Preparing your wheelchair for use
Armrests
The armrests on both sides of the wheelchair can be removed to allow side transfer. Press the spring loaded catch mounted on the side of the armrest frame down tube (Fig.1) and remove armrest as shown. When seated, lower the armrest until it locks into the retaining bracket. For full details see pages 18 & 19.
WARNING
Keep your fingers and clothing etc clear of the inside of the retaining bracket until the armrest is locked in place.
Control pod
The control pod is mounted on a sliding mechanism, which enables the control to be moved forward or backwards (Fig.
2). When the most comfortable position has been selected, secure the slider by tightening the locking Allen screw, using an Allen key.
WARNING
Ensure the locking screw is fully tightened prior to use and especially when transporting your wheelchair.
The pod can also be swung away at right angles to the armrest to allow the chair to move close to tables.
