Step 4. Adjustment of footrests

placed at the bottom of footrests, and then push out the screw thread
on the other side. 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).
Step 5. Adjustment of anti-tip wheels
In order to adjust anti-tip wheels, which are located at the back of the
wheelchair, pull the lock, move the wheels upwards or downwards,
and select appropriate height.
Step 6. Adjustment of backrest angle
To adjust the backrest angle, dismount rear wheels and place the
wheelchair on anti-tipping wheels. Twist off the screws with the use of
Allen wrench and set desired the angle (85⁰-115⁰) on both sides.
Note! It is forbidden to sit in the wheelchair while backrest angle

•Unfasten extended part of the backrest placed under the seat.
•Lift the transverse stabilization upwards.
•To fold the frame, pull the seat upwards by holding the front and

PUMPING THE WHEELS
•The wheelchair was equipped with pneumatic rear wheels 24’’ in

and check the condition of the tyres in search of abrasions, cuts
or surface depletion.
•To balance the air pressure in the wheels, twist off the cap of the
valve, insert the pump (included in the set) into the valve, and
pump the air.
WHEEL LOCKS
•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 wheels when the

WHEEL LOCKS ADJUSTMENT
The correct lock of the wheel lock depends on its adjustment and

5
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 and 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 PATIENTS AFTER AMPUTATIONS 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 on the front wheels, 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.
•To adjust the centre of gravity on the rear wheels, dismount the
wheel. Then, unscrew fixing screw in right and left wheel and set
the seat inclination on the same height in both wheels.
