1 INTENDED PURPOSES AND CONDITIONS OF USE
This model is a self-propelled wheelchair which means that it can be moved manually by driving the hand rims on the rear wheels or by an assistant using the push handles.
It may be used for both rehabilitative and active purposes and is therefore suitable for daily use by both occupants with severe disabilities (with limited movement of the legs, arms or torso) and "active" occupants
(capable of carrying out activities independently). It is used to assure the independent mobility or assisted movement of an occupant with reduced or no use of one or more parts of the body.
Given the ample range of possible accessories and configurations, the wheelchair can be used safely both indoors (flat, gym, school, library, etc.) and outdoors (street, pavement, yard, etc.) with ambient
temperatures between -30 and +60 °C.
If the occupant is affected by particularly severe disabilities or unable to move autonomously, the help of an assistant is always advisable. We also discourage use over hilly, particularly soft, sandy or uneven ground,
on slopes exceeding the recommended gradient and in acidic environments.
During daily use of the wheelchair, the occupant may come across situations such as rough or irregular terrains (gravel, cobblestones, holes on the ground, etc.) or slippery terrain (wet,
sandy, dusty, oily hard surfaces, etc.). In all such situations and, in general, in all cases where use of the wheelchair may be difficult or risky (for the wheelchair and its occupant), it is
always advisable to move carefully and smoothly without sudden acceleration or hard braking.
When the difficulty or risk is high, the help of an assistant is always advisable.
The maximum slope that can be negotiated to prevent the wheelchair from tipping over backwards is 3° (6%).
All footrests require the occupant to wear socks or shoes, so do not rest bare feet on them.
The seating surface, in cloth or other material if available for this model, is not designed to be directly sat on by the occupant; it is therefore necessary to provide a cushion for the
occupant to sit on and which must be ordered separately according to the occupant’s specific needs.
Maximum weight load for the model TEKNA TILT 2.0: 125 kg.
In certain configurations, the wheelchair may exceed 700 mm in width. In such cases, under certain circumstances, it may not be possible to use some or all of the available escape routes
from a building. If the wheelchair configuration causes the wheelchair width to exceed 700 mm, it may be difficult or impossible to travel on public transport.
TEKNA TILT 2.0 (adult) Given its dimensional and structural characteristics, the wheelchair model is ideal for use by both teenagers and adults.

Easy Tilt 7
2 PUTTING THE WHEELCHAIR INTO SERVICE AND REGULAR USE
It is important that all the wheelchair’s functional parts are CHECKED ONLY BY QUALIFIED AND AUTHORISED PERSONNEL, both to assess its suitability and to provide the correct
instructions for use to occupant and assistant where applicable.
If any part of the wheelchair is found to be defective, the occupant or assistant must consult the dealer to solve the problem.
Non-observance of the indications/instructions in this manual may lead to malfunctions and/or damage to the wheelchair and/or the occupant and/or third parties. Rehateam is not liable for
any damage to the wheelchair and/or the occupant and/or third parties caused by or resulting from the non-observance of the indications/instructions.
Use of the wheelchair requires some of its parts to be handled. Instructions for the correct handling of the wheelchair’s components are provided in the corresponding sections of this
document. Please follow these instructions to avoid injuries.
The installation and use of electrification, mechanical and/or electrical drive devices or any other accessory not provided by Rehateam s.r.l. at the time of delivery may result in stresses
that were not foreseen during product testing and therefore the integrity and complete safety of the product is not guaranteed. In case of installation of any additional accessory to the
product delivered by Rehateam s.r.l., the latter must be guaranteed by your dealer, the accessory device manufacturer, and approved by Rehateam s.r.l.

