INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your choice of new

wheelchair

Quality and function are key aspects of all

wheelchairs in the HandiCare series.

Emineo is manufactured by Handicare Produksjon

AS. Production takes place at Lillehammer in

modern premises, using high-tech equipment. With

the production at Lillehammer, we have excellent opportunities for influencing the

design of the wheelchair models. We would be very pleased to receive feedback

from you regarding your experiences with this wheelchair. This will help us to

continue to improve the product.

For your own safety, and in order for you to get the best possible benefit from the

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

carefully before you start to use the wheelchair.

Handicare Emineo in brief

Emineo has been developed in line with the market. The result is a wheelchair

with particularly good seating comfort through its unique tilt function and newly

developed back solution.

Emineo is an extremely light wheelchair, it rolls easily and has a narrow seat,

which provides good capabilities for negotiating obstacles through narrow doors

and in narrow rooms.

By means of its extensive accessories programme, Emineo can easily be

adapted to each user. Many different adjustments can be made and the adjusting

procedures are intuitive and demand minimum use of tools and replacement of

parts. Measuring scales on all adjustment points simplify the adjustments and

ensure their accuracy.

In order to be able to properly understand this manual, it is important that you

are aware of the commonest terms used to describe the various parts of the

wheelchair. Examine the drawing below, and note the relevant parts on your

wheelchair.

The equipment on your wheelchair may vary slightly from that shown in Figure

1. The wheelchair is delivered with two types of equipment; “Basic” and “One-

tool”. Where functions, controls and adjustments differ on Basic and One-tool

equipment, this will be indicated in the text and figures in this user manual. Where

Emineo is set up as an assistant-manoeuvred chair, it is equipped with different

wheel dimensions and a brake lever for the assistant on the pushing handle.

ASSEMBLY

Figure 2

Assembly Figures 2 and 3

• Fit the leg supports, see page 7

USING THE WHEELCHAIR

Figure 5

Figure 6

Quick-release catch Figure 4

The wheelchair has a quick-release catch

on the driving wheels. Press the button in

the middle of the driving wheel in order to

remove or attach the wheel.

NB!

Check that the wheel is properly secured

by ensuring that the button pops out

approximately 5 mm when the wheel bolt

is completely in the casing.

Height adjustable pushing handle

Figure 5

The pushing handle is adjusted by

loosening the locking handle (5A) whilst

moving the pushing handle upwards or

downwards to the desired height. Re-

tighten the locking handle.

For extra safety, the pushing handle is

fitted with a snap lock in the uppermost

position. To remove the pushing handle,

pull it up to the uppermost position and

press the snap lock (5B).

Armrests, removing and fitting Figure 6

Remove the armrests by lifting them up. To

fit them back on, place them in the armrest

tubing.

USING THE WHEELCHAIR

Figure 7

Figure 8

Swing out/attach/remove the leg

supports Figures 7 and 8

The procedure is the same for fixed and

angle adjustable leg supports.

The leg supports can be swung in/out or

removed in order to make transport and

getting in and out of the chair easier. The

leg supports can be released by twisting

the lever (7A) inwards or outwards whilst

swinging the leg supports.

After the leg support has been swung to

the side, it can be lifted straight up and

completely removed if desired. In order

to attach it again, carry out these steps

in reverse order, and the handle will lock

automatically.

The complete leg support unit and

fastenings can be removed, see page 25.

NOTES

Using the brakes Figure 9

Pull the brake lever towards you to engage

the brake.

The brake is only designed to hold

the chair when it is stationary. Under

no circumstances should it be used

as a driving brake.

To make sideways transfer easier, the

brake lever can be folded down. This is

done by pulling the brake lever upwards

and then folding it down.

Using the brakes on Emineo with

assistant brake (assistant brake is

standard on helper-guided chairs; also

available as an accessory) Figure 10

• Squeeze the brake handles (18A) to

brake

• Push the release handle (10B) away

from you to lock the brakes on when

parking. Squeeze the release handle

to release the brakes

Figure 12

Anti-tip stabiliser/tipping bar Figure 11

The anti-tip stabiliser is put into position by

pulling it out and turning it in a downward

direction simultaneously. The anti-tip

stabiliser is adjusted as standard with

a clearance to the base that makes it

possible to mount doorsteps etc.

The tipping bar is accessible when the

anti-tip stabiliser is up or down.

Tilting Figure 12

When you tilt the chair, the balance point

is retained. As you tilt the chair backwards,

the back opens 8°. You can use various

methods for tilting the chair depending on

your function level:

• The assistant squeezes the tilt lever and

the user leans forward/backward

• The assistant squeezes the tilt lever and

the user pulls himself forward/pushes

himself backward using his hands

A user-controlled tilt lever which the user

can use without the help of an assistant, is

available as an accessory.

The balance point on Emineo can be

adjusted for optimal use in relation to the

user’s function level and weight. See page

21.

Do not put hands etc. between

the side frame and leg support

attachments when tilting the

wheelchair.
