Setup and Assembly

The Vive Mobility 2 in 1 Walker Wheelchair Combo comes largely pre-assembled for quick and easy setup. Assembly can typically be completed in around 5 minutes.

Initial Unpacking and Unfolding:

1. Carefully remove the unit from its packaging.
2. Place the folded unit on a flat, stable surface.
3. Gently pull the sides of the frame apart until the unit is fully extended and the seat locks into place. Ensure all locking mechanisms are secure before use.

Attaching Footrests:

The footrests are removable and can be attached when using the unit as a transport chair.

1. Locate the attachment points on the front lower frame of the unit.
2. Align the footrest pegs with the corresponding holes and insert them.
3. Push down firmly until the footrests click securely into place. Ensure they are stable before use.

Adjusting Handle Height:

The handles can be adjusted to the user's height for comfortable and ergonomic use.

1. Locate the height adjustment pins on the handle tubes.
2. Press the pins and slide the handles up or down to the desired height.
3. Release the pins, ensuring they fully engage in the adjustment holes to lock the handles in position.

Operating Instructions

Using as a Rollator Walker:

1. Ensure the footrests are folded up or removed if not needed.
2. Adjust the handle height so your arms are slightly bent at the elbow when holding the grips.
3. To move, push the rollator forward a comfortable distance, then step forward. Maintain a steady pace.
4. To engage the brakes, squeeze the brake levers on the handles. To lock the brakes for sitting, push the brake levers down until they click into the locked position. Pull them up to release.
5. To sit, ensure the brakes are locked. Turn around so your back is to the seat, and slowly lower yourself onto the seat.

Converting to a Transport Chair:

1. Ensure the unit is on a flat, stable surface and the brakes are locked.
2. If not already attached, securely attach the footrests as described in the Setup section.
3. The backrest can be adjusted for comfort in transport mode.
4. The user should sit facing forward with their feet on the footrests.
5. The caregiver should stand behind the unit, holding the handles, and release the brakes to push the user.

Folding for Storage/Transport:

1. Ensure the unit is on a flat surface and the brakes are unlocked.
2. Lift the strap or handle located on the center of the seat. The unit will begin to fold inward.
3. Continue lifting until the unit is fully folded. You may need to gently push the sides together.
4. The footrests can be folded up or removed for a more compact size.

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Vive Mobility 2 in 1 Walker Wheelchair Combo.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and seat regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Wheel Inspection: Periodically check the wheels for debris, wear, and proper rotation. Remove any hair or lint that may impede movement.
• Brake Check: Test the brakes regularly to ensure they engage and lock properly. If brakes feel loose or ineffective, they may need adjustment.
• Frame Integrity: Inspect the aluminum frame for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose fasteners. Do not use the unit if any structural damage is observed.
• Storage: Store the unit in a dry, clean place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Vive Mobility 2 in 1 Walker Wheelchair Combo, refer to the following common solutions:

• Unit does not fold or unfold smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism or seat area. Ensure the seat is lifted completely when folding.
• Brakes are not engaging or locking: Inspect the brake cables for kinks or damage. The brake tension may need adjustment. Consult a qualified technician if you are unsure how to adjust them.
• Wheels are not rolling freely: Check for debris (hair, lint, dirt) wrapped around the wheel axles. Clean the wheels thoroughly. Ensure the wheels are properly attached and not loose.
• Unit feels unstable or wobbly: Verify that all frame connections are secure and that the unit is fully unfolded and locked into place. Check for any loose screws or bolts and tighten them if necessary.
