1. INTRODUCTION
Netti III XHD is a comfort wheelchair meant for both indoor and outdoor use.
In Alu Rehab we presuppose that wheelchairs are chosen based on a thorough assessment focusing on the needs of the user and demands from the environment.
It is therefore important to know about the possibilities and restrictions of the wheelchair. Netti III XHD is a wheelchair designed for users with the need for comfort and relief. The combination between the seating system and the ergonomic solutions in the frame construction, offers many possibilities for adaptation and adjustments.
The wheelchair is constructed for indoor and outdoor use, and offers the possibility to vary the sitting position from activity to rest using tilt and recline functions.
Max user weight:
Netti III XHD - 200 kg
When mounting accessories such as power kit etc, the weight of the accessories must be subtracted from the max user weight.
Specifications varies between countries.

1.1 AREAS OF USE/INDICATIONS
FOR NETTI III XHD
Netti III XHD is a multi- functional wheelchair for partially or fully immobile persons with physical and/or mental disabilities. It provides a means by which a disabled person who requires the possibility to vary the sitting position from activity to rest will profit from using tilt and recline functions. It is designed for users with the need for comfort and relief.
The combination between the seating system and the ergonomic solution in the frame construction offers many possibilities for adaptation and adjustments.
The disabilities may have multiple causes.
Netti III XHD has an adjustable seat and back angle, thus facilitating for the user change of position, mobilization or posture correction
(stabilization), wherever the following functional impediments with their multiple possible causes are present:
• limited or lacking mobility
• limited or lacking muscle power
• limited movement range
• lacking or limited trunk and body stability
• hemiplegia
• rheumatic-type disorders
• craniocerebral injuries
• amputations
• other neurological or geriatric disorders.
If our standard solutions does not cover
you needs, please contact our customer
service for Netti customized solutions.
1.2 CONTRA INDICATIONS
With strongly muscular spasticity we recommend the Netti Dynamic System which offers a frame construction that follows the movement pattern of the user.
Ignoring this advice could in unfavourable circumstances lead to the deformation or fracture of metal parts in the area of the back tube, the leg rests or the arm rests.
1.3 QUALITY AND
DURABILITY
The disability of the user as well as the level of maintenance does foremost decide the durability of the wheelchair.
Thus, the durability will vary depending on these two factors.

WASTE DISPOSAL

Salt water can increase risk of
corrosion. Further precautions related
to environmental conditions not
needed.
When the chair is tilted rearwards,
the anti tips and brakes must
always be in use.
Be sure to lock all handles properly.
The anti-tips should always be used
for the safety of the user.
Watch out for pinching danger when
folding and unfolding, tilting,

Unfix the hub bushing, including washer and nut, and mount it in required position in the main wheel bracket.
2 pcs 24 mm open-end spanner
In chapter 5 the overview shows that you can choose between several models of both front castors and front forks. To change the height of the front castors - unfix the wheel and replace it in the required position in the front fork.
Make sure that the nut on inside of
frame totally wreathes the wheel
bushing.
When the seat height is changed, make
sure that the bearing house of the front
castors are adjusted to vertical position
to the ground. (See chapter 6.5)

