Thank you for choosing a wheelchair from Etac. The manual must be read thoroughly to avoid damage when handling and using the product. In this manual, the User is the person sitting in the chair. The Carer is the person helping the user. Information on how people with impaired vision can access the manual can be found in our presales guide at www.etac.com.
This symbol appears in the manual together with text. It highlights actions where the wheelchair’s, the user's or the care giver’s safety can be put at risk.

Prio must be fitted by qualified personnel so that the user has a cor­rectly equipped wheelchair in terms of size, settings and accessories. Prio must be adjusted in the event of changes to the user's needs.
Prio must not be used by people whose body size or weight does not correspond with the size and weight restrictions applicable to the chair.

When the chair is delivered the battery is base charged. The battery must be charged fully before the product is used for the first time, but not later than 12 months after delivery. After this, conservation charging is required at least once every 12 months.
Charging should be done in a dry environment. Ensure that the char­ging socket is completely dry before charging.
Insert the charging socket and connect the charger to a wall socket.
The voltage indicator (A) is illuminated, showing that the charger is connected.
The two indicators showing that the battery is charging (B) flash. When the lights go out, the battery is fully charged.

7. Settings
Seat height
Seat height adjustable using:
- The rear wheel position in the gable and the castor position in the fork.
- Change of rear wheel size
The chassis undercarriage must always be horizontal. When changing the seat height, the front seat height must also be adjusted. See Section "Height adjustment, front".
Bear in mind the risk of tipping. Always check the positioning of the anti-tips.
Seat height adjustment using the rear wheel position
1. Loosen the nut.
2. Open the kit with the washers and install at the required position (see table in Section ”Seat height table”). An adaptor sleeve should be used with 16" wheels in positions A2 and B2.
3. Adjust the castors/castor fork so that the chassis undercarriage is horizontal (see section ”Height adjustment, front”).
4. Adjust the user brake, see section ”Brake, adjustment”.
Bear in mind the risk of tipping. Always check the positioning of the anti-tips.
In certain rear wheel positions, there is a crushing hazard between the arm support and rear wheel (if the arm support is set at low height).

7. Settings
During installation, make sure that the hubs end up in the same position on the right and left side.
During installation, check that the rear wheel is securely mounted. The button in the hub should pop out to the original position.
See also section ”Seat height table”.
Bear in mind the risk of tipping. Always check the positioning of the anti-tips.
Seat height adjustment using the rear wheel position
The chassis undercarriage must always be horizontal. When adjusting the seat height, it is therefore also necessary to adjust the castor wheel position in the fork or change the castor/fork (see Section ”Seat height table).
Bear in mind the risk of tipping. Always check the positioning of the anti-tips.

1. Remove the nut cover and disassemble/assemble the front fork with
the castor wheel in accordance with the illustration.
NB! It is important to ensure that the ball bearings and washers in the attachment (under the retaining nut) are placed in the right order with the spring washer on top.
During installation, tighten the retaining nut until it comes to a stop and then release by ½ – 1 turn. The spring washer then has the correct tension and reduces the risk of the castor starting to "wobble".
Bear in mind the risk of tipping. Always check the positioning of the anti-tips.
19 mm
Disassembly/assembly of the front fork
With a 6.5" castor wheel, the front fork mounting must be height­adjusted in certain rear wheel positions. Loosen the screw that holds the front fork mounting and adjust the height so that the lower tube of the chassis is parallel to the floor.
Tighten the screw again.
Bear in mind the risk of tipping. Always check the positioning of the anti-tips.
Height adjustment, front, by replacing the front fork/castor wheel
See section “Height adjustment, front, using the castor wheel position in the front” and ”Seat height table”.
Bear in mind the risk of tipping. Always check the positioning of the anti-tips.
