Congratulations on purchasing a quality ProBasics®K4 Lite

Strength Lightweight Wheelchair. Our wheelchairs combine

style and durability at an affordable price. Please be sure to

read these instructions and warnings thoroughly and follow

the instructions of your healthcare provider to maximize the

wheelchair’s benets and your safety.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST OR OPERATE

THIS WHEELCHAIR WITHOUT READING ALL

INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

Remove the wheelchair from all packaging including tape,

cardboard and plastic. Check all parts of the wheelchair for

damage before use. If any parts are missing or damaged, DO

NOT attempt to use the wheelchair. If you do not understand

the manual, contact your dealer for a complete explanation

of the instructions, cautions and warnings. Otherwise injury

may result.

NOTE: DO NOT use excessive force when installing any parts.

TO OPEN/UNFOLD WHEELCHAIR

Open wheelchair by tilting to one side toward

you and pushing down on seat rail until fully

opened. Ensure seat rails are fully cradled in

seat rail guides (Fig. A).

TO CLOSE/FOLD WHEELCHAIR

First, fold foot plates to vertical position. With both hands,

grasp the middle of the seat upholstery at the front and back

edge and lift up. Or, tilt chair to one side toward you and lift up

on seat rail.

NOTE: Keep hands and ngers clear of moving parts to

avoid injury.

INSTALLING/REMOVING THE FRONT RIGGINGS

1. Turn the front rigging to the side (open

footplate is perpendicular to wheelchair).

2. Install the front rigging hinge plates onto

the hinge pins on the wheelchair frame

(Fig. B).

3. Push the front rigging towards the inside

of the wheelchair until it locks into place.

An audible click will be heard.

NOTE: The footplate will be on the inside of the wheelchair

when locked in place.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the opposite side of the wheelchair.

5. To release the front rigging, push the footrest release lever

inward, rotate footrest outward. To remove the front rigging,

lift and remove from hinge pins.

ANTI-TIPPER INSTALLATION

1. Remove the anti-tippers from the

accessory box.

2. Insert the anti-tippers with the wheels

curved down towards the ground/oor

until they lock back into place. You will

hear an audible click once locked (Fig. C).

3. Repeat for other side.

NOTE: Ensure both anti-tippers are positioned to same setting.

ATTACHING SEAT EXTENDER

1. Remove tube end caps and u-clips from either side of the

wheelchair seat rails.

2. Take the seat extender attachment with Velcro side up and

align into corresponding seat rail tubes. Line up the holes on

the seat rails to the holes on the seat extension tubes.

3. Insert the u-clips and depress until fully locked onto the

seat rail.

4. Slide the Velcro upholstery extension under the seat

upholstery on the wheelchair to adhere to the matching

Velcro strip.

NOTE: Ensure the extender is locked in place and secure

before putting to use.

ADJUSTING LENGTH OF FOOTREST/LEGREST

NOTE: When adjusting length of footrests or legrests, user

should be sitting in wheelchair with feet on the footplates.

1. Flip up the locking clamp around the

support assembly (Fig. D).

2. Raise or lower the footplate to desired

position by pressing thumb and index

ngers on the two push pins just above the

locking clamp. Front rigging should not

be so low that it causes uncomfortable pressure to thighs at

front of seat upholstery. Footrests should not be lower than

2 ½” from the ground to ensure proper clearance.

3. Once the desired length is found, ensure that both push pins

are securely locked in place. An audible click will be heard

when they lock in. Flip the locking clamp down into the

locked position.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the opposite side.

RAISING/LOWERING THE ELEVATING

LEGREST ASSEMBLY

(WC4L1616DE, WC4L1816DE, WC4L2016DE)

1. To raise the elevating legrest, the assistant

or user should grab hold of the support

tube and raise elevating legrest until desired

height is obtained.

2. To lower, support user leg with one hand.

Push release lever downward with one hand.

Gently, lower user leg down and rest against

the legrest (Fig. E).

ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF ARMS

To adjust height on armrest, simply pull the release knob toward

the back of the chair while pulling the armrest upward. Adjust

armrest to desired height, lining up the adjustment knob into

the corresponding hole. Ensure the adjustment knob returns

completely back to a fully locked position.

