6. TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT IN CAR

Your Excel wheelchair is designed to be easily transported by car. Your wheelchair is foldable so the total width is

limited to an average measure of 20 cm. Further your wheelchair is equipped with swing away detachable

footrests. At the same time some wheelchairs can be equipped with a couple of size decreasing accessories, like

quick release (detachable) rear wheels and a foldable backrest.

6.1 De-assembly

Take away the foot rests on the front side of your wheelchair (see chapter ‘adjustments and mounting’ for a

description).

Remove the seat cushion if your wheelchair is equipped with one.

Fold the wheelchair: stand next to the wheelchair and pull the seat upholstery straight up in the middle of the rear

and front together. To fold the chair completely, tilt the chair sideward (so the wheels can not drag) and push the

sides toward each other.





 Attention! A number of EXCEL wheelchairs have lengthened backrest upholstery on the lower side.

This lower side is equipped with a Velcro strap, which is folded under the seat. You will have to lose

this first before folding the chair.

If it is necessary to remove the rear wheels owing to small space, or when your wheelchair is equipped with a

foldable backrest, than see chapter 6, ‘adjustments and mounting precautions’.

6.2 Assembly

If the rear wheels are removed, you will have to place them back first (see chapter 6, ‘adjustment and assembly

precautions’)

Go stand next to the wheelchair and tilt the wheelchair a bit towards you and push the seat tube down. The

wheelchair will un-fold. Go stand before the wheelchair and push again on the two seat tubes to ensure that they

are directly on the frame. This is confirmed by flat seat upholstery.





 Warning: if you de-assemble the wheelchair, ensure yourself that both tubes are on their places in

the holders on the front of the frame. If not, the chair is unsafe for use.

Transport of the wheelchair in cars

This wheelchair has been crash tested in standard configuration.

However, Van Os Medical UK Ltd strongly recommends not transporting people in the wheelchair, for safety

reasons. If anyone still needs to be transported in a wheelchair on a transporting system, the following must

comply:

- The wheelchair must be placed in the driving direction

- A safety belt must be used

- The safety belt should be attached as shown on the labels on the wheelchair. For connection points on the

wheelchair we direct you to the connection symbols on the wheelchair

- A head rest should be mounted and solidly positioned during the entire transport

- If possible the seat cushion must be lowered to achieve a lower centre of gravity

- The wheelchair has been crash tested and complies with the requirements of ISO 7176-19.

7. MAINTAINENCE

Protect your Excel wheelchair by having it serviced regularly.

Whenever any part of your wheelchair is not functioning properly, a hazardous situation could result. Periodic

inspection, adjustment, and replacement of worn parts will provide many years of superb performance. A qualified

Van Os Medical UK Ltd dealer, who will use only Van Os Medical UK Ltd replacement parts, best performs

maintenance.
