1. INTRODUCTION
Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL
are comfort wheelchairs meant for
both indoor and outdoor use. They
are tested to DIN EN 12183:2014.
The tests were carried out by TÜV
SÜD Product Service GmbH in
Germany.
In Alu Rehab we believe that wheelchairs
should be chosen based on a thorough
assessment focusing on the needs of the
user and demands from the environment.
Therefore, it is important to know about
the possibilities and restrictions of the
wheel-chair. Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED
XL are wheelchairs designed for users
with the need for comfort and relief. The
combination between the seating system
and the ergonomical solutions in the frame
construction, offers many possibilities for
adaptation and adjustments.
The wheelchairs are constructed for indoor
and outdoor use, and offers the possibility to
vary the sitting position from activity to rest
using tilt and recline functions.
Netti 4U CED is available in 3 versions:
Max user weight: 160 kg:
- Netti 4U CED with standard seat depths.
- Netti 4U CED XL with seat widths 550 and
600 mm
Max user weight: 130 kg:
- Netti 4U CEDS with shorter seat depth
When mounting accessories such as
power kit etc, the weight of the accessories
must be subtracted from the max user
weight.
Specifications varies between
countries.

1.1 AREAS OF USE/
INDICATIONS FOR NETTI 4U
CED, CEDS AND CED
Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL are multifunction wheelchairs for partially or fully
immobile youth and grown up persons
with physical and/or mental disabilities.
These disabilities may have multiple
causes. Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL
have an adjustable seat and back angle,
thus facilitating for the user change of
position, mobilisation or posture correction
(stabilisation), wherever the following
functional impediments with their multiple
possible causes are present:
• limited or lacking mobility
• limited or lacking muscle power
• limited movement range
• lacking or limited trunk and body stability
• hemiplegia
• rheumatic-type disorders
• craniocerebral injuries
• amputations
• other neurological or geriatric disorders.
1.2 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL are
not suited for persons with a strongly
enhanced muscular spasticity. In this case
we recommend the Netti Dynamic System,
which offers a frame construction that
follows the movement pattern of the user.
Ignoring this advice could in unfavorable
circumstances lead to the deformation
or fracture of metal parts in the area of
the back tube, the leg support or the arm
support.
1.3 QUALITY AND
DURABILITY
Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL
wheelchairs are tested at TÜV SÜD
Product Service GmbH in Germany,
following the European Standard DIN EN
12183:2014.
As manufacturer, Alu Rehab A.S
evaluates the test to be equal to 5-6
years of normal use of the chair. The
disability of the user as well as the level
of maintenance done foremost decides
the durability of the wheelchair. Thus, the
durability will vary depending on these
two factors.
1.4 THE ENVIRONMENT AND
WASTE DISPOSAL
Alu Rehab and its suppliers wish to
protect the environment.
This means:
• That we avoid using environmentally
harmful substances and processes to
the greatest extent possible.
• That Alu Rehab’s products are ensured
a long service life and a high degree of
flexibility - to benefit the environment
and economy.
• That all packaging can be recycled.
• That the wheelchair was designed to be
separated into its component materials
- to make recycling easier.
Contact your local recycling agent to
get correct information how to handle in
you area.

7. SEAT ANGLE / TILT
AND BACK ANGLE /
RECLINE
7.1 SEAT ANGLE
The seat angle is regulated using the release
handle mounted on the push bar. The seat
unit can be tilted from -5° to +20°.
7.2 BACKREST ANGLE
The backrest angle is regulated using the
release handle mounted on the push bar.
The angle can be regulated from 92° to 137°
backwards.
To ensure correct function of the wires,
these must never be taut.
The seat and back-rest angle must not be
adjusted without using the anti-tips.
The release handles has each on of the
following label:
Tilt Recline
Risk for tipping. Check the position of
anti-tip.
When chair back extension is mounted,
the tipping risk increases. If necessary it
should be improved by moving the main
wheels further back. Always use anti-tippers
when recline and tilt functions are being
activated.
7.3 KEY WORDS REGARDING TILT
AND RECLINE OF STATIC COMFORT WHEELCHAIRS, AND COMMON FEATURES OF DYNAMIC
WHEELCHAIRS
Tilt and recline are the basic benefits of a
comfort wheelchair. It allows for varying
seating positions during the time in the
wheelchair.
We have reviewed the clinical evidences regarding tilt and recline, and found there are
several studies or best practice guidelines
suggesting that the tilt and recline sequence
is important to reduce shear and sliding: First
tilt then recline afterwards. When bringing
the client upright again, the sequence should
be recline first then tilt. It would seem that
the most shear would be induced when going
upright from a recline and tilted position.
7.4 DECREASE THE POSSIBILITY
OF SLIDING, SHEAR AND
PRESSURE SORES:
Only use the tilt angle to achieve variation of the seating position for the user. It is
common knowledge that recline should not
be adjusted after the back angle is accommodated to the user’s best seating position.
The muscle tone of the neck and back should
be as low as possible for the user to prevent
sliding, and a change of the recline angle
from the original position will interrupt and
destroy the correct body position, and cause
an increased muscle tone in the neck.
If the recline function is used during a transfer situation or other situations, it is very
important that the recline angle is adjusted
back to the correct, original position when
the user is back to a normal seating position.
Wrong usage of recline causes an increased
possibility of sliding, and this means an increased danger of shear (vertical and horizontal forces) and pressure sores.

