QUICK CHAIR SETUP
Wheels
1. When installing wheels on your chair, always check to make sure the axles
have been locked into place.
2. Depress the quick-release button fully. Insert the axle through
the hub of the rear wheel and release the button.
3. Pull on the wheel to make sure it is fully inserted and locked. Repeat these
steps on the other side of your chair.
4. Ask your Authorized Dealer to adjust the axle if it does not lock.
5. To remove the wheels, depress the quick-release button fully and pull the
wheel out of the hub.
Note: You should remove the wheels for transport or storage.
Backrest and Seating
1. Pull the release cord in the rear of the chair and pull up on the backrest
until the pin locks into place.
2. Place the cushion on the seat sling. Do not sit directly on the seat sling.
3. Sit in your wheelchair. If you note any areas of discomfort or misalignment
contact your Authorized Dealer for assistance.
4. If you have tension adjustable upholstery, consult your wner’s Manual for
adjustment and comfort tips to make sure you are properly supported.
Wheel Locks
The Quickie 5Rcomes with either push-to-lock, pull-to-lock, or scissor-type
wheel locks.
1. Always engage your wheel lock for any activity other than driving the chair.
Transfers, changing clothes, and reaching for any reason require that the
wheel locks be fully engaged. This will aid in your stability.
2. You can engage your wheel lock by pushing or pulling the handle until you
feel the lever lock into place.
3. To disengage the wheel lock, grasp the handle and move it in the opposite
direction until the locking arm releases the wheel.
4. The wheel lock arm must be embedded into the tire at least ⅛”. Ensure
the wheel lock is properly adjusted for your safety.

Footrest
1. The footrest should come to you correctly installed. For your safety, the
clearance from the bottom of the footrest to the riding surface should be
between 1½” and 2”.
2. If the footrest is either too high or too low, please have your Authorized
Dealer adjust it for you before using the chair.
3. If the footrest comes loose or the height needs to be adjusted, you may use
a hex key to loosen both of the footrest clamps. You can then lower or
raise the footrest to the desired height. Tighten the set screws after you are
finished with the adjustment.
Padded Swing-Away Armrests
1. Swing-away armrests can be added to the chair.
2. Insert the bottom of the armrest into the receiver tube and align the
detent buttons to the slots in the receiver. If seated properly, your armrest
will be secure and will not move or swing-out.
3. Pulling up slightly on the armrest will unlock it. It can then be rotated
rearwards or fully removed.
4. During a transfer, the armrest is usually rotated out of the way or fully
removed.
Anti-Tip
1. The anti-tip should come to you correctly installed. For your safety, check
the clearance from the bottom of the anti-tip to the riding surface. The
clearance should be between 1 ½” and 2”.
2. If the anti-tip is either too high or too low, please have your Authorized
Dealer adjust it for you before using the chair.
3. If you encounter an obstacle, flip the anti-tips up so that they clear the
obstacle and don’t get hung up, which can cause a safety issue for the rider.
The help of a caregiver may be needed to help with this action.
