DESCRIPTION
Panthera S2
Panthera S2 is our new standard model. Panthera S2 replaces the previous model Panthera Stan-
dard. S2 has a full frame width at the front and is 5 cm shorter than Panthera Standard. The front
wheels are placed further out, which provides plenty of room for the feet and prevents the castor
wheels from catching on your heels. We have also remoulded the tubing of the chassis to allow for
free space behind the legs, an improvement especially designed for users with a kick technique. The
new moulding also makes it easier to assemble alternative foot rests as required.
S2 is also available as S2 short, S2 short-low and S2 Large.
Panthera S2 Swing
Panthera S2 Swing is intended for those who need an easy to drive wheelchair with good seating,
driving and lifting properties combined with movable leg supports. This wheelchair has all the positive
attributes of an active wheelchair with a stable construction in lightweight class, along with discreetly
and compactly designed movable leg supports. Panthera S2 Swing has a seat angle of 4 degrees
which also allows new options for nding a good seating position also for those who kick drive or need
a atter sitting position for other reasons
S2 Swing is also available as S2 Swing-short.
Panthera U2
Panthera U2 is a modern active chair. The slimline front and ergonomic design makes it wonderfully
smooth to drive and many people discover a better sitting position. This is the most easy wheelchair
to manoeuvre on the market. To drive: With a chassis of chrome molybdenum and a footrest and
pushrims of titanium, the chair is naturally very light and extremely easy to handle.
Panthera U2 Light
The U2 light is a wheelchair designed for the experienced active-user who can handle a ”tippy” wheel-
chair without anti-tips. (Anti-tips are not an option) . The construction is optimized for easy handling in
and out of cars and extremely good driving characteristics. The very clean and minimalistic construc-
tion gives the experienced active-user a big opportunity for improvements in his or her daily life.
The U2 light exists in two different set-ups. ”U2 light” with normal balance, and ”U2 light L” with a
more ”tippy” balance. On the ”U2 light L” the rear axle has been moved forward an additional 22 mm.
It’s possible to adjust the position of the backrest by +/- 10mm, forward or backward, to calibrate the
balance.

SAFETY
Make sure you receive the chair you ordered:
- Check the width of the chair.
- Check the height of the backrest.
- Check that you have received the accessories you ordered.
Conduct a technical inspection of the chair. Check that:
- The rear wheel axles should move smoothly in and out of the casing.
- The button at the centre of the hub should spring out when the rear wheels have been inserted.
- All four wheels should touch the ground.
- The castor fork can be easily rotated.
- The backrest folds down easily.
- The footrests works properly (Swing)
Balance and tipping capacity
The position of the rear wheels, the angle and the adjustment of the backrest upholstery are the most
signicant factors affecting the wheelchair’s tendency to tip. After adapting your chair you should
check that you feel safe with the balance of the chair. If you feel unsure, you should use anti-tips or
move the rear wheels further back. The tipping capacity of the chair is also affected by: hanging a
bag on the backrest, leaning / stretching backwards, worn tyres, poorly pumped tyres and unforeseen
changes in the surface you are driving on.
WARNING!
A Panthera wheelchair is designed to be as easy to drive as possible and because of this it reacts
quickly to the actions you perform. If you perform the wrong actions, the chair can tip backwards if
you do not have anti-tips. The chair can potentially tip up and it is not possible to issue a warning for
all the circumstances in which that might occur. The most important safety measures you can take
include ensuring that you have tested the chair thoroughly and spend time practicing your wheelchair
technique. If you have any questions about wheelchair technique you should contact the person who
prescribed the chair/your therapist. If they are unable to help you, please do not hesitate to contact us
at Panthera AB.
Brakes
If you use the single hand brake and are able to stand up, you should be careful not to open the
brakes by mistake with the back of your leg. Remember that the brakes do not work as effectively on
tyres with poor air pressure or on worn tyres. The brakes are designed as parking brakes and not for
braking when in motion.
Note! For the brakes to work properly the tyres need the correct air pressure. See technical
facts.

SAFETY
Leg support (Panthera Swing)
Make sure the leg supports lock securely into position at the front when you replace them, ensuring
that they will not move when you need them in a xed position
Sitting posture
The wrong sitting posture can cause pressure sores. If you are unsure, you should contact your pres-
criber straight away. Check that the side guards do not exert too much pressure on your thighs since
this can cause pressure sores. If the side guards exert too much pressure, the chair is either too nar-
row or the side guards need to be adjusted. The seat is designed to be used with a cushion.
Driving
If the distance between the lowest point of the footrest and the surface is small (less than 40 mm) the
footrest can get caught on bumps in the surface and cause you to fall forwards.
Transfers / lifting chair and user (Fig. 2 and 3)
The chair is lightweight and for this reason it can move sideways when the brakes are on and you
transfer from the side. If you are unsure, you should practice this activity with your prescriber.
If the wheelchair is lifted with you sitting in it, the chair should always be lifted holding the frame and
not the backrest, the push handles, the wheels or any other parts. See Fig 2; S2, U2, U2 light, Fig 3;

