Folding
Step 3 – Adjusting the footplates
First loosen the locknut with the spanner. Pull down the slide tube and adjust the footplate to a proper position, then lock and fix the bolts with the spanner in a clockwise direction. (figure 3 ).

Step 4 – Using the brakes
Hold the brake handles with both hands while the Coyote wheelchair is stopped. Push the brake handles forward to their self-locking position to prevent rear wheels from moving. (figure 4 ).

Step 5 – Adjusting the armrests
To adjust the height of the armrest, press the button on the outside of the armrest and move the armrest to the desired position. Once in place, release the button. (Figure 5 ).

Step 6 – Using the legrests
When assembling the legrest, you should first line up the positioning holes with the fixed pins. Hang the legrest and then swing the legrest inward. When detaching the legrest, first swing the legrest outward. Lift it to remove it from the fixed pins. (Figure 6 ).

Adjusting the axle
To adjust the axle, first remove the quick-release rear wheels. To adjust the axle, use a wrench to unscrew the axle nut. Once removed, you can change the height of the axle plate. You can also turn the axle plate to move the center of gravity. Both axle plates must have the exact same position before use.

Safety

Stability
The Coyote is designed to be safe and stable as long as center of gravity is maintained while going about normal activities. Care mustbe taken while performing activities that shift your center of gravity in the chair. Never reach so far that you need to shift in the seat or bend over out of the chair. When your eaching for objects that require you to lean, be certain front casters are pointed in a forward position that extends the wheel base and stabilizes the chair.

Ramps
Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and strength before attempting to go up a ramp. Correct techniques on ramp navigation should be shown to you by a qualified professional. If you must stop on an incline, avoid sudden, abrupt movement when you resume movement. Backward angling of the chair or sudden abrupt movement could cause instability. Attempting to use the wheel lock brakes could result in accidental locking, tipping to one side, sudden stopping. Avoid changing direction when going down an incline, as this could result in instability or tipping over. Never use your Coyote wheelchair on an incline steeper than 4.8°.

Care of the Wheelchair
Always ensure that your Coyote wheelchair is dry after use to prevent corrosion. It should be regularly washed using warm water and a mild detergent. Dry after washing. Between uses the Coyote can be folded for storage.
