safety instructions
4
1) Before using your wheelchair for the first time read the user manual carefully.
2) Only use the wheelchair for its intended purpose.
3) Check all parts of the wheelchair for damage before each use.
4) Practice handling your new wheelchair on level ground and with a friend, take extra care
until your are confident handling your wheelchair.
5) Users of the wheelchair must exercise extreme caution when faced with obstacles. Ramps or
other suitable equipment should be used whenever possible. If the wheelchair (with an occupant)
needs to be lifted over an obstacle this should only be attempted with at least two helpers.
The maximum safe slope for this wheelchair is 10°, a slope of approximately 1 in 6.
6) Wheelchairs MUST NOT be used on escalators.
7) Exercise caution when parking your wheelchair on hills or steep gradients. BOTH BRAKES
must be applied to avoid ROLLING and TIPPING.
8) The wheelchair must not be used as a shower chair or to pull or transport goods and
MUST NOT be exposed to sea water and sand.
9) The maximum body weight of the user is 300kg.
Please note: When folding/unfolding the wheelchair, when fitting or removing the foot rests or when
adjusting arm rests or applying the parking brake, there is a danger of entrapment for fingers and
other body parts. When removing the foot rests, please ensure that the black plastic caps are insert-
ed in to the foot rest mounting to prevent entrapment. See section 1.2.
ALWAYS TAKE GREAT CARE WHEN PERFORMING THESE OPERATIONS.
Special precautions on uneven ground
The wheelchair is for indoor and outdoor use on a flat and firm surface. Caution must be exercised
when using on slippery surfaces such as wet or icy pavements or when using on ramps or steps.
Seek help when travelling over difficult surfaces.
Always be aware of risks when travelling over uneven surfaces and assess safety before attempting.

Owner’s Manual

Transportation
Transporting your wheechair must be by the frame only and in no case should the wheelchair be
carried using the foot rests, the arm rests or the back rest. With a seated occupant, obstacles such
as staircases should only be attempted with assistance. Swivel the anti-tip arms on the rear of the
wheel chair through 180° (see section 3.7 on anti-tip arms). Once the steps are traversed the anti-tip
arms must be replaced to their original position and secured.
Please see section 4.3 for vehicular transportation.
Brakes
Before every use test the brakes to ensure that they are working correctly. To ensure the safety
of your wheelchair the braking system should only be serviced by authorised service personnel.
Setting instructions for parking brake
If the axis position of the rear wheels has been modified, the brakes must be checked to ensure
correct function.
Correctly adjusted brakes to the rear wheels will, when applied, prevent the rear wheels from rotating.
If for any reason the wheels can rotate you MUST check brake shoes for wear or incorrect adjustment.
DO NOT use your chair with faulty brakes. Consult a qualified service engineer if in any doubt.
If the braking effect of the drum brakes decreases noticeably it may mean that the brakes need
adjusting or shoes may need replacing. The wheelchair must not be used and must be repaired by
an authorised dealer/qualified engineer.
Operating forces of the parking brake
Ensure the brake levers are adjusted to enable the user to operate them easily on both sides.
If the user experiences difficulties, brake levers can be extended by up to 4cm which will significantly
reduce the operating force required (see section 3.2). Ensure that the brake levers are used only for
the purpose of operating the brakes.

