From a stable position, grip the armrests or the chair frame under the sides of the seat and pull the frame away from the center of the chair until the fabric seat is fully unfolded.

Grab the folded down hand grips and put them up until the backrest upholding is full extended and both hand grip bars snap into place locking them at a 90 degree angle.

To fold the chair, Push the two black tabs beneath the hand grips up and in towards the frame to disengage the locking pins. You can then lower the handles down. Next, lift the chair by the seat strap until the seat folds together, or lift by the arm rests and push the two sides together until the seat fold together.

Fit the foot rest over and down onto the two metal placement pins as shown. Then rotate each foot rest forward until the silver clasp locks into place and the foot rest is securely fastened to the chair frame.

To remove the foot rests, pull the wide end of the silver clasp in towards the middle of the chair. You will feel the clasp release its grip on the frame, and the foot rest will swing out where it can be lifted off the two metal placement pins.

CAUTION

Please note that this chair is designed to use for transporting another individual and is not meant for self transportation. This Transport Chair is designed to safely be a stable center of gravity but it is important to try and keep a stable center of gravity of all times while performing activities that may change your center of gravity or a passengers center of gravity. Never reach out so far that is would require you to shift in the seat or bend over out of the chair. When you have to reach for objects that require you to lean, be certain your front wheels are pointing forward as this will stabilize the chair.

Ramps

Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and strength before attempting to push another individual up a ramp. Correct techniques on ramp negotiation should be shown to you by a  qualified professional. If you must stop on an incline, avoid any and all sudden or abrupt movement when you resume movement. Because of backward angle of the chair, sudden abrupt movement could cause instability. Do not attempt to change direction when moving in incline or decline, this could result in tipping.