RAISING/LOWERING THE FLIP-BACK ARMS

1. Unlock the ip-back arms by pushing the

armrest release towards the front of the

wheelchair (Fig. F).

2. Pull the front of the ip-back arm straight up

and out of the arm socket and towards the

rear of the wheelchair (Fig. F).

3. To lower and lock the ip-back arm, push

the armrest towards the front of the wheelchair and then

downward into the arm socket.

4. Ensure the armrest release lever is in the locked position

before use. An audible click will be heard.

QUICK RELEASE REAR WHEELS

Easily change rear wheels to hemi position or completely

remove wheels to reduce chair weight for easy loading in car.

Assure the quick release axles for the rear wheels are in the

locked position before each use. The axles are locked when the

quick release button is fully protruding and the ball bearings on

the other end of the axle are fully exposed.

Always check that

the axle is locked by pulling gently on the wheel in an outward

direction.

NOTE: A quick release axle that is not fully locked can result in

the wheel coming off during use and potentially causing injury

to the user.

TRANSFERRING TO AND FROM OTHER SEATS

Position the wheelchair as close as possible alongside the seat

to which you are transferring, with the front casters pointing

parallel to it. Flip up the armrest. Engage both wheel locks.

Shift body weight into seat with transfer. During independent

transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Use a

transfer board, if possible.

NOTE: This activity may be performed independently provided

you have adequate mobility and upper body strength.

USING WHEEL LOCKS

Engage both wheel locks before getting in or out of chair,

leaning forward in chair, or while in an elevator or wheelchair

lift. Proper adjustment of wheel lock is at least 1/8” when

locked. Engage wheel locks by pushing the handles completely

forward. Test for correct locking action before actual use.

STABILITY

The wheelchair is designed to be safe and stable as long as the

user’s center of gravity is maintained while going about normal

activities. Care must be taken while performing activities that

shift your center of gravity while in the chair. Never reach so

far that you have to shift in the seat or bend over out of the

chair. When you must reach for objects that require you to lean,

be certain front casters are pointing in a forward position that

extends the wheel base and aid in stabilizing the chair.

RAMPS

Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and strength

before attempting to go up a wheelchair ramp without

assistance. Correct techniques on ramp negotiation should be

demonstrated by a qualied professional. Assistance is highly

recommended when going up or down inclines greater

than 10°.

If you must stop on an incline, avoid sudden abrupt movement

when you resume movement. Sudden movement could cause

instability. Attempting to use the wheel locks could result in

accidental locking, tipping to one side, or cause a sudden stop.

Avoid changing direction when going down an incline, as this

could result in instability and tipping over.

NOTE: Always use the hand rims for self-propulsion. DO NOT

grip the rear wheels themselves.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL CARE

Wipe chrome parts with a clean soft cloth at least once a

week. All metal parts can be cleaned with auto wax or similar

products. If exposed to moisture, dry immediately. Do not use

an abrasive cleaner that will scratch the nish.

WHEELS

Large rear wheels should be inspected at least once a month to

ensure proper tightness. If wheel wobbles or is loose, release

lock nut and tighten axle bolt slightly. Test for proper tightness

and alignment by leaning chair to one side and spin adjusted

wheel.

TIRES

Solid rubber tires need minimal maintenance, but should be

cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Replace if tires become

severely worn or cracking appears.

FRONT CASTERS

Casters should be checked periodically and lubricated

occasionally. Lubricate wheel bearings by removing wheel from

fork. Reassemble fork and wheel by tightening nuts

until no play remains, but wheels roll freely. If nut is too loose,

caster will shimmy. If it is too tight, chair will be difcult to steer.

SEAT UPHOLSTERY

Wash the upholstery at least once a month with soapy water.

Ensure that the upholstery is dry before using.

HAND GRIPS

Use only a clean towel dampened with cool water when cleaning

hand grips. Conrm that the grips are dry before using. NEVER

use ammonia-based cleaning solutions or soap on hand grips.

This may cause the hand grips to loosen or slide off the frame.
