4. Usage
How to lift the chair
Lift the wheelchair using the push handles and the front upper corners of the wheelchair
frame, where the leg rests are attached.
WARNING! It is not allowed to lift the wheelchair by holding it by the legrests or the
armrests! We recommend detaching the legrests before lifting the chair.
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. Pull the
brake, lift the legrests. Do not climb the legrests, it can cause falling
over the wheelchair. 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 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.

Overcoming slopes
Please follow below instructions when driving on a slope:
Avoid direction changes
Try to ride a straight line. Do not turn sideways.
Do not hesitate to ask for help to avoid unnecessary risks.
When driving up the slope lean forwards to transfer the center of gravity to the front making the
wheelchair more stable.
When riding down the slope lean backwards to transfer the center of gravity to the back making the
wheelchair more stable
Control the speed by using the rear wheels' hand-rims, not by using the brakes.
Climbing up and down the stairs
WARNING! Always ask other persons for help. The wheelchair must be carried by at least 2 people who are fit
and healthy to perform this task
WARNING! Never ride with the wheelchair on an escalator neither on your own nor with the help of another
person.
Up the stairs:
Push the wheelchair to the stair touching the first step with the rear wheels. Use the
handles to incline the wheelchair backwards. The second attendant should grasp the
lower front corners of the frame
WARNING! Never lift the wheelchair by grabbing the legrests.
Carry the wheelchair slowly up the stairs, step by step. After overcoming the last step
pull the wheelchair backwards until the front casters can be lowered onto the floor The
attendants should use mainly the strength of their leg muscles to carry the wheelchair
avoiding excessive bending down and impairing of back muscles.
Down the stairs:
Carrying the wheelchair down the stairs should be done in the same way as carrying it up as described above.
Transport recommendations
The ICON wheelchair is easy to transport. It can be folded and disassembled to reduce
size and weight. It is possible to detach the rear wheels and the legrests and to fold the
chair's cross frame very easily as was described previously.

5. Cleaning
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.
Upholstery
The seat and the backrest are made of a very durable strengthened nylon. The seat upholstery can be easily removed
by removing the screws from the frame tubes. The backrest upholstery can be removed by removing the screws from
the backrest tubes. The seat and the backrest upholstery can be washed with use of a sponge and gentle washing
soap.
Normal dirt on the metal and the plastic parts can be removed with standard cleaning agents and sponge or soft rag.
Check out specific product information and only use commercial cleaning products which are suitable for cleaning and
disinfection (no solvents or abrasives).
6. 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
sufficient.
Parts, which should be regularly inspected:
Part name
Control type
Control frequency
Tyres
Tyre pressure (2,0-2,2 bar), condition of tread and tyres. One should
take care, to keep the pressure 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
Tightness of bolts. A front fork angle adjustment with play can cause
breaking of the bolts and tipping over of the chair.
At least once a week
Spokes
Loose spokes can cause deformation of the rear wheels. Contact your
dealer or local bicycle service to manage the problem of loose spokes.
If the problem occurs
Wheel axles
Remove the hair or accumulated dirt
If necessary
Push Rims
Excessively scratched push rims ought to be exchanged because they
can wound the user’s hands while riding the wheelchair
If necessary
Brakes
The braking force depends 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 also lubricating the funnel of screws, on which the brake levers
turn. Check the brake horizontal position.
Control the correctness of
brake operation at least
once a week
Frame
Keep the wheelchair clean for better comfort of the user.
At least once a month,
depending on usage
conditions
Turning wheels
The area between the fork and the front wheel should be kept 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 technical grease).
The maintenance ought to
be made once a month or
more often depending on
usual surface type &
conditions
Detachable
elements
Check the condition of detachable elements of the wheelchair; if
screws are loose they should be tightened.
In case of intensive
exploitation of the
wheelchair the inspection
should be carried out
once a month.