Easy Tilt 8
2.1 Tyre pressure
The tyres must always be well inflated to ensure that the wheelchair brakes and rolls properly.
Use your fingers to remove the plastic cap which covers the inflation valve on the rim of the rear wheels.
Use a compressor or pump equipped with a pressure gauge to bring the pressure up to the correct level. Screw the plastic cap back on.
Check for correct tyre pressure on a weekly basis as indicated on the tyre (an intermediate value between min. and max. is recommended).
Proper tyre pressure makes the wheelchair considerably smoother and more controllable to manoeuvre.
Inadequate tyre pressure (especially if lower than prescribed) degrades the effectiveness of the parking brakes (the wheelchair may not remain stationary).
Do not exceed the pressure indicated on the tyre because you may damage the tyre and the inner tube.
Always respect what indicated on the tyre.
The front castors may also be of the "pneumatic" type; in this case, follow the same instructions.
Solid tyres do not require any inflation. This type of tyre requires less maintenance and reduces puncture repair or replacement costs. Compared to tubed or tubular tyres, they are not as smooth during
normal use and absorb less vibration when rolling on uneven ground.
2.2 Brakes
The parking brakes are a safety device and their efficiency must be checked daily.
The pressure brake acts directly on the tyre by means of a lever, which is why braking efficiency depends on correct tyre inflation pressure.
We recommend that you check your tyre pressure regularly to ensure that it is always correct.
The maximum safe gradient for the parking brakes to work properly is 3° (6%).
The parking brake is a safety device, and you must not use it while the wheelchair is moving as this could cause the wheelchair to overturn with possible injury to the occupant.
To check the effectiveness of the brakes, apply them as described below depending on the type of brake, and, with the person sitting in the wheelchair, try to gently push the wheelchair.
If the rear wheels do not turn or if they turn with great difficulty and still prevent unintentional movement of the wheelchair, the parking brakes are acting as required.
Check both brakes. Applying and releasing the parking brake may require more or less force depending on the type of brake chosen.
Occupants with reduced upper limb strength should use the extended lever.
Take care not to pinch/crush your fingers when applying and releasing the brakes, but also in any other situation where your hands come close to the brakes.

Easy Tilt 9
PUSH-TO-LOCK BRAKE
The brake lever can be either “right-angled” (1) or “straight” (2).
To engage the brake, push the lever forward until it locks.
To release the brake, pull the lever backward.
The brake automatically returns to its resting position.
PULL-TO-LOCK BRAKE
To engage the brake, pull the lever backward until it locks.
To release the brake, push the lever frontward.
The brake automatically returns to its resting position.
BRAKE WITH EXTENDED LEVER
The push-to-lock and pull-to-lock brakes with extended lever work in the same manner but are easier to
engage and release.
The lever may be folded to prevent the extended lever from obstructing the occupant’s wheelchair transfer
manoeuvre.
To do so, pull the lever first up and then push it forward.
To return it to the normal using position, turn the lever up and then push it down.

2.3 Quick release rear wheels
The rear quick release wheels enable you to reduce the wheelchair’s bulk and save space, thus facilitating storage in the car or, if the wheelchair is equipped with the "narrow passage wheels" accessory, to reduce
its width and length in order to access narrow spaces.
Check that the quick release pins on the rear wheels are correctly engaged without anyone sitting on the wheelchair.
The parking brakes must be released.
Raise the rear wheel by lifting the wheelchair slightly off the ground and grasping the backrest post handle.
Grasp the rear wheel hub with your hand (without pressing down on the release pin), taking care to avoid inserting your fingers between the spokes.
Push and pull the wheel (as indicated by the arrow) to check that it fits properly: the wheel must not come off.
If the wheel comes off during this check, the axle must be adjusted.
Adjustment should only be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel.
Checking the rear wheel pins is one of the procedures that the occupant should perform periodically.
If the pins are not properly fitted, the rear wheel may come off during use, resulting in the wheelchair tipping over and possible injury to the occupant.
To remove the wheel, first release the parking brakes.
Lift the wheelchair wheel slightly off the ground, using one hand to grasp the backrest knob to facilitate the operation.
Grasp the wheel by the spokes around the hub, press the release pin button with your thumb and, without releasing, extract the wheel fully.
To fit the wheel, first release the brake.
Slightly lift the wheelchair form the ground on one side by the backrest knob.
With your hand, take hold of the rear wheel’s hub and, with your thumb, press the button of the quick release pin, keep it pressed and push the pin fully into its seat.
Release the axle quick release pin button (a click indicates correct engagement).
Always release the brake before removing and inserting the rear wheel.
Always check the correct engagement of the quick release axles.
The holes for the rear wheel positioning may pinch or crush your fingers. Take care whenever your hands are close to such holes.

