MB3170-GB

Congratulations on your choice of new wheelchair.

Quality and functionality are the key concepts for all the wheelchairs in the

Handicare range.

For your own safety, and in order for you to get the best possible benefit from the

features of your new wheelchair, we recommend that you read this user manual

carefully before you start to use the wheelchair.

Cirrus 4 in brief

Cirrus 4 was developed with special consideration for the fact that users have

different needs and wishes, whether the chair is to be used simply as a comfort

wheelchair or will be driven by the user. As the seat height is adjustable, it is also

very suitable for people who use one or both legs to propel the chair forward.

The wheelchair can be dismantled, and features removable leg supports and a

collapsible backrest which make it easy to transport. Good rolling characteristics

are combined with a safe and reliable chair. The design is anatomically correct,

so that it is comfortable to sit in. The chair is virtually maintenance-free.
