How to measure
The user is sitting down. Measure the length of the thigh (from lumbar to the front of
the knee). Measure the length of the shank, from the shoe soles to the top of the
kneecap. Make sure that the user is comfortable in the chair or sits against a straight
wall on a bench.
Seat depth adjustment
Adjust the footrest to fit the shank length. Adjust the footrest so that the thigh is
placed in parallel with the seat cushion. It is more comfortable if the front of the
thigh is placed a bit higher than the back. It must not be too high as this can cause
preassure on the gluteal muscles.
Armrest
The backrest pipes has mounting brackets for the height adjusting rail which makes
the armrest height adjustment stepless.
This should be adjusted when testing the chair. Contact your responsible tester if you
need to make any changes.
IMPORTANT: The armrests should be at the same height on both sides of the
backrest.
How to adjust the seat depth
Remove the seat cushion. Rise the chair to almost full standing position. Remove the
seat mat half way starting at the back.
A screw in the seat pipes is holding an inner pipe, that can be adjusted backwards and
forwards. Loosen the screws on both sides and adjust the inner pipe, to achieve
desired seat depth. Then loosen the screw (se picture) on the strut under (behind in
standing position) the seat and adjust to the same hole number as in the seat pipes.
Make sure to tighten the screws well. When you have reached the desired position,
assemble the seat mat and add back the cushion.

Center of gravity adjustment
Adjustment of seat depth changes the center of gravity.
When the seat depth increased the CG need to be moved back by moving the back
wheels back. The CG must be adjusted by authorized personal.
WARNING:
When the seat depth is adjusted, the backwheel need to
be adjusted proportionately.
Adjustment of backrest
Precision adjustment on the backrest is done by choosing the most comfortable
angle, based on default adjustments. It is possible to change even more, but it is not
recommended since it can be uncomfortable in a standing position due to the back
bending to much. To achieve desired angle, the two screws below the back must be
adjusted at the same time.
The backrest have 4 modes of adjustment (+2,0,-2,-4)
Check adjustments
When the wheelchair is properly adjusted, the user should be able to rise to a standing
position with her/his knees fully stretched.
The chair is properly adjusted if the imaginary line from hip to ankle, straigth thru the
knees, is completely straight. If it´s not, place the user in a sitting position again and
make a new precision adjustment. Primarily adjust the seat and the back and
thereafter the shank support.

Standing position with a manual raising
Preparations before standing position
Never stand alone the first time you test your wheelchair. Raising may affect your
bloodpreasure and cause fainting etc.
The chair must be in the brake mode before raising.
At the uprising with the Superior, all four wheels must remain on solid level ground
at a safe distance from slopes, ravines, stairs, etc. Make sure that the front support
legs end up on the flat surface when standing up.
Assemble the shank support on the extendable arms that are places on the right and
left side in front of the brake levers. Make sure that the support is properly assembled
before raising.
A belt must be used at all raising.
If the belt is equipped with a ”snap”—locking buckle, press it together until you
here a clicking sound. Pull the belt just tight enough for the users chestsize. To
open, push the buttom in the middle of the buckle and pull apart.
What position and what type of belt to use shall be decided at the testing,
depending on the users need, in cooperation with authorized staff.
If the wheelchair is equipped with ”banana” armrests, they must be folded up in
front of the user.
REMINDER
Never place the chair in a standing position without a person in the chair, due to
the problem it may cause to lower the chair without a persons weight in the
chair. If this should happen we recommend to place a fully mobile person in the
chair and thereafter lower it down to a sitting position.

Manöverdosan är märkt med upp och ned pilar för val av upp och nedfärd.
Emergency lowering
If the wheelchair should get stuck in a standing position, the chair needs to be
emergency lowered. This can be done in two ways;
1) If the wheelchair should get stuck in a standing position due to a low battery,
just connect the battery charger to the control box and in the nearest socket.
The chair is low lowered by direct elictricity. The chair shall be left on charge at
least 12 hours if the battery was empty.