The risk for tipping increases when the
main wheel is moved forward in the
main wheel bracket.
Check the position of anti tip.
Readjust the brakes. (See chapter
6.17).
6.7 BACK REST
• Unfold and lift the back rest up and fit the
gas strut into the bracket.
• Secure the back rest by pushing the
locking bolt in from the side, through the
bracket and gas strut head.
The seat depth can be adjusted 100 mm in the rear and 100 mm in front.
ADJUSTING SEAT DEPTH AT
THE REAR
Adjusting seat depth at the rear:
• The back rest hinge has 5 holes with
25 mm distance between them.
• The seat depth can be adjusted from
400-500 mm (Measured from front of
seat plate to backrest tube without back-
rest cushion).
• On the frame under the chair plate there
is mounted an extra locking head for the
gas strut.
• The short locking head covers seat
depth 400 mm, 425 mm and 450 mm.
• The long locking head covers seat
depth 450 mm, 475 mm and 500 mm.
(There is also a long back rest hinge
which covers longer seat depths. See
chapter 5).
If the gas strut does not seem to fit, use the lower horizontal bar on the back rest to compress the gas cylinder. Hold the recline handle pused in while you press the bar towards the gas cylinder and thereby compress it. Let the handle lose and fit the gas cylinder into the gas strut head.
6.8 ADJUSTING THE SEAT DEPTH
The seat depth can be adjusted both in the back and in the front of the seat.
Adjustments are done to give the user a comfortable seating position with proper lumbar support while the knee joint is aligned with the leg support knee joint.
By adjusting the seat depth the chair balance and the driving characteristics may change. A well balanced chair is easy to drive without easily tipping backwards.
Always start with adjusting the seat depth backwards, then adjust the leg support fixing bracket to make the leg support knee joint align with the user knee joint. If necessary the driving wheel position also needs to be change.
• When changing the position of the back rest hinge, also remember to change the position of the gas strut under the chair.
The bracket has 3 holes. When the back rest hinge is set in the shortest position, the gas spring is placed in the front hole using the short locking head.
18
My-Netti.de
Model: Netti III XHD
Language: English Version:
For each position the back rest hinge is pulled out, the gas spring is moved one hole towards the rear. When the gas spring reaches the rearmost hole with short locking head, change to long locking head and start from the front hole again.
6.9 ADJUSTING SEAT DEPTH AT
THE FRONT
It is possible to adjust the seat depth up to
100 mm at the front. By restless users the extension piece should not be pulled out more than 50 mm. Do the following:
When using the comfort seat plate it
is recommended to change seat plate
when changing seat depth. The seat
plate comes in depth: 400 mm, 430 mm
& 460 mm.
• Unfix the screw holding the extension piece
for the leg support.
• Set the extension piece to the required
position.
• Fix the screws, tighten them with 25 Nm
By using the Velcro adjustment straps in
the chair-back you can gain a few cm on
the depth.
Seat depth in the rear is adjusted as follows:
• Release the tilt gas strut by tilting the seat
all the way forward.
• Pull out the locking bolt for the backrest,
and place the back rest forward in the seat.
• Remove the screws holding the back rest
hinge, and set the hinge to a position
which gives the backrest the required
position. Do both sides at the same time.
• Replace the backrest screws band fix them
• Remember to move the gas strut as
described earlier in this chapter - to reach
90° back angle when the gas strut bottoms.
6mm Allen key
By setting the extension piece to different positions, it is possible to compensate for a rotated pelvis or different length of thighs.
6.10 ANTI-TIP
When adjusting the seat depth at the
rear, the screw in the backrest hinge
must be tightened with 14 Nm
6 mm Allen key
13 mm open-end spanner
If the user requires another back rest
angle than what is standard, it is
possible to change the position of the
gas strut in three positions under the
chair in front.
When changing seat depth, you also
change the tipping point of the chair.
This can be prevented by changing the
position of the main wheel in the main
wheel bracket. (See chapter 6.6).
Adjust anti-tippers accordingly -
chapter 6.10
• Adjust the anti-tip so that it does not stick
outside the radius of the wheel.
• Pull the anti-tip out / rearwards from
chassis.
• Turn it down 180°.
• Lock it in position by moving forwards
with the spring tension.

The anti-tips are delivered adjusted
according to ordered main wheel size
in standard position. If other
adjustments are carried out, anti-tips
have to be adjusted accordingly.
Adjusting anti-tip
The anti-tips must be adjusted whenever the position or dimension of the main wheels are changed.
Correctly adjusted anti-tips should be positioned just on the inside of the radius of the main wheel. Anti-tips are adjusted as follows:
• Unfix the locking clamp on the anti-tip bar
using an Allen key.
• Pull or push the bar to required position.
• Fix the locking clamp.
• Do the same procedure on the opposite
side.

