3. Assembly and adjustment
UNFOLDING AND ASSEMBLY
Step 1. Unfolding the wheelchair.
Place the wheelchair on the ground. Unfold the wheelchair’s
backrest using the hand grips which are at the back of the backrest.
Then press the side edges together so that all parts of the cart fit
together.
Step 2. Adjustment of footplates.
Adjust the right and the left footplate by tightening the adjustment
screw at the appropriate height. 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 3. Assembly of protective strap.
Put the protective strap on the footrest as it prevents user’s legs
from sliding down under the wheelchair from footplates.
Note! Do not use the wheelchair without protective strap.
Step 4. 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.

3
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.
Step 6. Assembly of cushion.
Fix the cushion to the seat with Velcro.
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.
•Swing away the footplates and set them in vertical position
(perpendicularly to the ground).
•Grab the cushion and detach from Velcro.
•To fold the frame, 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.
•If necessary, lift the anti-tip wheels to the maximum height.
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.
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.

4
•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.
•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.
ATTENDANT BRAKES
The levers of the brakes are located behind the backrest, under the
hand grips on the right and left side, and are connected with wheel
lock by cable.
•In order to apply emergency breaking or stopping lock, squeeze
the lever of the brake and in order to release the brake, drop
the levers. Perform this activity smoothly and with appropriate
force.
Note! These brakes should not be used to slow down the wheelchair.
If they are often used for this purpose, they may cause tyre abrasion
which will not be covered by guarantee terms.
FOLDING BACKREST
•To fold the backrest, simultaneously pull downwards the locking
elements which are located under the hand grips at the back of
the backrest.
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 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.
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 adjustable with a buckle and fastened
with Velcro.
