OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TO SET UP A WHEELCHAIR
Open the wheelchair by tilting to one side and pushing down on the seat rail until opened.
Attach footrests by aligning holes on tabs at top of Footrests with hinge pins on the outside of the front frame, then swing Footrests to the front until Footrest Release Levers lock into place.
Adjust footrest length (while the user is seated) by loosening the cam lever just above the footplate, pushing the adjustment button, and sliding the inner tubing up or down to the desired setting until the adjustment button protrudes fully from the adjustment hole. Then snap the cam lever back into place.
Make sure the footplate is at least 2.5” from the ﬂoor for proper clearance.

TO FOLD WHEELCHAIR FOR STORAGE
Make sure the footrests are in the forward locked position with the footplates in the vertical position or REMOVE the footrests by pulling the release levers, swinging the footrests outward, and lifting them from the hinge pins.
Standing behind the chair, grab the center of the seat and pull up until closing.

MAINTENANCE

Clean frame with a damp cloth and dust weekly.
Clean upholstery and armrests with mild soap and water.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring 0pads.
If exposed to liquid, dry the wheelchair thoroughly as soon as possible.
If any component appears worn or is not working properly, contact an authorized dealer for repair and/or appropriate replacement parts.
Solid rubber tires need minimal maintenance but should be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth.
If tires become severely worn or cracking appears, contact an authorized dealer.
Wheels and casters should be checked periodically and adjusted and lubricated as needed by an authorized dealer.

WARNINGS

Do not attempt to adjust or operate a wheelchair without reading carefully all instructions in this manual.
Do not use as an occupant restraint in a motor vehicle. The user must always transfer to the vehicle seat.
Do not operate on streets, roadways, grass, slippery surfaces, stairs, or escalators.
Wheel locks are not brakes and are not to be used when a wheelchair is moving. Wheel locks are only intended to keep the wheelchair in place when it is at a complete stop.
Always engage wheel locks before transferring and when using a wheelchair lift or elevator.
Do not attempt inclines or declines greater than a 10% grade.
Do not stand or step on the footplates while transferring to or from your wheelchair. This could cause the wheelchair to tip or may cause personal injury or damage to your wheelchair.
To reduce the risk of tipping: Before leaning or reaching forward, sit back in the seat and make sure casters are rotated fully toward the front of the wheelchair. Do not lean over the top of the wheelchair back. Do not tie down or attach anything to the wheels. Do not stand on Footplates.
Unauthorized modiﬁcation or the use of unauthorized replacement parts could change the structure of the wheelchair, void the warranty, and create a hazardous condition resulting in serious personal injury.