Check that both anti-tips have the
same length. The gap between the
anti-tip wheels and the floor must be
20 - 30 mm.
If the anti-tip is positioned on the
outside of the main wheel radius, it
will interfere with curbs and stairs.
The arm pad and locking screw are set in the middle position. This can be adjusted to fit the user.
6.12 CUSHIONS
Cushions are fixed and adjusted on the wheelchair using the Velcro.
The anti-tip should always be used
for the safety of the user.

7. SEAT ANGLE / TILT
AND BACK ANGLE /
RECLINE
7.1 SEAT ANGLE
The seat angle is regulated using the tilt release handle mounted on the push bar.
The seat unit can be tilted from -9° to +16°.
7.3 KEY WORDS REGARDING
TILT AND RECLINE OF STATIC
COMFORT WHEELCHAIRS, AND
COMMON FEATURES OF
DYNAMIC WHEELCHAIRS
Tilt and recline are the basic benefits of a comfort wheelchair. It allows for varying seating positions during the time in the wheelchair.
7.2 BACKREST ANGLE
The backrest angle is regulated using the recline release handle mounted on the right side of the push bar. The angle can be regulated from 4° forward to ca 40° backwards.
We have reviewed the clinical evidences regarding tilt and recline, and found there are several studies or best practice guidelines suggesting that the tilt and recline sequence is important to reduce shear and sliding:
First tilt then recline afterwards.
When bringing the client upright again, the sequence should be reduce recline first then tilt. It would seem that the most shear would be induced when going upright from a recline and tilted position.
To ensure correct function of the
wires, these must never be taut.
The seat and back-rest angle must not
be adjusted without using the anti-tips.
The release handles has each on of the following label:
7.4 DECREASE THE POSSIBILITY
OF SLIDING, SHEAR AND
PRESSURE SORES:
Only use the tilt angle to achieve variation of the seating position for the user. It is common knowledge that recline should not be adjusted after the back angle is accommodated to the user’s best seating position.
The muscle tone of the neck and back should be as low as possible for the user to prevent sliding, and a change of the recline angle from the original position will interrupt and destroy the correct body position, and cause an increased muscle tone in the neck.
Tilt Recline
Risk for tipping.
Check the position of anti-tip.
When chair back extension is mounted, the tipping risk increases. If necessary it should be improved by moving the main wheels further back.
Always use anti tippers when recline and tilt functions are seeing activated.
If the recline function is used during a transfer situation or other situations, it is very important that the recline angle is adjusted back to the correct, original position when the user is back to a normal seating position.
Wrong usage of recline causes an increased possibility of sliding, and this means an increased danger of shear (vertical and horizontal forces) and pressure sores.

MAKE SURE THAT THE USER IS
SAFE WHEN THE TILT OR
RECLINE FEATURES ARE GOING
TO BE ADJUSTED
:
The tilt and recline functions of all Netti comfort wheelchair models is a «one hand operation», including the dynamic wheelchair models. This is a great benefit for the user: The care giver is able to establish eye contact with the user when the tilt or recline function is going to be used. The care giver is also able to communicate with the user before the tilt or recline function is used. The user will feel more safe when he/ she is aware that the tilt or recline function is going to be used.
7.5 OPERATING TILT HANDLE:
TILTING THE SEATING UNIT
Press the left handle on the push bar and put pressure to the push bar to tilt the seating unit with one of your hands, while you have eye contact with the user and put the other hand on the arm support.
The correct relative angle between the body parts remain the same when the seating unit is tilted.
Wherever you let the handle loose, the seatthe seating unit up, press the handle and the tilt cylinder will assist you lifting the seating unit up.
A backward tilted seat unit gives a steeper seating angle in relation to the surface, and prevent sliding of the wheelchair user.
A forward tilted seat unit brings the user in a position where activities - for instance by a table or by standing up from the wheelchair, is supported.
The tilt handle and the tilt sign is on the push bar - shown on the previous page.
Never leave the user alone when the seat is tilted forwards. The user can slide forward.

