4.0 Handling
Folding (Fig. 4.0)
First remove the seat cushion and the back shell (only Sedeo
version) from the wheelchair and flip up the (platform) footplate or
the individual footplates.
Take hold of the sling from underneath in the middle and pull
upwards, until the folding bracket clicks into place, (Fig. 4.0 - 4.1).
To fold your wheelchair until it is as small as possible, e.g., to put
into a car, you can remove the footrests (depending on the
model). For this purpose, open the latch from the outside and
swing the footrest to the side, (Fig. 4.2 - 4.3). Then the footrest
only has to be drawn out of the frame tubing.
Transportability (Fig. 4.1).
To move the mobility aid, the folded wheelchair should be lifted by
holding the front part of the cross-brace and the push handles.
Unfolding
Push the release lever of the folding bracket (Fig. 4.4) downwards
and push both frame halves apart. Then press on the seat tube
(Fig. 4.5). Your wheelchair is then unfolded. Now snap the seat
tubing into position in the seat saddle. This can be facilitated by
slightly tipping your wheelchair to the side, as this means that the
weight is taken off one of the rear wheels. Be careful not to get
your fingers caught in the cross-tube assembly. Fit the seat
cushion.
Fit the seat cushion and the back shell (Sedeo version only).
CAUTION!
Make sure that the back shell is clicked in place correctly.
WARNING!
Risk of finger entrapment.
Getting into your wheelchair on your own
• Push the wheelchair to a wall or a solid piece of furniture
• Apply the brakes
• The user can lower themselves into the wheelchair
• Then position the feet in front of the heel straps (Fig. 4.6).
Getting out of your wheelchair on your own
• Apply the brakes
• With one hand on the wheel or sideguard, the person should
lean forwards slightly, to transfer the body weight to the front
edge of the seat and then push up to an upright position with
both feet firmly on the floor and one foot behind the other
(Fig. 4.7).

5.0 Transporting the Wheelchair
Quick-Release Axles for Rear Wheels (Fig. 5.0)
When transporting the unoccupied wheelchair in a vehicle, it
should be tied down or strapped in.
The rear wheels are equipped with quick-release axles. The
wheels can thus be installed or removed with out using tools. To
remove a wheel, simply depress the quick-release button on
the axle (1) and pull it out.
CAUTION!
Hold the quick-release button on the axle depressed when
inserting the axle into the frame to mount the rear wheels.
Release the button to lock the wheel in place. The quick-
release button should snap back to its original position.
