Operating Instructions
Folding the Chair
The CH1044 Transport chair can be folded for storage and transportation with
just a few easy steps.
1. Flip the footplates (1) to the vertical position.
2. Remove the red combination seat / back cushion (2).
3. Grasp the front center and rear center of seat (3) upholstery and lift to pull
side frames together.
4. Depress the back folding levers (4) and fold the back rest backwards.
Open (Unfold) the Chair
1. Standing beside the folded chair grasp the closest push handle
and tip the chair onto the wheels closest to you lifting the opposite
side's wheels slightly off the ground.
2. Using the palm of the hand not holding the push handle to push
down on the seat rail closest to you until the chair is fully open.
(To avoid injury DO NOT wrap your hand around the seat rail when
pushing down. Pinching can occur.)
Seat/Back Cushion
The seat/back cushion (red) is all one piece
and attached to the chair velcro strips.
Back Rest
1. To fold down back rest, remove back/seat
cushion (2), depress the two release levers (1)
mounted on the back posts and fold handles
down and backwards.
2. To restore backrest, lift and fold forward until
release levers lock and replace back/seat
cushion.

Wheel Locks
Adjusting the Wheel Locks
The wheel locks may require adjustment
from time to time. This is normal for any
device using wire cables.
To adjust the wheel locks, loosen the wheel
lock nut (1) and turn the cable adjustment
Screw (2) clockwise to loosen the brakes
and counter-clockwise to tighten them.
Once adjusted, re-tighten the lock nut being
careful not to allow the adjustment screw
to turn.
When adjusted properly, the brake bar (3) should embed into the
tire deep enough to prevent the wheel from turning
when wheel locks are applied.
Using the Wheel Locks
The wheel locks are for holding the chair
parked, not for slowing the chair down on
ramps or other inclines.
To apply the wheel locks, squeeze the
wheel lock levers (1) mounted on the push
handles. They will lock in the “on” position.
(If they do not lock they may need repair
or adjustment)
To disengage the wheel locks, squeeze the levers and and release
them by squeezing the release lever (2) with one finger while
releasing the wheel lock lever.
Foot Rests
The foot rests are fixed onto the chair frame
and have adjustable flip up foot plates (1). The
calf strap (2) wraps around the foot rest down
tubes (3) and attach to themselves to keep the
user's feet from slipping off the back of the foot
plate.
To flip up the foot plates, simple grasp the
inside edges (4) and fold up vertical.
(The foot plates should always be in the vertical position when
the user is entering or leaving the chair)

Foot Plate Adjustment
The foot plate height can be adjusted for the
comfort of the user.
1. Loosen the foot plate adjustment
bolt (1) on bottom of the foot plate
tube (2).
2. Slide the foot plate (3) up or down to the
desired height and re-tighten the
adjustment bolt.
The foot plate height is correct when the weight of the lower legs
is carried through the feet onto the footplates without causing the
user's knees to be elevated off the seat.
Please note that foot plate adjustment height is often a compromise.
1. For those with long legs, the foot plates may be too close to the
ground. Depending on the terrain, the foot plates should be about
two inches from the ground.
A cushion can be used to raise the user an inch or two to elevate
the user and provide more clearance under the foot plates.
2. For those with short legs, the foot plates may not be high enough
at their highest position to support the feet.
The best solution for those with short legs is to wear shoes with
thicker soles. If this is still not sufficient, please contact your
retailer for advice.
Wheels and Casters
The wheels and casters have maintenance free solid tires installed
that will not become flat if they are cut or punctured by debris on the
ground.
The chair is fitted with 8” diameter casters and 12” diameter rear
wheels to make travel over rough terrain and small obstacles easier.
On very rough or soft terrain it will be easier, and safer, for the care
giver to pull the chair backwards until smoother or harder terrain is
reached.
Arm Rests
The arm rests are fixed to the chair frame and provide pockets in the
side panels to carry small items.
