User Manual| Excel G-Nexx
4. User instructions
It is very important that you teach yourself the correct user instructions. Therefore, you need to know all the
components of the wheelchair as described in this user manual. Always check with an expert about developing safe
methods regarding your physical abilities to use your wheelchair.
4.1 Balance
Daily operations such as getting in and out of the wheelchair, reaching and bending in the wheelchair will cause
change to the weight distribution and the centre of gravity of you and your wheelchair. You will need to perform
these movements and techniques as shown below.
4.1.1 Getting in and out of the wheelchair
Getting in and out of the wheelchair is a common operation. The diculties of getting in and out depend on your
physical capabilities. In this user manual, we describe the actions that must be followed when you want to get in or
out of the wheelchair without help. When you can no longer do this independently, we recommend that you make
an appointment with an occupational therapist to discuss your options and to determine how you can best get in
and out of the wheelchair.
Getting in the wheelchair
Before you get in your wheelchair, you must make sure the wheelchair is on a at surface, the wheelchair must have
the brakes applied and the leg rests need to be ipped sideways. Make sure you are as close as possible to the
wheelchair and the castors are in the forward direction. Now you can, leaning on the armrests, make the transfer
to the wheelchair.
Getting out of the wheelchair
When you want to get out of the wheelchair, you must follow the same instructions for getting in to the wheelchair.
Make sure you are as close as possible to the wheelchair and put the castors in forward direction. Also, the brakes
must be applied and the leg rests need to be ipped sideways. Now you can, again, leaning on the armrests, make
the transfer out of the wheelchair.
4.2 Bending and/or reaching
The situation may occur that you are in your wheelchair, and want to get something next to you, in front of you or
even behind you. To prevent the wheelchair from tipping, below are the steps to reach and/or bend safety.
4.2.1 Bending and/or reaching forward
If you want to get something that is in front of your wheelchair, please follow the steps below.
• Make sure that you are as close as possible to the object;
• Make sure the front wheels are facing forward. If not, go forwards and then backwards to turn the wheels fully
to the front;
• Make sure the wheelchair brakes are applied on both sides;
• You can now move towards the target, with caution to keep the wheelchair from falling.

User Manual| Excel G-Nexx User Manual | Excel G-Nexx
4.2.2 Bending and/or reaching to the side
If you want to get something that is next to you or your wheelchair, please follow the steps below.
• Make sure you are as close as possible to the object with your wheelchair. Use the rear wheels of the
wheelchair as a target;
• Make sure the front wheels are turned forward. If not, go forwards and then backwards to turn the wheels
fully to the front;
• Make sure the wheelchair is put on the brakes on both sides;
• You can now move to the side without the risk of losing balance. Make sure you move along the wheelchair as
close as possible while lifting the item.
4.2.3 Bending and/or reaching backwards
If you want to get something that is behind you or your wheelchair, please follow the steps below.
• Make sure you are as close as possible to the object with your wheelchair. Make use of your rear wheels. For
example, place it against a closet;
• Do not put apply the brakes. If you lose your balance you are better o rolling backwards than tipping over;
• You can now bend backwards without the risk of losing balance. But do not bend backwards too far. Then the
wheelchair can tip over.
4.3 Going up and down kerbs and thresholds
It may happen that you have to go up or down a kerb or threshold with your wheelchair. In addition, we describe in
this user manual rst how to do this independently and then how you can do this with an attendant.
4.3.1 Going up a kerb or threshold
If you want to go up a kerb or threshold you have to do it in a forward motion. Make sure your weight is, as far as
it is possible, is brought forward by bending over. By now making a so-called “wheelie”, the castors are lifted at the
front. This way you can get over a kerb or threshold in your wheelchair.
You can also go up a kerb or threshold with your attendant. This can be done in two ways.
1. Your attendant should place the wheelchair in a forward motion for going up a kerb or threshold. By pressing
down on the handles, the castors at the front wheel will come o the ground. Simultaneously, your attendant
should put his foot on the so-called stepper. This will create a leverage eect so the wheelchair can be pushed
up a kerb or threshold.
2. Your attendant should reverse the wheelchair when going up a kerb or threshold. By sitting as far back as
possible in the wheelchair and slightly tilting the wheelchair backwards, your attendant can pull the chair
up a kerb or threshold. Your attendant should not lower the wheelchair until the castors are on the kerb
or threshold.
Warning
You should only go up a kerb or threshold after you have discussed with a specialist, such as an occupational
therapist, how to do this best.

