Introduction

Congratulations on your choice of new wheelchair.

Quality and functionality are keywords for all Handicare wheelchairs.

Legend 2 Exigo is manufactured by Handicare.

For your own safety, and in order to get the greatest beneﬁt from the features of

your new wheelchair, we recommend that you read this user manual carefully

before you start to use the wheelchair.

About Handicare Exigo 20

Exigo 20 has been developed in collaboration with the market. The result is a

unique wheelchair that is very comfortable and has good rolling characteristics.

A total width only 18 cm greater than the seat width provides good accessibility

through narrow doors and in tight spaces.

Exigo 20 is easy to transport in a car or in other vehicles; the chair is only 30 cm

wide when folded. Exigo 20 can be easily adapted to the needs of each user. A

wide range of adjustments can be made, and the procedures used are intuitive

and require minimal use of tools or replacement of parts.

Intended use

Exigo 20 is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. This wheelchair has been

developed for persons with disabilities and as an aid for those who have problems

with walking. Users who can control the wheelchair by rolling, steering and

braking it themselves can use the wheelchair without an assistant.

Adjusting the wheelchair

All adjustments mentioned in this User manual are to be performed by qualified

personnel or in consultation with qualified personnel.

on each of the driving wheels. Depress the

button in the centre of the driving wheel to

pops out about 5 mm when the wheel bolt

is fully in the casing.

by releasing the locking handle while

simultaneously pulling the pushing handle

upwards or downwards to the desired height.

Negotiating obstacles: steps

Figures 16 and 17

If the wheelchair is to be lifted up or down

steps with the user in the chair, if possible

use the recommended lifting points.

The lifting points are the pushing handles

and leg supports.

In order for the assistants to have a better

lifting position, they may lift one on each

side of the chair.

Negotiating obstacles:

kerbstones Figure 18

When negotiating kerbstones or similar,

swing up the anti-tip stabiliser. Then

place a foot on the tipping bar while you

simultaneously push with the pushing

handles.

Steep ground

If you frequently use the wheelchair on

hilly surfaces, we recommend that a

separate assistant brake be installed.
