INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Steel wheelchair
Product code: K7
1. Characteristics
The wheelchair is made of powder coated steel frame. It possesses
durable seat made of plastic material resistant to dirt and water. The
frame of the wheelchair was specially reinforced in order to provide
maximum capacity up to 225 kg. Owing to short demountable
armrests, it is possible to ride up to the table as close as possible. The
wheelchair is supplied with plastic rear wheels (24’’) and solid rubber
front tyres (8’’).
The set includes:
•Frame with seat
•Footrests with footplates
•Assembly key
Elements of the wheelchair:
a. Hand grip
b. Armrest
c. Locking pin
d. Wheel lock
e. Handrim
f. Footrest
g. Assembly pin of the footrest
h. Adjustment of the centre of gravity
2. Application
The wheelchair is designed for people who have problems with
unassisted moving and for patients with dysfunctions and reduced

2
mobility. This self propelled wheelchair can also be pushed by the
accompanying person. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
3. Assembly
Step 1. Unfolding the wheelchair
Place the wheelchair on the ground. Grab the hand grips which are at
the back of the backrest and unfold the wheelchair. Then, press the
front and rear edge of the seat so that all the elements fit together.
Note! Do not pull the armrests and transverse stabilization strongly.
Step 2. Assembly of footrests
Assemble the right and the left footrest in the front part of the frame
by placing them on two pins and turn them inwards until they are
locked. Fix protective straps.
Step 3. Assembly and adjustment of footplates
To set the height of the footrest, unscrew the wing screw and tighten
locking pin. Extend or shorten the length of the footrest by pulling its
bottom part until the locking pin clicks. After setting appropriate
height, tighten the wing screw. Proper space should be left between
the footplates and the ground as footplates set too low may cause
difficulties in overcoming such obstructions as curb. Adjust the
footplates so that the angle between trunk and thighs is 900 (optimum
sitting position is provided to the user, then).
On completion of the above activities, the wheelchair is ready to use.
FOLDING
•Fold the right and left footplate by grabbing its bottom part and
pull it upwards. Next, grab and pull the locking lever, turning
simultaneously the footrest outwards, and remove the footrest
from the mounting opening.

•Pull the seat upwards by holding the front and the back edge in
the middle, so that the frame jumps out from the connecting
elements.
DISMANTLING FUNCTION OF ARMRESTS
•To dismantle the armrest, press the locking pin located at the
front part of the armrest and remove the whole armrest from the
mounting openings.
•To re-assemble the armrest, put the back part of the armrest into
the mounting opening and close the armrest until the locking pin
clicks.
WHEEL LOCKS
The wheelchair was equipped with wheel locks to block the wheels.
•To lock the wheels, push the wheel lock lever forwards until the
wheel is fully blocked (separately for left and right wheel). Please,
note that the wheel lock only serves to lock the wheel when the
wheelchair is at a complete stop.
WHEEL LOCKS ADJUSTMENT
The correct lock of the wheel lock depends on its adjustment and
position. The handle of the wheel lock should be positioned so that the
wheel lock shoe blocks the wheel firmly and the lever does not face
excessive resistance.
•In case of excessive resistance, pull the handle forwards slightly by
twisting off the locking screw which is located on the other side of
the wheel lock (from the inside of the wheelchair). Set the wheel
lock shoe in such position that the wheel lock blocks the wheel
easily without resistance.
•When the wheel lock shoe does not touch or lock the wheel
sufficiently, follow the above instruction by moving the handle in
the opposite direction.

ADJUSTMENT FOR PATIENT AFTER AMPUTATION IN THE LOWER
LIMBS AREA
Note! For professional adjustment, ask your retailer or other person
who has appropriate knowledge and qualifications. Do not adjust
inclination angle of the seat by yourself.
•To adjust the centre of gravity, unscrew fixing screw in right and
left wheel. Then, set the seat inclination by moving fixing axis of
the wheel upwards or downwards, the same in both wheels.
•The seat inclination should be set in such a way so that the user
does not slide down from the wheelchair and can freely use
handrims.
