3. Assembly
Step 1. Unfolding the wheelchair
Place the wheelchair on the ground. Unfold the wheelchair using the
hand grips which are at the back of the backrest. Then, press the front
and rear edge of the seat so that all the elements fit together.
Step 2. Assembly of footrests
Assemble the right and the left footrest. Put the assembly element into
the opening in the front part of the frame and turn the footrest
inwards until the footrest lever is locked.
Step 3. Adjustment of footplates
Adjust the right and the left footplate by tightening the screw placed in
the back part of footrests with included key. Adjust the footplates so
that the angle between trunk and thighs is 900 (optimum sitting
position is provided to the user, then).
Step 4. Assembly of protective strap
Put the protective strap on the footrest as it prevents sliding down
user’s legs under the wheelchair from footplates.

Note! Do not use the wheelchair without protective strap.
Step 5. Checking the assembly of wheels
Lift the wheelchair slightly and spin the right wheel and then the left
one by pulling the handrims and check if the wheels spin properly.
On completion of the above activities, the wheelchair is ready to use.
FOLDING
The wheelchair can be re-folded in order to be transported and stored
more easily. Before folding the wheelchair, swing away the footplates
and set them in vertical position (perpendicularly to the ground). Grab
the seat in the middle and lift it upwards until the frame is locked.
FLIP-UP FUNCTION OF ARMRESTS
•To flip-up the armrest, press and hold the locking button (locking
pin) located in the front part of the armrest and swing it away.
•To close the armrest, push it downwards until the locking button
(locking pin) clicks.
PUMPING THE WHEELS
•The wheelchair was equipped with pneumatic rear wheels 22’’ in
diameter and swivel, PU front wheels 8’’ in diameter (tubeless
tyre). Remember to control the air pressure in both wheels and
check the condition of the tyres in search of abrasions, cuts or
surface depletion.
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
wheelchair is at a complete stop.
ATTENDANT BRAKES IN THE MODEL FS 908LJQ
•The levers of the brakes are located behind the backrest, at the
hand grips on the right and left side, and are connected with
wheel lock by cable.

•In order to apply breaking, grab and squeeze the lever of the
brake and in order to release the brake, drop the levers. Perform
this activity smoothly and with appropriate force.
•The brakes are equipped with parking lock. To engage them, grab
the brake lever, squeeze it and pull the locking element (located
at the brake handle).
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 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.
SEAT BELT
•The belt, which is included in the standard equipment, protects
the trunk in cases when the user slides down from the wheelchair
or is not able to keep correct position independently. The belt is
fastened with the use of buckle.
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.

5
•To adjust 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.