ADJUSTMENTS
When adapting the chair to suit your sitting position and provide the mobility you require, it is im-
portant that you make the following adjustments in the correct order. First, adjust the sitting position
and after that, adjust the balance of the chair according to your mobility requirements. The sequence
is important since changing your sitting position also changes the balance of the chair.
You should make the following adjustments in this order:
1) The tension of the seat upholstery
2) The height of the footrest
3) The tension of the calf band
4) The angle of the backrest
5) The tension of the backrest upholstery
6) The balance of the wheelchair
1) Tension of the seat upholstery (Fig. 8)
The rear section of the seat upholstery can be tightened or loosened by adjusting the Velcro band
underneath the seat as shown in g. 8. This allows you to vary your sitting height by about 2 cm up or
down.
2) Height of the footrest (Fig. 9 and 10)
The footrest can be adjusted up or down. Remove the two screws supporting the footrest on the front
of the frame as shown in g. 9 and10, unscrew using a 3 mm socket head key. Push the end plug
down by placing key 19 around the tubing above and tapping down with a hammer. You will then be
able to move the footrest up or down to t into one of the ve alternative height positions. You should
adjust the footrest at a height where your thighs are supported by the seat at the same time as your
feet are supported by the footrest.

ADJUSTMENTS
3) Tension of the calf / heel band (Fig. 11 and 12)
The tension of the calf / heel band can be adjusted and will affect how far forward you place your feet
on the footrest. The appropriate tension depends largely on how long or short your legs are.
4) Angle of the backrest (except U2 light) (Fig. 13).
The angle of the backrest can be adjusted by rst twisting the backrest lock eccentric out of the way
so that the lock does not get in your way, and then adjusting the screws to adjust the angle.
1) Dismantle the back locking function by pulling the wire (1) and folding the backrest forward.
2) Loosen the lock screws (2) and unscrew them a few rotations using socket head key no. 5.
3) Twist the backrest lock eccentrics (3) downwards so that the lock faucet does not x the backrest
in place. Use cap key no. 19. Do this on both sides.
4) Adjust the angle of the backrest by rst loosening the lock nuts (4) using cap key no. 13,
and then screw the adjustment screws in or out (5) using the 5 mm socket head key. If you unscrew
the adjustment screws the backrest will tilt forward. If you tighten the adjustment screws the backrest
will tilt backwards. It is important to adjust both sides equally to avoid the backrest tubing becoming
crooked. Test this by putting the backrest in the upright position and checking that both adjustment
screws are touching the frame. Try out suitable backrest angles and tighten the lock nuts once you
are satised.
5) To reengage the back locking function, pull the backrest into the upright position and twist the back-
rest lock eccentrics so that the lock faucets spring out into their tracks. Then tighten the lock screws.
Do this on both sides.

ADJUSTMENTS
4) Angle of the backrest, (only U2 light) (Fig. 14).
1) Adjust the angle of the backrest by rst loosening the lock nuts (4), using cap key no. 13,
2) Screw the adjustment screws in or out (5) using the 5mm socket head key. If you unscrew the
adjustment screws the backrest will tilt forward. If you tighten the adjustment screws the backrest
will tilt backwards. It is important to adjust both sides equally to avoid the backrest tubing becoming
crooked. Test this by putting the backrest in upright position and checking that both adjustment
screws are touching the frame.
3) Try out suitable backrest angle and tighten the lock nuts (4) once you are satised..
5) Tension of the back upholstery. (Fig. 15)
The back upholstery can be tightened or loosened by adjusting the Velcro band at the back.
Lift the ap (1). By adjusting these you can form the lower part of the back upholstery to suit the
shape of your back and obtain good support for your lower back. The back upholstery also has a ap
fastened with Velcro under the seat upholstery (2). This can be moved backwards or forwards to ob-
tain the required tension in the lower section of the back upholstery (known as the seat bucket). Start
by loosening the band and sit as far back in the chair as you can. Then tighten the band to give you
good support. If it feels as though you are not sitting far back enough in the chair it may be because
the back upholstery ap is fastened too far forward under the seat. Undo or loosen this ap and move
it back.
6) Balancing the wheelchair (Fig. 16) (except U2 light)
The balance of the wheelchair can be adjusted by moving the rear axle backwards or forwards de-
pending on how much ‘rear balance’ you require. The chair will be lighter at the front with more weight
over the rear wheels. This makes the chair easier to manoeuvre and it will also be easier to tip up
onto the rear wheels, for instance, when negotiating curbs, thresholds and so on. The chair should not
be balanced too far to the rear because this will increase the risk of tipping backwards. It is important
that you take time trying out a balance that suits your body and driving techniques so that you adapt
the chair to be as easy to drive as possible, without increasing the risk of tipping backwards too much.
You should always have someone standing behind you when you try out the chair after adjusting the
balance. If you still feel unsure about the balance of your chair having tested it thoroughly you should
use anti-tips (accessory). The anti-tips eliminate the danger of tipping backwards and they are easily
removed when you no longer need them.