Adjusting the drum brakes
To set the drum brakes, remove the wheel and unscrew the locking nut on the end of the brake cable
where it passes through the brake drum assembly (see section 3.4). Operate the brake lever, so that the
brake shoes in the brake drum are centred in the assembly. Replace the wheel and adjust the brake
cable half a turn at a time to ensure that the wheel can turn freely with no brake pressure applied. Test
the brake system by applying the brake to ensure that the wheel cannot revolve. Remove the wheel
and check that the brake shoes both move evenly when operating the brake and tighten the locking nut
in position. Ensure all fixings on the brake system are secure and the brake system is fully functional.
Adjusting rear wheels
The wheel mountings for the rear wheels can be adjusted vertically and horizontally, to suit the
wheelchair user’s needs and preferences. Vertical adjustment will change the seat height and the
seat angle. It is important to note that if the wheelchair height is adjusted by altering the rear wheels,
the front wheels must also be adjusted to maintain stability, (see section 3.4).
If the rear wheels are moved forward i.e. horizontal direction adjustment (to suit certain clients), the
centre of gravity of the wheelchair will be altered. There will be an increased risk of tipping and the
anti-tip system should be fitted to avoid this happening.
Rear wheels with anti-tip kit fitted
Before using your wheelchair ensure the anti-tip kit is securely attached and mounted correctly.
Front wheel settings
Different diameters of front wheels are available. It is important to ensure that the control heads on
the front wheel forks are vertical.
Be careful when driving on a gradient
Different gradients and obstacles can create problems and lead to a risk of tipping and falling.
Changing the posture of the user in the chair can help increase stability. Sitting back in the chair
when descending a gradient and leaning forward when climbing up a gradient can also help improve
stability but care must always be taken to ensure user safety.
Adjustment of brakes should only be done by qualified personnel
Increased risk of tipping due to wheel repositioning
Be aware of potential accident risk when driving on steep gradients and
assess for safety before attempting
Note: If smaller front wheels are used, the position of the rear wheels must
be adjusted forward to align vertically. It may also be necessary to adjust
the rear wheel dimensions.

1.1 Unfolding the wheelchair
The wheelchair is designed so that it can easily be
unfolded. To do this place one hand on each side of the
raised seat and press down until the seat is horizontal
and clicks in to place (see fig. 2). Place the hard based
cushion with the hook and loop tapes on to the seat, the
tapes will hold the cushion in place.
Note: the Goliath should not be used without the seat
cushion provided (or a suitable base board under an
alternative cushion) being on the chair.
Fix the rear push bar in place by attaching to the handles
at the rear of the wheelchair (see fig. 3).
1.2 Attaching the foot rests
To attach the foot rests, first remove the black caps from
the foot rest mounting brackets (see fig. 4). IMPORTANT:
Retain in a safe place as these must be replaced if foot
rests are removed, to avoid entrapment. Place foot rests
directly in to mounting points to ensure they are located
securely. Note: the foot supports must be pointing inside
the frame (see fig. 4a).
1.3 Folding the wheelchair
Release the rear push bar by unscrewing the black caps
screwed in to the handles at the rear of the chair.
Fully remove one screw cap but only loosen the other.
The horizontal push bar will then drop in to a vertical
position to allow the wheelchair to be folded. The rear
push bar can be fully removed if required by removing
both black screw caps from the handles. Ensure the foot
rests and seat cushion are removed. Grasp the chair at
the front and back of the seat and pull upwards and the
wheelchair should fold easily (see fig. 5).

2.1 Removing the arm rests
To remove the arm rests loosen the lower knurled bolt, the
arm rest will slide up and out of the housing (see fig. 6).
2.2 Inserting the arm rests
To insert the arm rests first ensure the allen bolt and
knurled boltare not protruding through the arm rest
mounting, then insert the arm rest. The arm rest should
slide down into the mounting. Tighten the allen bolt and
knurled bolt when the arm rest is fully inserted, the arm
rest should then be locked in place (see fig. 7).
2.3 Setting the height adjustable
arm rests
You can adjust the arm rest to suit your requirements.
Loosen the allen bolt (using a 4mm allen key) and knurled
bolt and raise or lower to the desired position. Once in
position, tighten the allen bolt and knurled bolt to secure
(see fig. 8).
2.4 Setting the splash guard
To adjust the position of the splash guard, unscrew the
handle on the splash guard mounting (see fig. 9), the
splash guard will slide out vertically. Once in the desired
postion, re-tighten the handle to secure.

2.5 Removing the foot rests
There are times when the foot rests should not be used,
e.g. when transporting the wheelchair. To remove the foot
rests first swivel the foot supports vertically so they are
facing upwards. To do this, press the silver quick
release button on the foot support (see fig.10).
Grasp the foot rest firmly and pull it vertically upwards,
the foot rest will slide out of the mountings. Repeat the
process to remove the other foot rest.
2.6 Folding the foot supports
In order to enter or leave the wheelchair you can fold the
foot supports vertically. To do this ensure that the brakes
are applied to prevent the wheelchair rolling, press the
silver quick release button (see fig. 11) on the foot
support and swivel each foot support vertically so they
are facing upwards.
2.7 Setting the foot rest height
The foot rest is fitted with a telescopic adjustment
of approximately 12cm to allow the foot support to be
positioned to suit the user’s needs. Before adjusting
ensure the brakes are applied to prevent the wheelchair
rolling. Using an allen key (4mm) and 10mm spanner
remove the allen head bolt on the foot rest (See fig. 12).
Adjust the height of the foot support in 3cm stages to suit
your requirements. Ensure allen head bolts are tightened
once adjustment is complete.
Important: replace black caps to foot
rest mountings to prevent entrapment
Ensure all bolts are secured before
using foot rests and that both foot
rests have been adjusted correctly

