Unfolding the complete wheelchair

1. Take hold of one or both of the push handles and pull the

backrest into the upright position. Make sure that it is locked

in this position by sliding the levers down fully. Ensure both

push handles are locked in position.

2. Turn the fingers towards the MIDDLE of the seat and push

down on the side of the seat with the flat of the hand until the

chair is completely open.

Never put your fingers round the sides of the seat because

they can get trapped between the seat and the frame.

The wheelchair is fully open when the seat is taut and flat.

Folding the wheelchair for storage

1. Turn the heel loops, if fitted, to the front of the footplate and

then flip up the footplates.

2. Grasp the middle of the seat fabric at both front and rear and

give a sharp pull upwards. This will partially close the chair.

3. Push both sides together to fold the chair completely. Ensure

that the seat is not trapped in the frame when fully folded.

4. If required, fold the backrest down by pulling up the levers

and lowering the push handles as shown on the previous

page.

4.4 Cushion

If your wheelchair is supplied with a cushion this may be held in position by Velcro strips

underneath the cushion, which attaches to corresponding Velcro strips on the topside of the seat.

The cushion should be replaced after unfolding the wheelchair and removed before folding the

wheelchair.

Ensure the cushion is located in the centre of the seat.

Using a cushion raises the seated position and may reduce the stability of your

wheelchair.

Some wheelchairs may be fitted with options or accessories. These are described in the Section

headed Options & Accessories.

Some options and accessories may also affect stability. Your healthcare professional

can provide guidance on the stability of your wheelchairs and should be consulted when

cushions and accessories are being used.