ADJUSTMENTS
How to move the rear axle: (Fig. 16)
1) Remove the rear wheels
2) Loosen the nut casings (1) with the 22 mm cap key.
3) You will now be able to push the wheel attachment forward or back along the horizontal frame
tubing. It is important that you have the wheel attachment in the same forward position on both sides
of the chair. You can check this by measuring the distance between the forward section of the vertical
tubing and the rear section of the wheel attachment as shown in g. 16 using a tape measure or ruler,
and check that the distance is the same on both sides.
4) Tighten the screws (1) on both sides.
6) Balancing the wheelchair (Fig. 17) (only U2 light)
The U2 Light has a xed rear axle so balancing is achieved by moving the body position in relation
to the rear axle. This can be done by moving the backrest, which can be xed in 3 different positions.
The further back you place the backrest, the more ‘rear balanced’ the chair will be. This means that
the chair is light at the front and you have more weight over the rear wheels. The chair is easier to
drive and it is also easier to tip up onto the rear wheels to negotiate kerbs and steps. The chair should
not be balanced too far back, however, because of the danger of tipping backwards..
How to change the balance of the wheelchair:
1) Remove the rearwheels.
2) Loosen the stop screw (1) using a cape chisel, on both sides of the chair.
3) Loosen the bolt through the clamp and the back attachment (2).
4) Knock the clamp backwards or forwards (backwards if you want a more lightly balanced chair,
forwards if you prefer a more heavily balanced chair).
5) Replace the stop screws in one of the three alternative holes in the back frame.(3)
6) Knock the clamp so that the back of the clamp touches the stop screw.
7) Tighten the bolt (2) through the clamp

ADJUSTMENTS
7) Brakes
Single hand brake (accessory) (Fig. 18)
This brake is mounted under the seat frame. The brake should be adjusted to go 4 mm into the tyre
when in locked position This is done by loosing the attachment of the brake with cap key no 10 and
allen key 4 mm, and then moving the brake along the seat frame. Adjust to the desired position and
then tighten the attachment.It is important that its adjusted equally on both sides of the frame.
NB! When the air pressure is low, the tyre is worn or changing to another type of tyre the function of
the brake will change. Check the function of the brake regularly .
High brake (Fig. 19)
The brake should be adjusted to go 3-4 mm into the tyre when in locked position. If a slight adjust-
ment is required this can be done by rotating the locking arm adjustment, so that the brake goes
further in/out on the tyre depending on the direction in which you rotate. If a major adjustment is
needed, loosen the bolt on the inside of the brake using the 5mm socket key. The brake can then be
pushed forward or backwards into the desired position and the clamp is then tightened again.
NB! The bolt on the inside of the clamp (under the seat) should be opened to move the clamp, not the
bolt on the outside of the clamp.

ACCESSORIES
Anti-tip (Fig. 20)
The anti-tip device is s very important accessory that has to be adjusted correctly to prevent the chair
from tipping backwards.
When the anti-tip devices are folded out you adjust (5) the ground clearance (6) by setting the wheel
tube in one of the four positions. (4). The anti-tip can be swung away by pushing down (1) the anti-tip
and turning (2) it in under the seat. When folding out the anti-tip make sure it locks in the slots (3). To
practice balancing on the rear wheels you should set the anti-tip device so it is possible to balance the
chair.
Side guards (Fig. 21)
Side guards are a common accessory available in number of variations. The image shows a side
guard with armrest. The side guard prevents clothing or similar from becoming stuck in the spokes
and also stops dirt from the wheels getting onto the clothes.
To remove the side guard, e.g during transport, just pull it straight up so so it detaches from the
bracket.

