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 10

Exigo 10 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 10 is easy to transport in a car or in other vehicles; the chair is only 30 cm

wide when folded.

Intended use

Exigo 10 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.

Assembly Figure 2

The wheelchair is supplied complete as

standard. The only thing you need to do

is to unfold the chair and, if necessary, fit

the leg supports.

Unfolding the wheelchair Figure 3

Unfold the wheelchair by pushing down

with flat hands on the upholstery next to

the seat tubing.

NB: Do not grasp the seat tubing – you

may catch your fingers!

Put the seat cushion (accessory) in

position and ensure that it lies correctly

on the seat fabric.

Folding up the wheelchair Figure 4

Remove the seat cushion (accessory)

and fold up the footplates or remove

the leg supports before you fold up the

wheelchair.

Grasp the seat fabric and lift it directly

upwards.

The seat will fold itself up. Make sure that

the backrest fabric folds itself backwards.

The wheelchair has a quick-release hub

on each of the driving wheels. Depress the

button in the centre of the driving wheel to

remove or replace the wheel.

NB: Check that the wheel is properly

fastened by making sure that the button

pops out about 5 mm when the wheel bolt

is fully in the casing.

armrest

Ensure that the armrest

Swinging out/fitting/removing

the leg supports Figures 7

The leg supports can be swung in and

out or removed to make transfers easier.

The leg support is released by turning the

handle (7A) inwards or outwards while

swinging the leg support.

Once the leg support has been swung to

the side, it can be lifted up and removed

completely if desired. To replace it, follow

the above procedure in the reverse order.

The handle will automatically lock itself.

Negotiating obstacles: steps

Figures 13 and 14

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 15

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.
