Usage & Care

Propulsion: For self-propulsion, grip the rear wheel handrims and push forward or backward to move. Use the brakes to slow and stop. Engage the parking brakes before standing or transferring.

Attendant Use: An attendant can push the wheelchair using the rear push handles. Ensure the user is properly seated and secured before moving.

Footrests: Swing or remove footrests before transferring in or out of the chair. Reposition after seating is complete.

Folding: Lift the seat upward or fold the frame using the manufacturer's folding mechanism. Ensure the chair is fully locked open before use.

Cleaning: Wipe the frame, seat, and wheels with a damp cloth and mild cleanser. Inspect the seat upholstery regularly for wear.

Inspection: Check tyre pressure (if applicable), brake function, and all frame connections regularly. Contact a qualified technician for repairs.