TRANSPORT
We would like to make it quite clear that the best alternative for transportation in a vehicle is to
transfer from the wheelchair into a regular passenger seat with a seatbelt. If this is not possible, you
may have to remain seated in your crashtested wheelchair, S2, U2 and S2 Swing, which will be at-
tached with the approved attachment facilities and a seatbelt, although Panthera AB does not recom-
mend this. See pages 15-16 for more information about how to attache the wheelchair in a transport
vehicle when remaining seated in the wheelchair.
Assembly / dismantling (Fig. 24, 25 and 26)
When transporting the chair you can remove the rear wheels and fold down the backrest.
1) Remove any side guards by pulling them straight up.
2) Remove any cushions and fold the backrest forward by pulling wire (1) see Fig. 26.
3) U2-light has no backrest lock, just remove any cushions and fold the backrest forward.
4) S2 Swing has removable footrest, push the button and swing the footrest sideways and then lift
straight up. Fig 25
4) Disengage the rear wheels by pushing the button in the centre of the hub, see Fig.24. Then pull the
wheel straight out.
To insert the wheels, press in the button and push the axle into the hole in the casing. Then push the
wheel all the way in, release the button and pull out to check that the wheel is securely in place and
the button springs back out.
Transfers / lifting (Fig. 22 and 23)
If the wheelchair is lifted with you sitting in it, the chair should always be lifted holding the frame and
not the backrest, the push handles, the wheels or any other parts. See Fig 22; S2, U2, U2 light, Fig
23; S2 swing.

TRANSPORT
Attaching the wheelchair in the vehicle (Fig. 27 and 28)
When the user remains seated in the chair during transportation, the wheelchair should always face
the direction in which the vehicle is driving. The wheelchair should always be attached in the vehicle
using a 4-point belt. The front of the wheelchair is attached with the belts around the frame at the
bearing casings for the castor wheels See Fig. 27 . The rear of the wheelchair is attached with the
belt around the rear axle.
Note! Do not use snap hooks on the rear axle! See Fig. 28
Pull the wheelchair backwards and pull the belts tight so that the wheelchair is fastened securely and
cannot roll forwards or backwards. When the chair has been securely fastened, apply the wheelchair
brakes if the chair is equipped with them. We also recommend that the anti-tips should be folded out if
the chair is equipped with anti-tips. Ensure that all the belts are securely attached and fastened to the
prole rail on the oor of the vehicle and that all the belts are pulled tight.
Securing the user in a vehicle (Fig. 29 and 30)
If the user remains in the wheelchair during transport, we recommend that the backrest should be
level with the users shoulders. The user should be secured in the vehicle with a 3-point safety belt.
This is to minimize injuries to the head and / or the chest in the event of a collision or when braking.
The vehicle’s safety belt should be in contact with the body and must not be held away from
the body by any part of the wheelchair. See g. 29 and 30.Loose accessories on the chair should
be removed to reduce the risk of injury to the user or other passengers.

MAINTENANCE
Your Panthera is constructed to be virtually maintenance free. A few parts do require regular checking
however. (Naturally you should clean and check the chair more often if you use it in more extreme
environments such as in sand or salt water.)
Once a month you should:
- Wipe the chair chassis over with car shampoo or washing-up liquid and a damp cloth. If very dirty
you can use a degreasing agent. Lubricate all moveable parts with a universal lubricant (5-56, WD-
40) after cleaning.
- Clean the castor fork casing (between the wheel and the fork). Hair and dust collect here which can
damage the bearing. Loosen the nut using key no. 10 while holding the bolt with key no. 10. Remove
the bolt and then the wheel. Clean the washers between the wheel and the fork and wipe the outside
of the wheel bearing with a cloth. Drop some oil into each bearing. Reassemble the parts.
- Lubricate the rear wheel axles. Remove the wheel and distribute some drops of oil over the axle.
You should do this more often if you drive in rain, sand, salt and slush or if you rarely remove the
wheels.
- Pump up the tyres. The tyres can be pumped by screwing the top off the valve and lling with air
using an appropriate valve adapter. The tyre can take 8 kg of pressure.
- Check that all the screws and nuts are securely fastened.
- Check that the chair has not been damaged. If damage has occurred, contact us immediately at
Panthera AB.
Twice a year you should:
- Lubricate the ball bearings for the brakes with some drops of oil..
- Lubricate the bearings in the joints of the backrest. Remove the nut using cap key no. 10 and hold
the bolt still with key no. 10. Lubricate the bearings with some drops of oil.
- Wash the seat upholstery, the back upholstery and the cushion cover in 40 degrees machine wash
when necessary.
GUARANTEE and LIFETIME
Lifetime:
The life of a Panthera depends on how much wear and tear it is exposed to and how thorough you
are with maintenance.
Guarantee:
We offer a ve year factory guarantee on the chassis. For other parts there is a guarantee of 12
months. Excluding wear parts.
- Applies to faults in the product resulting from defects in design, material or manufacturing.
- Does not apply to faults resulting from normal wear, inadequate maintenance, human error, improper
storage or incorrect assembly on the part of the purchaser, modications and the use of products from
other manufacturers without Panthera AB’s written consent, or faults resulting from repairs performed
by the purchaser.