2.4 Folding and reclining the backrest
This model has a folding and reclining backrest with a folding push handlebar. The two movements are independent.
Before using the wheelchair, always check that the backrest posts and the push handlebar are locked.
When folding and unfolding the backrest, be careful not to crush your fingers between the backrest post and the armrest.
The following examples refer to a wheelchair equipped with a postural system (rigid backrest, headrest, and cushion) which is not provided in the standard configuration.
Folding the backrest
Remove the armrests and the cushion.
With one hand, pull and hold the band Aup to release the system (the two pins B retract) and with your other hand, swing the backrest down.
The two posts are directly connected with the handlebar, therefore both posts will go down together.
If you need to save more room, you can remove the footrests (see chapter 2.7), the postural backrest, the castors (especially the 22” or 24” versions – see chapter 2.3) and fold the push handlebar as explained in
the chapter 2.5.

Easy Tilt 12
Unfolding the backrest
To bring the backrest to the upright position, with one hand, take hold of the push handlebar and gently swing it up until the point of the two heads Clean against the locking pins Bwithin the backrest supports D.
Now, if you keep on swinging the backrest, the pins will automatically lock into the first of the three head detent holes E.
To lock the backrest in any of the other two detent holes, see the following section “reclining backrest”.
Before using the wheelchair, always check that both pins B are completely inserted into the detent holes E.

Easy Tilt 13
Reclining the backrest
Thanks to the three detent holes on the support C, you can adjust the backrest angle (95°, 105°, 115° with respect to the seat) without using any tool.
To change the inclination of the backrest, pull the cord A(as explained above in the section “folding the backrest”) and slowly swing the backrest until both locking pins Bsecure the system in one of the other two
detent holes on the support C, after the cord has been released.
If you adjust the backrest angle with the occupant sitting on the wheelchair, take care to prevent the occupant from sliding off the seat.
The block Fprevents the backrests from falling backward in case the pin B, for any reason, does not lock into any head detent holes.
NEVER use the wheelchair continuously with the backrest leaning on the block F.
The backrest must be fixed using the head detent holes.

Easy Tilt 14
2.5 Push handlebar
You can adjust the height of the push handlebar by changing its inclination.
Take hold of both joints, press the button Pwith your index finger and swing the pivot joint upward or downward. When you release the button, the joint will lock to the new position.
OPTION HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE PUSH HANDLEBAR
This adjustment is additional to the one above mentioned.
You can adjust the push handlebar Mby means of the posts, but also by changing the inclination of the pivot joint.
You can also detach it from one or both joints to fold the wheelchair.
Height adjustment using posts
Loosen the lever Lof both supports Tjust enough to let the posts slide to the desired height. Check for equal height of both
posts to ensure the handlebar is horizontal. Once the desired height has been set, securely tighten both levers L.
On the lower side of both posts, you will see a safety detent rivet Vthat prevents the post to come off accidentally or
deliberately from the support T.
Important warning for the assistant: the push handle posts are safe only when the two levers L are tightly
fastened; this condition prevents the posts from sliding up or down or even coming off accidentally.
Before pushing the wheelchair, make sure the two posts are safely locked.
Rehateam s.r.l. is not liable for any damage or injury caused by failure to heed this warning.
You must remove the armrests to fold/unfold the backrest.

