6 TRANSPORTING THE E&J PARAMOUNT XD
WARNING: This wheelchair does not offer seating or occu-
pant restraint equivalent to the seat provided in
a motor vehicle! To increase your safety while
traveling in a motor vehicle, always transfer to
the vehicle seat and use the restraint provided
by the vehicle manufacturer.
The Paramount XD can easily be transported by folding the wheel-
chair:
1. Detach front rigging from wheelchair.
2. Remove the seat cushion, if so equipped.
3. Fold the wheelchair: pull up sharply on the seat sling at front
and rear center at the same time. To fold wheelchair complete-
ly, tip the wheelchair sideways (so wheel won't drag) and press
sides together.
REASSEMBLY

WARNING: Do not place your hand between seat tube and
side panel.
2. Attach footrests or legrests to wheelchair.
3. Reinstall the seat cushion, if so equipped.
WARNING: Ensure that footrests or legrests are locked in
place before occupying or operating wheelchair.
