Usage
Unfolding the Wheelchair
Hold the handles with both hands to separate the frame slightly. Push down both sides of the seat upholstery to flatten lightly by hand, so that the wheelchair has been unfolded. (Figure 1)
Folding
First, turn over both the footplates, lift up both sides of the seat upholstery lightly with your hands, and then it can be folded. (Figure 2)
Method of self-propelling the wheelchair
The user sits on the wheelchair stably and then holds the hand rims of the rear wheels with both hands. At the same time propel the wheelchair by a balanced force with both hands to make it move forward then release the hands. When the wheelchair slows down and needs to be operated once again after traveling for some distance, repeat these steps as mentioned above.
Use of the brakes
With the wheelchair has stopped the user holds the brake handles with both
hands and then moves the brake handles forward to the self-locking position.
This will cause the rear wheels to stop completely and keep still. The process
for braking is completed. (Figure 7)
Operation method of crossing the obstacles
In case of coming across obstacles, the attendant should firmly hold the handles with both hands, lean back the wheelchair to lift the front castor if necessary, then cross the obstacles. (Figure 8)
The operation method of the flip back armrest (fixed armrest is excluded)
When detaching the armrest, first press the armrest fastener with one hand to
separate it from the
front bracket of the seat tube and then you can flip it back. When flipping
down line up the armrest with the seat tube and press lightly to lock it in
place. Note it is self-locking. (Figure 9)
Operation method of detachable leg rest (fixed legrest is excluded)
When assembling the legrest, you should first aim the top and bottom positioning holes at the top and bottom fixed pins, hang the legrest in place, and then swing the legrest to the spring from outside to inside to reach a state of self-locking. When detaching the legrest, you should first turn the legrest outside into a certain angle then lift it out of the fixed pins, and remove the legrest completely. (Figure 10)
Maintenance
- Wheelchairs must be examined to see whether all parts and bolts are still fixed well after a period of usage. If they are loose qualified maintenance personnel should adjust them immediately.
- Lubricant should be added on the moving parts of the wheelchair, which makes it more flexible and easy to operate.
- Soft and dry cloth shall be used to clean water and pollutants from the surface of the wheelchair after usage to avoid any corrosion.

In case of coming across obstacles, the attendant should hold the handle firmly with both hands and if necessary lean back the wheelchair to lift the front castor and then cross the obstacle.
- Be cautious not to exceed the wheelchair’s weight capacity on flat roads.
- If the wheelchair is patient-propelled please operate smoothly and the speed should not exceed 3-5km/h.
- Brakes are used to stop for stabilization and are not used to hold a moving wheelchair, especially while going up or down a slope, otherwise, there will be a risk of rollover.
- Users must not stand on the footplates in case the wheelchair overturns.
- While using a wheelchair on a slope please don’t tilt the wheelchair or turn it suddenly or brake suddenly when going downhill to avoid the risk of rollover.
