5. Usage
Lifting the wheelchair
The wheelchair with a load should only be lifted behind the rear axle and side frames marked in
the drawing below:
WARNING! It is forbidden to move the wheelchair with a load by the footrests, armrests or
folding handles (option).
Techniques to get in and out of the wheelchair
Teaching techniques of transferring the User must be done under the strict supervision of qualified
staff. We only present our recommendations below.
Transferring the User from the wheelchair to the bed
The User should face the bed without regard on the fact if
the other person helps or not. Drive the wheelchair as close
to the bed as possible and ensure, that front wheels are
facing towards. Pull the brake, lift the armrests / side panels
on his side of the wheelchair, on which the transfer to the
bed will take place
Transferring the User from the bed to the wheelchair
The User should face the bed without regard on the fact if
the other person helps or not. Drive the wheelchair as close
to the bed as possible and ensure, that front wheels are
facing towards. The Attendants should use mainly the
strength of muscles of legs to draw the wheelchair on stairs
avoiding the excessive bending down and impairing the
muscles of backs.
Driving the wheelchair
The correct weight distribution is a basic element of proper wheelchair usage. The correct
wheelchair operation depends not only on weight but also on body proportions, the position of the
person seating in the wheelchair and the position of the rear wheels. The larger the weight
proportion of the User resting on the rear wheels the easier it is to propel. The larger the weight
proportion of the User resting on the front wheels the harder it is to propel the wheelchair.
WARNING! Always ensure, that the brake is applied, when the Attendant is leaving the
1

05/2020 Strona 7 z 23 Icon 60 Vario S
wheelchair with the User sitting in it.
WARNING! Always ensure, that the front casters always point forwards, if the wheelchair
stands still, to enlarge their contact with the base.
How to ride on a threshold
User facing the threshold
(We advise, to use the below mentioned technique only by experienced wheelchair Users)
Drive the wheelchair as close to the threshold as possible
Incline the wheelchair backwards balancing on the rear wheels and lift the front turning wheels to the height of the
threshold. Push the rear wheels forwards and in the same time lean over transferring the weight to the front of the
wheelchair.
Attendant and User facing the threshold
The Attendant inclines the wheelchair backwards by using the step pedal, allowing the front casters to come off the
base. Drive forward until the rear wheels touch the edge. Use the handles at the back of the wheelchair to lift the rear
wheels on the threshold.

Down the stairs:
Carrying the wheelchair down the stairs should be done in the same way as carrying it up as described above.
6. Cleaning & Disinfection
Frame
The frame ought to be cleaned with use of a damp cloth or alternatively with the addition of a soft detergent. After that
it should be wiped with a dry rag. The frame should be regularly inspected, to find damages of the paint, which may
cause corrosion. In case of any visible frame damages (cracks, painting defects etc.) ask your local dealer for
diagnostics and maintenance.
The seat and back are made of very durable, reinforced nylon and breathable spacer fabric. The seat upholstery can
be easily removed by unhooking the Velcro and removing it from the frame tubes. The seat and upholstery of the
backrest can be washed with a sponge and a mild washing detergent, or machine washed at 20 °.
Normal dirt on the metal and the plastic parts can be removed with standard cleaning agents and sponge or soft rag.

05/2020 Strona 10 z 23 Icon 60 Vario S
Check out specific product information and only use commercial cleaning products which are suitable for cleaning and
disinfection (no solvents or abrasives).
For disinfection please contact your dealer to be sure is made by professional personnel. However, for individual use
we recommend using the generally available disinfectants without chlorine and phenol. The manufacturer is not
responsible for the damage caused by wrong usage of disinfectants.
7. Maintenance & Service
Despite the solid construction and usage of resistant materials the product is subject to wear. It is therefore
recommended to have a professional checking the product at regular intervals
For basic service actions a set of socket wrenches, adjustable spanner, flat head- and cross screwdriver will be
enough.
Parts, which should be regularly inspected:
Part name Control Type Control frequency
Tyres Check tyre pressure (4,0 - 6,5 bar), condition of tread and tyres
.
One should take care, to keep the pres
sure in both tyres on the
same level. Harder tyres provide better maneuverability and
easiness of driving but reduce comfort on bumpy surfaces.
At least once a week
Front castor
assembly
Check that the screws are properly tightened. Looseness of the
front
fork can cause damage, breakage of bolts which can cause
an accident, check and remove dirt, hair from the front wheel axles
At least once a week
Spokes
Loose spokes can cause deformation of the rear wheels. Contact
your dealer or local bicycle service t
o manage the problem of loose
spokes.
If the problem occurs
Wheel axles Check that they are not dirty. Remove all impurities. If necessary
Push Rims Check for deformation and wear. They can lead to hand injuries. If necessary
Brakes The braking force de
pends on the tyre pressure. The efficiency of
brake operation can be also affected with dirt accumulated on
tyres. Keep the brakes clean wiping them with a damp cloth to
remove dirt, and lubricating the funnel of screws, on which the
brake levers turn. Check the brake horizontal position.
At least once a week.
Frame It is recommended to keep the frame clean to better control wear
At least once a month,
depending on usage
conditions
Front castor The area between the fork and the front wheel should be kep
t
clean, because dirt accumulating there can cause faster wear of
caster bearings. To do so, one should disassemble the front caster
by disassembling it from the fork, to remove all dirt, and then
preserve the metal elements of the wheel (i.e. to apply tec
hnical
grease).
At least once a month, if
necessary.
Detachable
elements
Check the condition of detachable elements of the wheelchair; if
screws are loose, they should be tightened. Once a month.
Most common problems and solutions
If you notice any irregularities in the wheelchair’s functioning, do not use it – you should contact your local point of sale
or the service department of the wheelchair supplier. The manufacturer does not warranty correctness of the
wheelchair operation, if non-original parts are used.

Incorrect settings can result in an excessively unstable wheelchair which may be dangerous for the user.
Always contact your dealer if changes are thought to be needed.
14.1.1. ICON 60 Vario S
ICON 60 Vario S - is the basic model of wheelchairs. ICON 60 is mainly made of high quality aluminum. It has many
rear axle and wheels settings. Different degrees of sagittal plane stability (or "tipsiness") can be selected according to
the level of user activity. The angle of the front fork is adjustable, which allows great adjustment of seat height and
seat angles.
14.1. 2 Frame Settings
The frame construction allows to adjust the angle and height of the seat, as well as various degrees of stability by
adjusting the center of gravity of the wheelchair relative to the position of the rear axle.
• Moving the axle position closer to the center of gravity makes the wheelchair easier to use dynamically for active
wheelchair users.
• Moving the axle position further away from the center of gravity makes the trolley more stable - passive.
The frame design allows you to adjust the angle and height of the seat.
•seat angle and / or height by changing to a different front wheel diameter
•seat angle by changing the position of the rear wheels.
•the angle of the front axle of the fork to adjust perpendicularity to the floor
• seat depth by horizontal adjustment of the backrest position; this affects the center of gravity and the stability and
maneuverability of the wheelchair
•
14.1.3 Rear Wheels
Depending on the specification, the wheelchair can be equipped with 24-inch main wheels with drive trains, pneumatic
or polyurethane tires, resistant to puncture.
