4 Getting in and out of the wheelchair

Important information when side transferring in and out of the wheelchair

In order to side transfer it is necessary for the armrest to either be raised or removed completely depending on the model. A skirtguard can be installed as an option in connection with the parallel sliding armrest. This is attached in the same way as the standard armrest and must also be removed when transferring.

4.1Remove the standard armrest in order to side transfer

Removing the armrest:

•Loosen remote cable (1) from remote.

•Loosen clamping lever (2)

•Remove the side panel from the receptacle
