Assembly
Folding
The CareCo Airglide Wheelchair will come fully
assembled with the exception of the legrests.
Simply take the wheelchair out of its packaging
and pull the armrests apart, then push the seat
base down until in the horizontal position.
The legrests then clip into the two fixings part
way down the wheelchair legs and swing in
towards the centre of the chair where they
will click into place. The legrests are height
adjustable to a number of fixed positions. To
adjust the length of the footrest simply push
the silver buttons on the footrest pole and slide
into one of the fixed height adjustment holes.
The CareCo Airglide Wheelchair has been
designed to fold for ease of transportation and
storage. Ensure the footrests are in the forward
!
position and flip the plastic footplates up.
Whilst holding the front and rear of the seat
canvas, pull upwards to fold the chair.
For transportation it is recommended that the
legrests are removed by pushing the chrome
lever on the legrests and swinging away from
the wheelchair. This will unlock the legrest and
allow it to be removed by lifting upwards.
Pull this
lever.

chair as this could result in damage to your Airglide Wheelchair.