ASSURE THAT THE USER IS SAFE WHEN
THE TILT OR RECLINE FEATURES ARE
GOING TO BE ADJUSTED:
The tilt and recline functions of all Netti
comfort wheelchair models is a «one
hand operation», including the dynamic
wheelchair models. This is a great benefit
for the user. The care giver is able to
establish eye contact with the user when
the tilt or recline function is going to
be used. The care giver is also able to
communicate with the user before the tilt
or recline function is used. The user will feel
more safe when he/she is aware that the tilt
or recline function is going to be used.
7.5 OPERATING TILT HANDLE:
TILTING THE SEATING UNIT
Press the left handle on the push bar and
put pressure to the push bar to tilt the seating unit with one of your hands, while you
have eye contact with the user and put the
other hand on the arm support.
The correct relative angle between the
body parts remain the same when the
seating unit is tilted.
Wherever you let the handle loose, the
seating unit will stay in this position. To
bring the seating unit up, press the handle
and the tilt cylinder will assist you lifting the
seating unit up.
A backward tilted seat unit gives a steeper seating angle in relation to the surface,
and prevent sliding of the wheelchair
user. A forward tilted seat unit brings the
user in a positon where activities - for instance by a table or by standing up from
the wheelchair, are supported.
The tilt handle and the tilt sign is on the
push bar - shown on the previous page.
Risk of sliding forwards - Do not leave
the user in the wheelchair when it is tilted
forward.
7.6 OPERATING RECLINE HANDLE:
RECLINING THE CHAIR BACK
Press the right handle and put pressure to
the push bar to recline the back with one
of your hands, while you have eye contact with the user and put the other hand
on the arm support. Wherever you let
the handle loose, the chair back will stay
fixed and locked.

8. MANOEUVRING
8.1 GENERAL TECHNIQUES
Manoeuvring and chair balance:
The weight and balance of the chair influences the manoeuvring qualities of the wheelchair. The weight, size and sitting position of
the user are influencing factors. The position
of the wheels will in addition influence the
manoeuvring qualities. The more weight
placed over the main wheels, the easier it is
to manoeuvre. If heavy weight is placed over
the front castors, the chair will be heavy to
manoeuvre. See page 16 - seat depth adjustment - for balancing the chair.
Step approach:
Always approach the step in slow motion
preventing the front castors to hit the step
with force. The user could fall out of the chair
by the impact. The front castors could be
damaged.
Driving down steps / sidewalks
Be cautious that you do not drive down steps
higher than 30 mm. The leg supports may hit
the ground first. Thereby you may lose steering control and the leg supports may brake.
Driving on soft, rough or slippery
ground can make safe manoeuvring more
difficult as the wheels may loose traction
and it is difficult to control the wheelchair.
Parking:
Increase the footprint and the support of the
wheelchair by moving the chair about 100
mm rearwards making the front castors turn
forward.
EMERGENCY ESCAPE ROUTES: Netti 4U
CED with seat width 550 mm and more, has
an overall width exceeding 700 mm and may
have difficulties passing emergency escape
routes.
Companion:
If the user is left alone in the wheelchair,
always lock the brakes and check that the
anti-tips are turned down.

Using a lift:
Before transfer to chair:
• Tilt the chair back
• Remove the head support
• Remove the leg supports
• Open the back rest angle slightly
• Replace the components when transfer is
finished.
Never stand on the foot plates due to
the risk of tipping the chair forwards.
8.8 LIFTING THE WHEELCHAIR
• The wheelchair should be lifted in the
frame, and crossbar only.
• Lifting points are marked with this sign:
Never lift the wheelchair by the
leg supports, arm supports or
push bow.
Do not lift the wheelchair
with a user in it.
8.9 PUSH RIM
Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL are delivered with aluminium push rims as standard.
The material and distance to the main wheel
influences the ability of the user to grip.
Contact your dealer to get information about
alternative push rims that fit your chair.
Alternative push rims may give a better grip,
but the friction may increase. When using
the hands to stop the chair, the risk for burning of the hands increases.
A squeezing and trapping hazard of the
fingers may occur when passing through
narrow passages and if the fingers come
between the spokes. To avoid this risk, we
recommend spoke protectors as accessory.
If you want/need to change push rims or
increase/decrease the distance between
the push rims and the wheel, please contact
your dealer