Service Manual.
9.1.3. ICON 30
The ICON 30 has multiple rear axle settings for Self-Propelled and Attendant-Propelled setups with wheels of
different sizes.
Different degrees of sagittal plane stability (or “tipsiness”) can be selected according to the activity level of
the User.
The front caster angle is adjustable which allows for a large combination of seat heights and seat angles to
accommodate all kinds of wheelchair users.
Frame settings
The frame design allows for adjustment range of seat angle and height, as well as different degrees of stability by
adjusting the wheelchair’s Center of Gravity (CoG) relative to the rear wheel axle position.
Moving the axle position closer to the CoG makes the chair easier to tip and more “responsive” for the active
wheelchair drivers.
Moving the axle position further away from the CoG makes the chairs less likely to tip and suitable for users
who need more stability and safety.

The frame design allows for adjustment of the seat angle and seat height. Adjustments include: -
the angle and/or the height of the seat by changing to another diameter front caster and/or rear wheel
the angle of the seat by changing the position of the rear wheels.
The angle of the front fork axle to adjust it perpendicular to the floor.
Adjustments of rear wheel assembly
To reposition the rear wheel, disconnect
and detach the wheel bushing (1) from the
hole in the black assembly plate and
insert the bushing into the other available
hole in the plate keeping the correct order
of washers and nuts.
If a wider range of adjustments is required
untie the 4 bolts (2) which attach the black
assembly plate to the frame tube, move
the plate up or down to the required
position and then reinsert and tie the 4
bolts in the new position.
If a more backward stability is required
(e.g. after lower limb amputations) the
rear wheel can be mounted at position (3)
to move the centre of gravity to the rear
using a special adaptor.
Adjustments of front caster assembly
When the position or the size of the rear or front wheels is
modified, it may be necessary to adjust the angle of the caster to
avoid “wheel flutter” and provide a smooth, straight ride.
The head of the front fork assembly (1) should always be
positioned at a 90angle to the floor. After changing the wheel
set-up, adjustment of that angle is necessary.
To adjust angle of the front fork:
Loosen the 2 bolts (2). Adjust the front fork assembly
until the vertical axle of the bearing house (1) is at a 90
angle with the floor
Re-tighten the bolts.

To modify the seat height, you can assemble the front wheels in
various positions (3). (In this picture a front fork with 5 different
positions is used.) The various holes also allow assembling front
wheels with different diameters.
WARNING! All above adjustments can only be done by
qualified service or advised by a physical therapist. For
detailed instructions check out the Service Manual.
9.1.4. ICON 40
The ICON 40 has the most flexible design of the wheelchairs from the ICON Mobility System.
It has a seat depth adjustable frame with multiple wheel, axle, cross bar and front caster set up options.
This ranges from active self-propelling drivers to rehabilitation purposes, where a high degree of control, support and
stability is required.
Frame settings
The frame design allows a wide adjustment range of seat angle, height and depth, as well as different degrees of
stability by adjusting the wheelchair’s Center of Gravity (CoG) relative to the rear wheel axle position.
Moving the axle position closer to the CoG makes the chair easier to tip and more “responsive” for the active
wheelchair drivers.
Moving the axle position further away from the CoG makes the chairs less likely to tip and suitable for users
who need more stability and safety.
To accommodate taller and shorter users the seat depth can be changed by adjusting the seat tubes and the
upholstery.
The frame design allows for a wide adjustment of the seat angle, the seat height and the seat depth. You can change:
the angle and/or the height of the seat by changing to another diameter front caster and/or rear wheel.
the angle of the seat by changing the position of the rear wheels.
The angle of the front fork axle to adjust it perpendicular to the floor.
The seat depth by horizontal adjustment of the rear wheel axle position; this allows influencing the stability and
maneuverability of the chair.