Easy Tilt 15
2.6 Tilt in space
The EASY TILT tilt-in-space function is assured by 2 gas springs (one each side) that are controlled by a single release lever Lon the push handlebar. When you press the lever, the gas springs push the seat as it
returns towards its minimum inclination position, whereas they dampen the tilting movement in the opposite direction to counteract the acceleration induced by the occupant’s weight. This keeps the tilt in space
movement speed under control in both directions.
To tilt the seat backward, press the lever Land move the push handlebar down and back.
To tilt the seat forward, press the lever Land move the push handlebar up and forward.
When you release the lever, the seat stops at the current position.
To check if the tilt-in-space function is working properly, perform a few tests without any occupant and as explained above.
In the absence of an occupant, tilting the seat backward could cause the wheelchair to pivot on the anti-tip wheels and thus raise the front wheels. This is due to the force required to compensate the
resistance of the gas springs.
When you tilt the seat frontward, after pressing the lever, you will feel the pressure from the gas spring. Without applying force and holding the lever, let the system slide all the way down.
When the seat is tilted backward, also the wheelchair’s centre of balance moves in the same direction. Hence, it is vital that the two anti-tipping wheels (5) are always positioned facing backwards as a safety
mechanism preventing the wheelchair from tipping backwards. The wheelchair could overbalance due to a combination of various factors such as the seat inclination, the type and position of the backrest, the
occupant’s anatomy and disability as well as the surface the wheelchair is used on.
The anti-tipping wheels must always be positioned facing backward to function as a safety mechanism, preventing the wheelchair from tipping backwards.
Never use the wheelchair if the anti-tip wheels are not positioned to prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards.
The seat inclination lower than 0° (if requested) is designed to facilitate movement into and out of the wheelchair, therefore, there may be interference between the front wheels and the footrest; if this
happens, you should swing the forks backward (away from the footrest) and you should use the wheelchair.
If the wheelchair with an occupant is transported on a vehicle, the seat inclination should be flat (0°) or only a few degrees tilted backwards.
The suggested seat inclination for transporting an occupied wheelchair on a vehicle is indicated by the bolt Awhen it is between 0° and the indicator B.

2.7 Footrests
Never rest your feet on the footrest when transferring to and from the wheelchair; excessive weight on the footrest may damage it and harm the occupant.
After each operation, check the footrest is always in the correct operating position.
Dual footrests are less resistant than the single version and they are therefore not suitable for occupants subject to strong spasms and/or contractions.
Depending on the occupant’s needs, the wheelchair can be provided with either of the above footrest versions.
Single footrests are more rigid than the dual versions and they are recommended for occupants subject to frequent spasms or who apply a
lot of force to the footrest.
All footrests, except those with automatic closure, when raised, enable the occupants to rest their feet on the ground more easily, especially
when transferring to and from the wheelchair.
Flipping up the footrest is a very easy operation you can perform with one hand by pulling the footrest plate upward.
To put the footrest back to the operating position, just push it down and, for a single footrest, make sure it locks in the support arm as
indicated for each type of footrest.
In the order form, according to the type of footrest, you can choose its position (internal, external or intermediate).
DUAL FOOTREST
Make sure both footrests are fully lowered before using the wheelchair.
SINGLE FLIP-UP ALUMINIUM FOOTREST
Make sure that the locking pin A is properly inserted in the recess
of support B.
OTHER INFORMATION ON FOOTREST
To comply with the rule UNI EN 12183 paragraph 6.1, when dual footrests are fitted, it is necessary to maintain the correct
clearance between the two footrest plates when lowered:
1) The footrest clearance (C) must not exceed 35 mm for wheelchairs used by adults (1).
2) The footrest clearance (C) must not exceed 25 mm for wheelchairs used by children (2).

