Introduction

Congratulations on your choice of new wheelchair.

Quality and functionality are keywords for all Handicare wheelchairs.

Legend 2 Exigo is manufactured by Handicare AS.

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 Legend 2 Exigo

Legend 2 Exigo 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.

Legend 2 Exigo is easy to transport in a car or in other vehicles; the chair is only

30 cm wide when folded. Legend 2 Exigo 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

Legend 2 Exigo 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.

Assembly and transport

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.

Quick-release hub Figure 5

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.

Height-adjustable pushing

handles Figure 6

The pushing handles can be adjusted

by releasing the locking handle while

simultaneously pulling the pushing handle

upwards or downwards to the desired height.

Then tighten the locking handle again.

You can remove the pushing handles

completely by releasing the locking handle,

pressing in the sprung plug (6A) and

pulling up on the pushing handles.

handle (9A) 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

Negotiating obstacles: steps

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.

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.

CAUTION: Before lifting the chair and user, ensure that the

leg supports are properly connected to the frame and the

handle/latch is engaged (see page 7: Swinging out/fitting/

removing the leg supports). Also ensure that the handle/

latch is not disengaged by your hand while lifting. If the

Exigo is configured with optional adjustable height push

handles please ensure that the locking handles have been

properly tightened (see page 6: Height adjustable pushing

handles). Failure to follow these instructions could result in

the accidental release of a lifting point from the chair and a

potential injury for the user or assistant.

In order for the assistants to have a better

lifting position, they may lift one on each

side of the chair.