User Manual| Excel G-Nexx
4.3.2 Going down a kerb or threshold
If you want to go down a kerb or threshold yourself, you should always do this backwards. When you do this
forward, there is a risk of falling out of your wheelchair. However, you should practice with an occupational therapist
before you go down a kerb or threshold with your wheelchair yourself.
We advise you to go down a kerb or threshold with your attendant. Your attendant should push your wheelchair
to the edge of the kerb or threshold. Now the user has to sit back and the attendant has to tilt the wheelchair
backwards. When the wheelchair is balanced your attendant can slowly push the wheelchair down a kerb or
threshold. The wheelchair should only be pushed further if the castors touch the ground again.
4.4 Going up and down inclines
Most people can climb a short and not too steep incline itself. This depends on your physical capabilities and the
degree of the incline. Most people also develop methods themselves to go up and down an incline. If it is necessary
you should stop during going up or down the incline, do not make sudden movements that can cause you to
fall out.
4.4.1 Going up an incline
When you go up an incline yourself, we advise you to bend your upper body forwards. This allows you to transfer
the heaviest point forward which is the best position to perform this task. We also recommend you to attach the
anti-tip to the wheelchair when going up an incline. This will increase the safety during going up an incline. It is
also important you don’t carry extra weight such as bags on your wheelchair. This changes the centre of gravity to
behind the wheelchair and with that, the chance of tipping increases.
If your attendant pushes you up, he or she must be aware that sucient strength is required.
4.4.2 Going down an incline
Make sure that the footrests of the wheelchair are at least seven centimetres away from the ground. You should
always be facing forward. However, never lean forward when you go down an incline. This may result in a forward
tilt of the wheelchair. In order to increase the stability it is better to slightly lean backwards.
To maintain control over your wheelchair, it is important you do not go down too quickly. You can control the
speed by the amount of grip that you apply to the hand rims. That will cause the hoops to slide through your hands
Tip
Make sure the incline is inspected before attempting to climb up or down.. That way you will know what to expect
and you can safely go up or down.
Warning
Always be careful whilst maneuvering an incline. An incline steeper than 5° is already dangerous to go up or
down with your wheelchair.

and will also cause friction. To avoid a friction burn on your hands, we recommend wearing gloves. Do not use
the wheel brakes whilst going down the incline. These brakes are only suitable for use when stationary. It is also
advisable to avoid suddenly changing the direction when negotiating an incline. This increases your chance of
falling over. If your attendant supports you when going down an incline, he or she must be aware that considerable
traction should be exercised.
4.5 Going up and down stairs
Stairs are one of the largest obstacles for people who use a wheelchair. However, it is possible, together with two
attendants; to go up and down a ight of stairs with your wheelchair. You and your attendants must be aware of the
rather heavy weight which has to be moved.
4.5.1 Going up a ight of stairs
When you want to go up a ight of stairs, you need to go up backwards. We advise that if you want to climb the
stairs with a wheelchair you should do this with the help of a minimum of two attendants. With one attendant at the
front of the wheelchair, and one at the back. The attendant at the back of the wheelchair holds the push handles
and lets the wheelchair tip backwards until it is balanced. When the chair is balanced the attendant at the front
of the wheelchair needs to grab the side frames. You are now in position to climb the stairs. The attendant at the
front pushes the side frames up until they are above the rst step and the attendant at the back takes the rst
step on the stairs. Repeat this technique until the last step of the stair. You can let the front castors down when the
attendant at the front has taken the last step.
4.5.2 Going down a ight of stairs
To go down a stairs you basically follow the same operations as going up the stairs. One attendant at the front of
the wheelchair and, one attendant at the back of wheelchair. The attendant at the back of the wheelchair grabs the
push handles and lets the wheelchair tip backwards until it is in balance. When the chair is in balance the attendant
at the front needs to grab the side frames. You are now in position to descend the stairs.
Now, the attendant at the front lifts the side frames until they are above the rst step and the attendant at the back
makes the rst step on the stairs. Repeat this technique until the last step of the stair. You can let the front castors
down when the attendant at the front has taken the last step.
Warning
If you go up a stairway with your wheelchair, you should take a maximum of one step at a time. This prevents the
risk of falling down the stairs in your wheelchair.
Warning
Please be aware; the footrests are not built for lifting, carrying the wheelchair with, they are removable and an
accident will occur.

6. Components of the Excel G-Nexx
In this chapter the dierent components of the Excel G-Nexx are described. On the wheelchair are a number
of components present which are adjustable. If you want to add or remove any of its components, make any
adjustments of replace components, you should always follow the instructions described in this user manual.
6.1 The push handles
The push handles of the Excel G-Nexx are covered with an extra soft, ergonomical layer (photo 1). This provides
your attendant with a good grip on the handles. This makes pushing the wheelchair more comfortable and safer.
Under the handle you will nd the brake handle, controlling a drum brake. The handle below the push handle is for
adjusting the height of the push handle (photo 2). Attached to the push handle is the brake handle. By squeezing
the big handle, the parking brake engages. When you then squeeze the smaller handle attached to it, the brake
disengages. By squeezing both simultaneously, you can brake while pushing the wheelchair, e.g. when you need to
reduce speed. On the side of the push handle is a small handle for controlling the tilt-in-space function of
the wheelchair.
6.2 The armrests
The armrests of the Excel G-Nexx can be adjusted in height. To do this, follow the steps below:
• On photo 3 you see the armrest of the Excel G-Nexx wheelchair;
• To set the armrest higher or lower, loosen the black starknob (photo 4);
• You can now slide the armrest up or down;
• When the desired height is achieved, tighten the black starknob to lock the armrest into place.
