Introduction

The Enigma Expedition wheelchair is designed for occasional or frequent use,

and can be used indoors and outdoors. The wheelchair is designed for a

single user of up to 135kg (21 stone) for the standard models or 150kg (23.5

stone) for the heavy duty models. The wheelchair is available in either a

transit or self-propel model.

The wheelchair can be manually moved in forward and reverse and is

propelled by the carer or attendant pushing the wheelchair using the push

handles.

front of the wheelchair, as this could result in

damage to the wheelchair. Use the stepper

pad as described later in the handbook.

Disassembly And Storage

This wheelchair has a number of quick release components and the

wheelchair frame is easily foldable to facilitate a light carry weight and

minimize storage space.

1. Half Folding Back.

Follow the previous instructions to fold the back.

2. Folding the wheelchair.

Grab the centre of the front and rear edges of the seat canvas. Pull

upwards on the seat sling and the wheelchair should naturally fold up.

IMPORTANT: The wheelchair has not been tested as a seat in a motor

vehicle. Users should always transfer to the vehicle’s seat and the

wheelchair should be safely stowed away.

3. Leg Rests

To install the leg rests, place

the leg rests on the two

posts mounted on the frame

(1). Swing the leg rests

inwards to lock in position.

To remove the leg rests,

press the chrome lever on

the leg rest and swing the

leg rest out. Lift up the leg

rest from the two posts to

remove.

Using The Stepper Pad

An attendant can use the stepper pad to raise the front castors (when

mounting a kerb for example). To use, push down on the stepper pad with a

foot. Do not raise the front castors by pushing down on the push handles as

this could result in damage to the wheelchair.

To mount a kerb.

Approach the kerb head on. Then the attendant uses the stepper pad to raise

the front castors, and lowers the front castors on the raised kerb. Finally the

attendant should push the wheelchair forward, lifting it up slightly to mount

the kerb if required.

To go down a kerb.

Line up the front castors with the edge of the kerb. The attendant uses the

stepper pad to raise the front castors and tip the user slightly back. Keeping

the castors raised, slowly lower the wheelchair down the kerb.

wheelchair during motion, squeeze

both brake levers so they move up

(1). Release the lever to release the

brake.

To operate the brakes as a

temporary parking brake, push both

levers down (2) to lock the brake on.

To release the brakes, lift the brake

levers up.

Parking Brakes

If the wheelchair is stationary for a

long time or unattended, then apply

the parking brakes.

shown by the arrow) to apply the

brake.

brake.

Operation And Propulsion

Before Using the Wheelchair read the safety notices below:

Use slow speeds on gradients. Do not exceed the

maximum gradient stated.

The wheelchair is only suitable for single occupancy.

Keep your feet on the footplates when moving. Do not

stand on the footplates –they are designed only to be

used when the user is seated in the wheelchair.

Do not use escalators.

Do not reverse down a gradient

Maintain proper balance at all times. Users should not

move their centre of gravity out of the seating area.

Do not reach for items further than your arm will extend.

Be aware of hazards in your environment, such as narrow

doorways, steps, household appliances, children’s toys,

etc.

We recommend you consult your healthcare professional

for advice about transferring to and from the wheelchair.

The parking brakes should always be applied when

transferring.

Ensure that fingers and objects do not get caught in the

spokes of the rear wheels.

The transit wheelchair can only be propelled by an attendant. The attendant

should push the wheelchair from behind using the handgrips, and following

the safety advice above.

The self propel wheelchair can be propelled by an attendant (as directed

above) or the wheelchair user. The user can propel themselves by pushing on

the handrims attached to the side of the rear wheels, and slow themselves

down by applying pressure to the handrims.

When stationary the brakes should always be applied.

Using The Lap Belt

The lap belt is to restrain the wheelchair occupant during normal use. The

lap belt is not be used as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Under no

circumstances should the Expedition wheelchair be used as a seat in a motor

vehicle (e.g. cars, buses, trains, etc).

The lap belt should be adjusted to suit each user. The length of the belt can

be adjusted by the tri-glides (as shown in the diagram overleaf). The lap belt

has a luggage-style large locking clip to fasten and unfasten the lap belt. To

fasten the lap belt, push the clip in to the receiver until it locks in the

position (which can be heard by an audible click).

When fastened, the lap belt should be tight around the user’s pelvis without

causing discomfort or undue pressure. This will help keep the user’s hips and

pelvis towards the back of the wheelchair. Use the tri-glides (shown) to adjust

the length of the lap belt. The length of the lap belt should be checked each

time the belt is used.

There is a risk of suffocation from users ‘submarining’ (where they slide down

the chair until the lap belt is around the neck area). To reduce the risk of this,

ensure that the lap belt is used under supervision and is used as instructed.

The lap belt may not be suitable for all users of wheelchairs. Seek professional

medical advice before using the lap belt.
