR
should be adapted to you by your
authorised specialist dealer. The driving
experience and physical boundaries of
the user as well as the main field of op-
erations of the
THERAPY WHEELCHAIR
will
be considered during this adaptation.
!Attention:
Always have adaptation and adjust-
ment work carried out by an author-
ised specialist dealer.
1. Foreword

like any other vehicle. It requires explana-
tion, a little care and holds dangers when
used improperly. The correct handling
must therefore be learned.
This users manual combined with the bro-
chure
safety information for mechanical
wheelchairs
should help you get accus-
tomed to the handling of the
THERAPY
WHEELCHAIR
and prevent accidents.
If need be this users manual as well as the
brochure
safety information for mechani-
cal wheelchairs
are to be read together
with a supervisor or assistant be making
the first drive.
☞Remark:
Please note that the illustrated equip-
ment variants can deviate from your
model.

2.4 Stowage or trans-
port
2.4.1 Stowing the wheelchair
To stow the
THERAPY WHEELCHAIR
(fig.
1) remove the armrests, legrests, seat
and back.
To fold down the backrest press the but-
ton at the side (fig. 2/ ➀) then pull the
ball plug outward (fig. 3).
The backrest is now unlocked and can
be folded forward.
2.4.2 Assembly of the wheelchair

2.2 Performance
Optimising the driving features of the
VARIUS
to the personal facts is to be done
in coordination with your authorised spe-
cialist dealer or therapist.
The adaptability supplies very good driv-
ing comfort as well as a high operation-
al security.
2.3 Additional user/
safety information
▲A clean, passive illumination is re-
quired for the driving on public high-
ways/pavements!
▲Do not throw or drop parts belong-
ing to the wheelchair! – Removable
parts, e.g. armrests and legrests,
must be correctly handled in order
maintain their function.
▲Removable parts, e.g. armrests and
legrests, must be checked for correct
locking before the start of each drive.
▲Never leave children/adolescents in
wheelchairs unsupervised.
▲For smaller obstacles, e.g. small ledg-
es/slopes, always move slowly and at
a right angle (90°) to the obstacle,
until the swivel wheels are almost
touching the obstacle. Briefly stop the
wheelchair and then drive over the
obstacle.
▲A direct change of movement to the
opposite direction, e.g. from reverse
to forward movement without involv-
ing a steering action, causes full brak-
ing if the swivel wheels are moving
inwards at the same time.
▲The use of a safety belt prevents the
user from falling out of the wheel-
chair.
▲Observe the brochure
safety informa-
tion for mechanical wheelchairs
.

2.5 Transport
For storage or transportation purposes,
the
VARIUS
can be dismantled into port-
able elements without the need for tools.
☞Remark:
Regarding this observe chapter 2.4.
During reassembly, ensure that each
part is correctly installed and securely
fastened. Check that components are
correctly positioned. Check the correct
seating of the components.
3. Overview
The overview shows the most important
components and operating elements of
the
VARIUS.
The components shown in the follow-
ing illustrations may not be identical to
those on your wheelchair. Nevertheless
the position and handling of the parts
to be operated are transferable to your
wheelchair model. Each time the wheel-
chair is assembled, or each time a set-
ting is made, checks should be carried
out to ensure that the component in
question is fitted correctly and function-
ing properly.

4.1.3 Armrest height adjustment
For the height adjustment of the arm-
rest first loosen the clamping screw (fig.
8/ ➀) of the height stopper.
Then slacken the clamping screw (fig.
8/ ➁).
!Attention:
Hold the armrest with one hand in
order to stop it falling. – Danger of
crushing!
Slide the armrest to the desired height
and tighten the clamping screw (fig. 8/
➁). Afterward push the height topper
down and tighten the clamping screw
fig. 8/1.
!Attention:
The maximum armrest height has
been reached when the marking on
the square tube is visible.
The stopper serves to find the adjusted
height position again when the armrest
is removed.
4.1.4 Depth adjustable side ele-
ment
The side element can be adjusted in
depth. Regarding this, loosen the four
screws (fig. 8/ ➂) and adjust the side

4.10 Brake
4.10.1 Safety information
▲The
THERAPY WHEELCHAIR
may not
let itself be pushed, when the brakes
are activated.
▲In order to prevent unintentional
curves when braking down the

multaneously.
☞Remark:
The braking effect is dependent on:
– the condition of the tyres,
– the condition and fixing of the
brakes,
– the brake lever setting,
– the quality of the road surface.
!Attention:
The brake performance decreases
when:
▲the brake pads are worn down,
▲the brake lever is loose,
▲the drum brake is defective.
▲Immediately have the brakes adjust-
ed by an authorised specialised work-
shop when the braking function less-
ens.

6.1 Care
Upholstered seat/backrest:
Clean the cushion with warm water. In
the case of stubborn soiling, the fabric
can be washed with a standard wash-
ing powder for delicate fabrics. Spots
can be removed with a sponge or a soft

the surface finish is damaged by scratch-
es or similar, touch it up with a varnish
pen available from us. Occasional appli-
cation of a light cover of oil to all moving
parts (see also Maintenance Instructions)
will ensure that your wheelchair will give
you many years of service.