2.8 Front frame with removable footrest
One of the features of this model is the particular footrest that you can rotate out of the way or remove completely.
These functions reduce the bulk and the weight of the wheelchair and help the occupant to get closer to objects such beds and tables.
It is also convenient for amputees who have no use for the footrest.
(1) Check that the footrest frame is securely locked to its support.
With one hand, take hold of the footrest frame and try to move it clock and anticlockwise. If it is securely locked, the footrest frame will not rotate, but you should notice just a little play.
(2) To swing the footrest frame externally, move the lever Asideward to same direction and turn the footrest frame.
(3) To swing the footrest frame internally, move the lever Asideward to same direction and turn the footrest frame.
(4) To lock the footrest frame to the operating position, swing it to the central position until it locks automatically. A click will indicate it has locked properly.
Check for proper locking as described previously.
(5) To remove the footrest frame, move the lever Afrontward and pull the footrest frame up until the axle Bcomes out of the post C. Finally, remove the footrest frame.
(6) To insert the footrest frame, first lean the fork Don the post C.
Then, lower the footrest frame until the axle Bslides into the post C.
If necessary, swing the footrest frame to the middle until it automatically locks. A click will indicate it has correctly locked (the lever Amoves automatically to the locking position).
If the wheelchair is equipped with a single footrest, it must always be raised before swinging the footrest away.
If the wheelchair is equipped with a dual footrest, it must be raised only if the footrest is swung inwards.

2.9 Height-adjustable legrest
This type of frame enables you to vary the inclination of the frame and therefore the posture of the lower limbs, without using any tools. The height-adjustable footrests can also rotate and are removable.
(1) To raise or lower (change the inclination) the footrest, hold the lower part of the footrest post, press and hold down lock button A and rotate the footrest up or down to the desired inclination.
Release push-button A and guide the footrest to the nearest engaging position.
Before pressing the lock button A, always take hold of the lower side of the footrest frame, otherwise it
will drop suddenly creating a possible risk to the occupant.
(2) To swing the footrest away (inwards or outwards), turn the lock lever B and then turn the footrest.
To lock it back, turn it to the operating position until a click indicates it is locked.
(3) To remove the footrest, turn the lock lever B, then turn the footrest externally by 90° and finally pull it off until pin C comes
out of the post D.
To insert the footrest frame, position it turned outwards by 90°, insert pin C down into post D and finally guide the footrest
until a click indicates it is locked (the lock lever B automatically moves to the locking position).
CALF SUPPORT
(4) You can easily adjust the height of the calf support without using any tools.
Pull the lever E to the side and slide the support F.
Once the new position has been set, pull the lever E to lock it.
(5) You can also swing the calf support inwards. Press the lever G in the rear side of the support and swing the support itself.
To lock the support back, just swing it to the using position until a click indicates that it is locked.
FOOTREST DISTANCE

2.10 Calf strap
In some cases, according to the castor’s size and to the wheelchair’s width, the castor, while turning on the fork’s axle, may touch the
occupant’s heel.
To prevent such contact that may lead to overbalancing, the wheelchair is provided with a calf strap. The calf strap should be adjusted
in such a way that the occupant’s feet never touch the castors.
You can easily adjust the calf strap using the provided Velcro straps.
2.11 Adjustable backrest upholstery
The backrest can be adjusted to the occupant requirements by tensioning or slackening the two special Velcro straps fitted inside the backrest itself.
To carry out the adjustment, lift or remove the upholstery, tighten, or slacken the Velcro straps as required and replace the upholstery.
If the wheelchair is provided with a postural backrest, follow the instructions of the postural system.
The combination of the inclination of the seat with the inclination of the backrest posts and the inclination of a postural backrest with respect to the posts, could result in an angle greater
than 25° with respect to the vertical. In that case, the wheelchair must have a headrest or arrangement to secure it as intended for this model.
>25°

Easy Tilt 20
2.12 Armrests
This model can be equipped with armrests.
The armrests are considered as an accessory and they should be ordered separately.
They are particularly useful for people with reduced hand or arm mobility and for occupants with limited upper body movement who require better stability once seated in the wheelchair.
Do not use the armrest as a hand hold to raise the wheelchair; this may cause the armrests to come off from their supports, damaging the wheelchair and harming the occupant.
Do not use the armrest for support when transferring to or from the wheelchair.
On the contrary, we recommend removing the armrest on the transfer side to facilitate the manoeuvre.
Armrest pads may contain phthalates that are potentially hazardous to health if ingested. Avoid scratching the padding and putting any residue on your fingers into your mouth or,
worse still, nibbling or sucking on the padding itself (as may occur with children).