Version: 1.1
2) If the wheelchair should get stuck in a standing position due to a broken cable
or something else, the wheelchair must be lowered manually (for this
maneuver it takes tools and assistants). The bolt that holds the engine in the
upper engine mount must be unscrewed and the engine shall be folded dawn
and backwards. Beware that the weight of the person sitting in the chair will
make the seat fall down into a sitting position. It is very important that the
assisting persons follow the chair to a sitting position, to make the descent as
smooth as possible.
The chair must now not be used until an authorized workshop has looked at
the chair and rectified errors.
Control adjustments
When all the adjustments are done:
In a seated position:
The user must feel comfortable sitting down. To achieve the best stability in the
chair, the driveshaft of the backwheel should be placed in the center of the pelvis.
The driveability must feel comfortable and right.
In a standing position:
When the wheelchair is properly adjusted, the user should be able to rise to a standing
position with her/his knees fully stretched.
The chair is properly adjusted if the imaginary line from hip to ankle, straigth thru
the knees, is completely straight.
It has to be easy to reach the raising handles. It has got to be possible for the user
to, within the standing wheelchairs asjustment abilities, reach the handles without
being forced to lean forward, as she/he must sit down again.
If any of the foregoing descriptions are not complied, place the user in a sitting
position again and make a new precision adjustment. Primarily adjust the seat and
the back and thereafter the shank support.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning and safety instruction
Transfer to and from the standing wheelchair
It is important to always lock the brakes. If your wheelchair has pneumatic tires,
the air pressure affects the brakes and its afficiency. Always make sure to keep the
right air pressure. The easiest way to perform the transfer depends on your type
of disability. Discuss with authorized persons.
If possible, avoid pressure on the raising handles and footplate.
To handle obstacles and steps:
No matter what type of obstacles you are facing you should approach it carefully,
and preferably with the help of another person.
Driving in a slope:
Driving upwards:
Many experienced users can make it up a slope by them self. To not loose the
stearing grip and to avoid tipping backwards, you should always lean forward
while you make it up the slope. Drive forward with short and quick strokes of the
handrims to maintain the speed an maneuverability. At a steep slope you
generally need assistance. If you need to stop in the middle of a slope, make sure
you do not make a sudden move backwards when you start driving forward
again. Since the wheelchair already are leaning backwards, this kind of movement
could result in the wheelchair tipping backwards. Make sure to use anti tippers.
Driving downwards:
We recommend that you use assistance in steep and wet slopes. Start with
checking the gradient and see if there is any particular risks; pits, holes, slippery
parts etc. Always lean your upper body backwards. Never use the block brake to
slow down the speed. If you use the brakes downhill, the wheels lock and the
wheelchair can turn to another direction, tip sidewards or come to a dead stop
and throw you out of the chair. Always control the speed with the handrims. The
handrims can get warm due to friction and may injure you hands. Try to drive as
straight as you can downhill. Never change direction during the drive downhill.

Never drive up or down a slope diagonal. It is very important to always control the
speed and driving directions using the handrims.
You can lower the risk of falling by not driving in slopes that
are too steep or too long.
Transportation & lifting points
Simplified transportation
To simplify transportation of the wheelchair in a car, it can easily be folded.
- Remove antitippers.
- Remove backwheels with the help of Quick release.
- Fold the backrest by pulling the string on the backside of the backrest. This
releases the two locks on the right and left side.
- Assemble the wheelchair in reverse order. When you assemble the wheelchair,
make sure that all the parts (backrest, backwheel and antitippers) are locked in
their position before usage.
WARNING: Your wheelchair is not designed or tested to be used as a seat in a
car tranportation. Therefor do not sit in the car during transportation. For this
occasion you must use an approved seat.

Maintenance
We advise you to once a year make an inventory of the most important functions
on your wheelchair. For this reason we have attached a Service Book to the
wheelchair, to make it easier for you to keep track of what and when something
has been done with the wheelchair during the usage. We advise you to fill in the
Service Book to be able to control the service occasions on your wheelchair.
Except the yearly inventory, we advise you to continuously control the air
pressure in your wheels for the best comfort and braking. Also make sure to keep
your wheelchair clean – this increases the life of your wheelchair.
Also make sure that detachable/foldable parts, as wheels, anti tippers and back
rest are locked in their positions.
