symbolspreparing for use

These instructions should be read carefully before using the wheelchair. This

product does not have a service manual. The following parts should be

adjusted by a healthcare professional to suit each user’s requirements:

1. Rear Wheels

Use the axle bracket to alter the horizontal position of the rear wheels on

the transit models. Remove the screws and nyloc nuts, reposition, then

reattach the fasteners and adjust brakes (see below).

To alter the vertical position of self-propel wheels, push the quick release

pins to remove the wheels and axles (see disassembly and storage), then

move the axle bosses to the desired position for both wheels. Reattach the

wheels securely and readjust the brakes accordingly. Drive DeVilbiss

Healthcare Ltd recommends approved service personnel do this.

2. Upholstery

This wheelchair features a cushioned seat and back, and a tension-

adjustable back canvas. To adjust the tension, remove the cushion and

backrest, then adjust Velcro straps. Ensure straps are not too taut, as this can

damage the wheelchair.

3. Brake Unit

Loosen the bolt heads with a 6mm hex key, sliding the brake unit along

the frame. Readjust the brakes if any rear wheels have been moved. Drive

DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd recommends approved service personnel do this.

4. Footrest Height and Angle, Anti-tip Wheels

See the footrest adjustment and steep terrain, kerbs and steps sections.

A risk assessment must also be performed to assess suitability of the device

for the user. This assessment should include, but not be limited to:

• Small adults (and children)

• Users (and attendants) who lack capacity

• Very active occupants

• Unauthorised access to the wheelchair

Independent users and attendants are responsible for determining that they

are both mentally and physically capable of using the wheelchair with

minimal risk of harm.

Maximum occupant mass – Exceeding the limit marked on your

device can damage the product and put users at risk of harm.

Remove all packaging and stand the wheelchair on the ground. Separate the

arm rests to open the wheelchair, then push down ﬁrmly. Once secure, the

backrest is upright and the footrests are attached (see overleaf), the

wheelchair is ready for use.

footrest adjustment

To ﬁt the footrests, align approximately 45º

outwards, push down ﬁrmly into the frame (1)

then rotate inwards (2) until they lock into place.

Pull the handle / lever and rotate to release.

For optimum comfort it is important to attain

the correct leg position. To change the

footrest height, unscrew the hex bolt on the

tubing with a 4mm hex key. To alter the

footplate angle, loosen the 5mm hex bolt on

the side. Adjust the footrest as required, then

tighten to secure. Attaching the footrest

Common misuse

Do not stand on the footrests. Overloading can damage the

product and cause harm to the occupant.

folding back mechanism

PADDLE

To fold the backrest, push the black paddle

towards the back post with your thumb (1)

whilst pulling the handle down (2) as shown

in the folding the backrest image. Repeat this

operation for the other handle.

To put the backrest back into position, lift

both handles together and the folding

mechanism will lock back automatically.

Do not push down on the handles to raise

the front of the wheelchair, as this could

result in damage to the wheelchair. To mount

kerbs and steps, reconnect the backrest and

use the stepper tube as described in the

steep terrain, kerbs and steps section.

Folding the

backrest

Common misuse

The paddle is intended to be pushed. Do not pull the paddle to

fold the backrest.

transfer and use

Before using the wheelchair, read the safety notices below;

• Do not exceed the 10º maximum gradient. Use slow speeds

and do not reverse down a gradient.

• Do not use on escalators.

• The wheelchair is only suitable for single occupancy.

• Keep your feet on the footrests when moving. Do not stand on

the footrests.

• Ensure that ﬁngers and objects do not get caught in the wheel

spokes or any other moving parts during use and assembly.

• Maintain proper balance at all times. Users should not move

their centre of gravity out of the seating area.

• Do not reach for items further than your arm’s length.

• Parking brakes should always be applied when transferring.

• Be aware of hazards in your environment, such as narrow

doorways, steps, household appliances, children’s toys, etc.

• A risk assessment must be performed by a competent person

to ensure the wheelchair is suitable for the user. We

recommend you consult a healthcare professional before using

any assistive medical devices.

• Keep away from heating and ignition sources which may raise

surface temperatures or cause a ﬁre.

Transfer: When transferring in and out of the seat, move the seats as

close as possible to each other. Attendants should engage parking brakes and

fold away footrests. If users need to be lifted out of a seat, attendants are

responsible for being suitably trained and competent to lift occupants with

minimal risk of harm. Good health and safety practice must always be used.

Propelling: The attendant should push from behind using the handgrips,

and following the safety advice above. Transit models can only be propelled by

an attendant. Self Propel models can also be propelled by wheelchair users,

pushing the handrims on the rear wheels. To slow down, apply pressure to the

handrims.

When stationary, the brakes should always be applied.

steep terrain, kerbs and steps

Steep terrain: These wheelchairs are not designed for use on gradients

beyond 10°. When on a slope, avoid swerving or sudden changes in movement.

Over kerbs: Attendants push down on the stepper tube with a foot to raise

the front castors (when mounting a kerb for example).

The stepper tube at the back of the

wheelchair comes with an integral anti-tip

wheel (shown in Adjusting anti-tip wheel). To

adjust the height of these wheels and

enable the wheelchair to tip backwards, pull

the metal disc (1) and adjust the height of the

wheel (2). Release the disc and slide the

anti-tip wheels to ensure they are locked in

position.

To mount kerbs, lift the anti-tip wheels fully and approach the kerb head-on.

Then the attendant uses the stepper tube to raise the front castors, and

lowers the front castors on the raised kerb. Finally the attendant should push

the wheelchair forward, lifting it up slightly to mount the kerb if required.

To go down, line up the front castors with the edge of the kerb. The attendant

uses the stepper tube to raise the front castors and tip the user slightly back.

Keeping the castors raised, slowly lower the wheelchair down the kerb.

Multiple steps: The wheelchair is not designed to mount staircases, so may

require carrying if no elevators or ramps are available. Attendants are

responsible for being suitably trained and competent to lift the wheelchair with

minimal risk of harm. Do not carry using the handles or any removable sections.

Common misuse

Do not lean or push down on the push handles, as this can

damage the wheelchair.

Common misuse

In most cases, attendants should also raise the front castors when

going down kerbs, to prevent the user from falling or sliding out.

brake operation

Parking Brakes

To apply the parking brakes, push the handle on the brake unit until locked

in place. To release the brake, pull the handle in the opposite direction. The

brakes should always be applied when the wheelchair is stationary.

Cable Brakes

On the transit models, the attendant

pushing the wheelchair may use

cable-operated brakes to slow or park

the wheelchair.

To apply the brakes, squeeze the large

lever (A) on the push handles and the

brakes will be applied until the levers

are released. Ensure both levers are

pulled simultaneously to ensure the

wheelchair travels in a straight line.

using a wheelchair belt

Belts are often used to restrain wheelchair occupants during normal use.

However, belts are not provided as standard with these models. Any belts

used should be adjusted to suit each user. When fastened, they should be

tight without causing discomfort or undue pressure. Belts may not be suitable

for all users. Any belts must ﬁt and be used in line with the manufacturer’s

instructions for use. Seek professional medical advice before using a

wheelchair belt.

The XS wheelchairs also come with calf straps, which can support the user’s

legs while sitting with the footrests out. Make sure to keep them with the

wheelchair. To attach the calf strap, wrap across the front of both footrests,

between the foot pads and the handles. The soft material should be facing

outwards. Secure the Velcro around the back so the calf strap is taut.