Version 06/19 Page 16 of 32 Icon UM EN
WARNING! All below adjustments should only be made by qualified service person and/or advised by a
physical therapist qualified in wheelchair setup.
Adjustment of rear wheel height
Detach the rear wheel using the quick release button.
Unscrew the wheel bushing (1) from the black assembly plate and insert it into one of the other holes (2).
Tighten the bushing on the plate maintaining the correct order of washers and nuts
Repeat all above for the other wheel.
Horizontal adjustment of the rear wheels
For users who need increased stability, e.g. after lower extremity amputation, the axle plate is moved rearwards
relative to the seat frame. It is recommended to use anti-tip supports to protect the wheelchair against tipping over.
Note also that a longer wheelbase makes maneuvering with the chair more difficult.
To increase the maneuverability and responsiveness, the axle plates can be moved to the front position. It is easier to
maneuver with a wheelchair when the rear wheels are in a front position, but the rearwards stability is much lower. If
the wheels are adjusted to the front position, the wheelchair should always be equipped with activated anti-tip supports
to protect it against tipping over. Persons with amputated leg(s) should never use the chair with wheels set in a front
position. The risk of tipping over is too high.
The position of the wheel assembly plate can be changed to six other positions relative to the back cane assembly (9)
Unscrew bolts (3) & (4) which hold the wheel assembly plate to the frame tubes.
Move the wheel assembly plate to the required position (forward or rearward), then reinsert and retie the bolts.
Repeat all above for the other side of the frame.
WARNING! If the position of the rear wheels is changed, it is necessary to adjust the brakes position
accordingly.
WARNING! Settings on both sides of the frame should be identical.
The seat depth is determined as the distance from the lumbar spine to the knee crease, less an adequate amount of
space to give clearance for clothing and free space so as not to impede blood circulation at the back of the knee.

Adjustment of seat depth
This is done by moving the rear back cane assembly (9)over the top rail of the side frame.
PLEASE NOTE: the rear axle assembly (4) needs to be repositioned to ensure functional stability for the user.
If the crossbar (5) is to be moved back after moving of the back cane assembly (9), please ensure the front of the seat
tubes are supported on the side frame by moving the front seat tube support (8)rearward on the side frame ends. To
make the adjustments:
Loosen bolts (5) & (6) which attach the cross to the frame.
Slide the crossbar with seat tubes to the required position.
Reinsert and tighten all bolts to secure the cross and armrest bracket in the new position.
Repeat all above for the other side of the frame.
Along with the crossbar, the seat tubes have been moved during that adjustment. Ensure that the seat tube supports
are in proper position supporting the tube ends so that all the 4 corners of the seat are stable:
Untie the bolt (7).
Move the support (8)into the position it provides a stable support for the front end of the seat. Then tighten the bolt
(7).
then:
Untie the 3 bolts which attach the seat and backrest support (9) to the frame.
Move the support (9)into the position it provides support for the rear end of the seat. Then tighten the 3 bolts.
Repeat all above for the other side of the frame.
Adjustments of front caster assembly
When the position or the size of the rear or front wheels is
modified, it may be necessary to adjust the angle of the caster to
avoid “wheel flutter” and provide a smooth, straight ride.
The bearing house with axle (1) should always be positioned at a
90angle to the floor. After changing the wheel set-up,
adjustment of that angle is necessary.
To adjust angle of the front fork:
Loosen the 2 bolts (2). Slide the front fork assembly up
or down until the vertical axle of the bearing house (1) is
at a 90angle with the floor
Re-tighten the bolts.
To modify the seat height you can assemble the front wheels in
various positions (3). (In this picture a front fork with 5 different
positions is used.) The various holes also allow assembling front
wheels with different diameters.
WARNING! All above adjustments can only be done by
qualified service or advised by a physical therapist.
For detailed instructions check out the Service Manual.
WARNING! Settings on both sides of the frame should be identical!
WARNING! Every modification of the seat position has a direct influence on the balance and maneuverability
of the wheelchair. Apart from the seat position adjustment it might be necessary to re-adjust the wheel
position to keep it safe and maneuverable.
