Delivery
Motus CV, Motus CS

Maintain sufficient clearance from sources of heat. If the product is parked for an extended period of time or the
tyres overheat (e.g.in the vicinity of radiators or in case of exposure to strong sunlight behind glass), the tyres may
become permanently deformed.
During extended storage, the knee lever wheel lock on wheelchairs with PU tyres (=tubeless tyres) must be
released since tyre deformation may otherwise result.
6 Preparing the product for use
6.1 Assembly
CAUTION
Exposed pinch points
Crushing, pinching due to incorrect handling
►When folding the wheelchair out or together, only grip by the specified components.
CAUTION
Failure to verify readiness for use before putting into operation
Tipping, falling due to incorrect adjustment or installation
►Before you start using the wheelchair for the first time, check the chosen wheelchair settings with the support
of qualified personnel.
►After every assembly, check for proper mounting of the drive wheels. The quick-release axles must be
securely locked in the receiver bushings.
►Pay particular attention to the stability against tipping, free running of the drive wheels and correct function of
the brakes/wheel locks.
INFORMATION
On the topic of disassembly/transport: see page37.
It takes just a few simple steps to prepare the wheelchair for use:
1) Attach the drive wheels to the quick-release axle mounting (see fig.3). The quick-release axles must not be
removable after releasing the push-button.
INFORMATION: With "drive wheel for one-handed operation" option: see page29.
2) Loosen the safety strap (see fig.4).
3) Unfold the wheelchair (see fig.5, see fig.6).
INFORMATION: While you are next to the wheelchair, tip it slightly toward you and press on the edge
of the seat upholstery closest to you.
4) Only with "drive wheel for one-handed operation" option: Insert the telescoping rod (see page29).
5) If necessary: Attach the leg supports (see page16).
6) Fold down the foot plates. With a single-panel foot plate, make sure the foot plate support is locked into the
mounting (see fig.7).
7) Fit the seat cushion (see fig.8). The seat cushion is secured against sliding by being pressed onto the hook-
and-loop closure.

7 Use
7.1 Further instructions for use
• Attaching loads (e.g.backpacks) can adversely affect stability. Therefore, suspending additional loads on the
wheelchair is not permitted.
• The recommended overall width for manual wheelchairs in an operational state is 700mm. This specification
should ensure unhindered use of escape routes,for example. Note that the product dimensions can exceed the
recommended values for dimensions and the movement range of manually powered wheelchairs in versions
with very large seat widths (for more information see see page46 ff.).
• The wheelchairs in this series comply with the minimum technical requirements for wheelchairs transportable
by train. Please note that it is possible that not every individual wheelchair will meet the minimum requirements
due to the variation in designs (please see see page47 for further details).
7.2 Getting in and transferring
CAUTION
Incorrect caster wheel position when leaning forward in the wheelchair
Tipping over, falling due to incorrect caster wheel positioning
►Prior to activities that require you to bend forward in the wheelchair (e.g.tying your shoes), maximise the sta
bility of the wheelchair.
►In order to do so, push the wheelchair backwards until the caster wheels turn forward.
Users can choose the method for getting into and out of the wheelchair which is most suitable for them. The
respective procedure should be discussed and practised with a therapist.
As a rule, the frame tubes, seat bottom or side panels can be used as supports for getting into the wheelchair.
If getting in independently is not possible, transferring or getting in always has to be performed with the help of an
assistant. The manufacturer also offers transfer aids for getting in, such as transfer boards.

Use
Motus CV, Motus CS

7.3 Legrests
CAUTION
Improper use of the legrests
Tipping over, falling due to errors in handling the product
►Fold up the footplates before getting in.
WARNING
Reduced ground clearance with the "foot-propelled chair" option
Tipping over, falling due to getting caught on obstacles
►Please note that wheelchairs with the "foot-propelled wheelchair" option might fall below the minimum ground
clearance of 40mm depending on the selected settings for the lower leg length and the front seat height.
►Adjust your driving to the reduced ground clearance and exercise particular caution with obstacles on the
ground e.g.steps, curbs and thresholds.
The leg supports support the user's feet.
The height of the leg support has been adjusted by qualified personnel to the length of the user's lower legs.
The angle of the foot support has been set by the qualified personnel so that it allows the ankles to rest in a com
fortable position.
Different leg support types and other accessories may be installed depending on the order:
"Single-panel, angle-adjustable" leg support (see fig.9)
Leg support for the Motus CS. The depth of the foot supports is 140mm. The leg support can be folded up to
make getting into the wheelchair easier.
“Segmented, angle-adjustable” leg support (see fig.10)
Detachable leg support for the Motus CV. Each leg support can be folded up individually to make getting into the
wheelchair easier.
“Elevating” leg support (see fig.11)
Detachable leg support for the Motus CV. The leg support allows positioning of the leg at different angles.
Amputation leg support (see fig.12)
Detachable leg support for the Motus CV. Alternative for installation on an “elevating” leg support.

20
Folding down the single-panel foot plate
►Fold down the foot plate, making sure the foot plate support locks into the mounting (see fig.7).
17Motus CV, Motus CS
Use

7.3.3 Adjusting the angle of the elevating leg support
The following steps also apply to the amputation leg support (see fig.12).
1) Turn the release lever upwards to the stop (see fig.21, item1).
Alternative: The leg support can also be elevated without operating the release lever.
2) Simultaneously move the leg support to the desired angle (see fig.22, item2).
3) Turn the release lever back.
→The leg support will automatically snap into place in the next free position.
21 22
7.3.4 Removing and fastening the calf strap
The calf strap offers additional support for the user’s legs. It also prevents the feet from sliding off the foot plate
into the danger area. The calf strap can be removed for cleaning.
Fastening the calf band
1) Open all hook-and-loop closures (see fig.23).
2) Single-panel foot plate: Pass the calf strap around the frame tubes and fasten the hook-and-loop (see
fig.24).
3) Segmented foot plate: Pass the calf strap around the frame tube (see fig.25, item1), thread it through the
eyelet on the side of the foot plate and fasten it with hook-and-loop (see fig.25, item2; see fig.26).
