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.

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).

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

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.