2.8 Setting the elevating leg rests.
The procedure for attaching, removing or setting the height
is identical to that for standard leg rests.
Before adjusting, ensure the brakes are applied to prevent
the wheelchair rolling. With the aid of an assistant to
adjust the elevation of the leg rests, slacken the
handle (shown in fig. 13) at the top of the elevating foot
rest. This will allow the foot rests to be raised or lowered.
Once the desired position is achieved, tighten the handle.
A calf support can be moved up or down by slackening
the cap head bolts with a 5mm allen key. The foot support
can be easily adjusted up to 20cm by slackening
the cap head bolt and re-tightening after adjustment.
3.1 Operating the parking brake
The brakes are one of the most important safety elements
of your wheelchair. You must always make sure that they
are functioning correctly. Braking can be affected by
damaged tyre tread, wet tyres, or by a loose brake
mechanism. To operate the parking brake press both
brake levers forward to apply the brakes. To release the
brakes simply pull back on both brake levers (see fig. 14).
Care should be taken to avoid
entrapment in the mechanism when
adjusting

Owner’s Manual
®

fig.16
fig.15
fig.17
Ensure that the wheels run freely with
no brake applied and are locked when
the brake is applied
Note this must be checked after any
adjustment of seat height, seat tilt or
width, repositioning of rear wheels or
replacement of tyres
3.2 Setting the parking brake
Ensure that the parking brake is in the OFF position.
Loosen both 10mm nuts usinga ring or open ended span-
ner. Re-position as required re-tighten both and check that
when brake handle is pushed forward, the rear wheel does
not rotate. (see fig. 15).
3.3 Operating the drum brake
There are two positions in which the brakes can be locked.
The first position applies a light braking force and in the
second position the brakes are fully applied.
The carer/attendant can operate the drum brakes by pulling
lightly upwards on the rear brake handles (see fig. 16).
A light braking force can be continuously applied (when on
slopes or uneven surfaces to control walking speed) by
pulling the brake levers lightly and pressing the locking
mechanism in the first position. To release the locking
mechanism simply pull the brake levers upwards (the
locking mechanism is automatically released).
To stop the wheelchair fully, pull firmly upwards on the brake
levers and at the same time press the locking mechanism.
This will set the brakes in the second position and the
wheelchair brakes will be fully locked.
3.4 Adjusting the drum brake
Drum brakes are fitted as standard (for use by both the
occupant and/or carer/helper) and it is important to ensure
that they are functioning correctly. Problems can occur due to
worn brake shoes, or other damage to the brake mechanism.
The drum brakes can be adjusted by simply unscrewing
the locking screw (B) and adjusting the cable tensioning
(see fig. 17).

3.5 Removing the drive wheels
You can remove the drive wheels. First remove black
plastic dust cap from the nut on the end of the axle
mounting frame on the inside of the wheelchair and black
plastic dust cap on outside of wheel. Next, using a 19mm
open end or ring spanner and a 20mm socket, remove the
19mm nut on the inside of the frame. The wheel and shaft
will then slide horizontally out from the frame (see fig. 18).
To reinstall the wheels, reverse the procedure.
After reinstalling wheels always check that they are
correctly fixed in position and secured.
`
3.6 Adjusting the steering wheels
If the seat height is adjusted (3.7) the steering wheel height
should also be adjusted. Before adjusting, ensure the
brakes are applied to prevent the wheelchair rolling. With
two ring, or open-ended spanners (13mm) undo the wheel
axle. Remove and reposition the steering wheel by using
one of the additional fixing holes (see fig. 19). Once in
position refasten all fixings. Repeat for the other wheel.
When fitting or removing the wheels,
make sure that the brakes are released.
Ensure all fixings are secure

