Thank you for choosing a R Healthcare Modular Wheelchair. We hope you

The R Healthcare Modular wheelchair is one of the many quality products
produced by R Healthcare. It will give you many years of trouble free use if
used according to the instructions provided.
This range covers modular features and options built into a complete
wheelchair to meet occupant needs, as determined by clinical assessment.
The benefits of modularity allow different features to be incorporated into a
finished specification, which meets the assessed needs of the wheelchair
user. The Access Fully Modular is the most adaptable specification, covering
occupant sizes up to 160Kg. The Accent wheelchair incorporates seat depths
of 19” and is beneficial for taller users. The wheelchair you have received has
been built for you.
The User Guide is in two parts, each containing essential information, which
must be read before attempting to use the wheelchair.
This first part of the User Guide has been designed to answer any questions
users may have about the R HEALTHCARE MODULAR WHEELCHAIR
FEATURES. The second part contains GENERAL GUIDANCE & SAFETY
INFORMATION with lots of practical advice.
Users requiring more detailed advice about using the wheelchair should
contact their Approved Distributor who has full service information manual
and facilities. Very often, the need for a simple adjustment may be found
after a short period of use, or alternatively the wide choice of build
configurations available within the R HEALTHCARE MODULAR specification
may allow the wheelchair to be reconfigured to improve its operation in line
with the occupant / user need as this changes.
