3. Operation

3.1. Wheel blocking

The Lotus has 2 braked wheels on the side of the caretaker.
The 2 smaller swivel wheels are unrestrained.
• The brake can be applied on the Lotus by pushing the blue
lip (1) on the wheel downwards (See figure 1).
• In order to take the Lotus off the brake, the same lip on
the wheel must be moved upwards by tapping the upper
side of the lip (2) (See figure 1).

3.2. Base spreading

The Lotus can be used as a standup aid with shower-toilet
chairs, shower stretchers, beds, toilets, chairs and wheel-
chairs. The Lotus is equipped with a mechanical base sprea-
der. By using the base spreader, the Lotus can be rolled close
to the person with the disability. In the narrower position, the
Lotus can be manoeuvred easily in small rooms. By kicking
one of the pedals, the base parts will move inwards or out-
wards (depending on the pedal chosen).