3.7 Adjusting seat height
The seat height on the Goliath wheelchair can be adjusted
from 45cm – 54cm in 3cm steps. To adjust the seat height
first remove both wheels (see section 3.5), the drum brake
assembly will now be visible. Remove the circlip at the
bottom of the brake shoes. This will allow the brake shoes
to separate and provide access for a 22mm open ended
spanner to be applied to the wheel mounting hub. Using a
24mm ring or open ended spanner on the nyloc nut on the
inside of the frame (see fig. 20) and a 22mm open ended
spanner on the inside of the drum brake assembly remove
the wheel mounting hub and drum brake assembly.
When re-positioning the wheel mounting hub, the bracket
that prevents flexing of the brake drum assembly must
also be repositioned (see arrow on fig. 21). To re-position
the anti-flex bracket, slacken the black allen head bolt on
the brake drum assembly (using 4mm allen key and
10mm open ended spanner). Next remove the two cap
head bolts from the aluminium anti flex bracket (using
4mm allen key and 10mm ring or open ended spanner)
and remove the bracket. Once the position of the wheel
mounting hub has been decided, fix the anti-flex bracket
in the corresponding position, replace and tighten cap
head bolts, re-attach the wheel mounting hub and fasten
securely. Fix the brake shoe assembly in position using
the circlip. Re-attach and secure the black cap head bolt
from the drum brake assembly to the anti-flex bracket.
Ensure all fixings are tightened and secured and check to
ensure the drum brakes are functioning. Replace the drive
wheels as in section 3.5.
Note: There is an increased risk of tipping,
reposition front wheel to suit new seat
height. Ensure brake system is still
functioning correctly
Note: Do not remove any of the brake
linkage attachments

3.8 Fitting and adjusting the anti-tip
arms
To install the anti-tip arms on to the lower shafts at the
rear of the wheelchair frame, press the silver quick release
button on the anti-tip arm (see fig. 22). To adjust ant-tip
arms horizontally, press silver quick release button until it
passes through the mounting. The anti-tip arm can now
be moved horizontally.
N.B. there are 3 possible positions, 3cm apart allowing a
total of 9cm horizontal adjustment. Once adjustment has
been made, ensure the quick release button is clearly
showing through the frame and the arm cannot be moved.
3.9 Adjusting the anti-tip arms
vertically
Using a 4mm allen key and 10mm ring or open ended
spanner remove the allen bolt (see fig. 23). With the allen
bolt completely removed slide the arm up or down to the
required location. There are 5 possible locations 2cm
apart (do not use the uppermost location).
4.1 Adjusting the seat depth
The seat depth can be adjusted from 45cm – 54cm in
3cm increments. To adjust the seat depth, remove the
anti-tip arms (see section 3.8). On the upper and lower
shafts (see fig. 24) remove the allen head bolts using
5mm allen key and 12mm ring or open ended spanner
(this must be done on both side of frame).
Caution: Two operatives required

the shafts. Repeat on all four shafts. Next, remove all grey
spacer blocks from the shafts (see fig. 26) and set aside.
Remove parking brake assembly brackets from the frame
(using 5mm allen key and 10mm ring or open ended
spanner) (see fig. 27). Place the wheelchair on its back so
that the push handle is against the floor. Grasp the chair
firmly by the front steering wheel and pull vertically
upwards (you may need a second person to assist by
holding the cross frame in place). The steering wheel and
shafts will slide out of the frame (see fig. 28). Repeat on
other side of chair. Once steering wheels and shafts have
been removed from the frame seat adjustment is possible.
Adjustment can be made in 3cm increments using the
grey spacers removed from the rear of the shafts above.
For each 3cm of adjustment 4 spacers are required one on
each of the four shafts. Therefore if the chair is set at
45cm and 48cm is required, use 4 spacers. Place one
spacer on top of each of the four openings on the cross
brace. For 6cm use two spacers on each shaft and for
9cm 3 spacers on each shaft (see fig 29).
Note: Spacers not used at the front of the cross bar must
be replaced at the rear once the drive wheels and shafts
have been reinstalled i.e. For 3cm adjustment, 1 spacer at
the front and 2 spacers behind the cross brace on each
shaft. For 6cm adjustment, 2 spacers at the front and
1 spacer behind the cross brace. For 9cm adjustment,
3 spacers in front, no spacers behind the cross brace on
each shaft.