9. MANOEUVRING
9.1 GENERAL TECHNIQUES
The weight and balance of the chair influences the manoeuvring ability of the wheelchair.
The weight, size and sitting position of the user are also influencing factors. The position of the wheels will influence the driving performance. The more weight placed over the main wheels, the easier it is to manoeuvre.
If heavy weight is placed over the front castors, the chair will be heavy to manoeuvre.
Netti III XHD can be challenging to manoeuvre due to size and load. Be very careful when driving on any not horizontal surface. You may loose control.
Step approach:
Always approach the step in slow motion preventing the front castors to hit the step with force. The user could fall out of the chair by the impact. The front castors could brake.
Driving forward down steps/ sidewalks
Be cautious that you do not drive down steps higher than 30 mm. The leg supports may hit the ground first. Thereby you might loose the control and the leg supports may brake.
Companion: If the user is left alone in the wheelchair, always lock the brakes and secure that the anti-tips are turned down.
Parking:
Increase the underneath support of the wheelchair by moving the chair about 100 mm backwards making the front castors turn forward.
Driving on soft, rough or slippery ground can make safe manoeuvring more difficult as the wheels may loose traction and it is difficult to control the wheelchair.
EMERGENCY ESCAPE ROUTES:
Netti III XHD with seat width 500 mm and more, has an overall width exceeding
700 mm and may have difficulties passing emergency escape routes.
9.2 DRIVING TECHNIQUES
- STEP UP -
Companions, drive up a step forwards:
• Check that the anti tip is turned up
• Angle the wheelchair backwards.
• Lift the push handles while pushing the
chair onto the step.
Turn the anti tip down.
Users, drive up a step backwards:
This technique is only useful if the step is very low. It also depends on the clearance between the foot plates and the ground.
• Check that the anti tip is turned up.
• Drive the chair backwards towards the
step.
• Make a firm grip on the push rims and
move the body forward while pulling.
• Pull the wheelchair up the step and
backwards long enough to get the front castors on the step.
Turn the anti tip down.
Companions, drive up a step backwards:
• Check that the anti tip is turned up
• Pull the chair backwards next to the step
• Angle the wheelchair backwards,
moving the front castors slightly up in
the air.
• Pull the wheelchair up the step and go
backwards long enough to put down
the front castors on the step.
Turn the anti tip down.

9.4 DRIVING TECHNIQUES
- SLOPE -
Important advise for driving down and up hill avoiding the risk of tipping. Be very careful and take into considerations the required strength necessary to brake and control a big wheelchair on a slope.
Avoid turning the wheelchair in the
middle of a slope.
Always drive as straight as possible.
It is better to ask for assistance than
taking risks.
Always be extra careful when driving up
and down hills and slope due to the size
and the weight of the chair.
It may become too heavy to stop the
chair.
Users, driving uphill:
Move the upper part of the body forwards in order to maintain the balance of the chair.
Users, driving downhill:
Move the upper part of the body backwards to maintain balance of the chair.
Control the speed of the chair by clutching the push rims.
Attendant:
Do not use the parking brakes on the tires.
Use the drum bakes.
Be careful not to make a sudden stop, the user may fall out of the chair.

Using a lift:
Before transfer to chair:
• Tilt the chair seating unit a little.
• Remove the head support.
• Remove the leg supports.
• Recline / open the back rest angle slightly
to give space for the belt behind the back
of the user.

the transfer is finished.
9.9 LIFTING THE WHEELCHAIR
• The unfolded wheelchair should be lifted
from 2 persons holding on to the frame and
push bar only.
It is marked with the below symbol where
it should be lifted.
Never lift the wheelchair in the leg-, arm-
or head supports. They may detach and
the wheelchair may fall and get
damaged.
Never lift the wheelchair with a user
in it.
Never stand on the foot plates due to
the risk of tipping the chair forwards
.
9.8 POINT OF BALANCE
Adjust the point of balance by changing the position of the main wheel in the main wheel bracket.
• Move the main wheel hub and the
main wheel. (Chapt. 6.6)
• Adjust the brakes. (Chapt. 6.17)
2 pc 24 mm open-end spanner
5 mm Allen key
When the main wheels are moved forward, it will be easier to manoeuvre the wheelchair, but the risk of tipping backwards increases.
The point of balance can also be
changed by adjusting the seat angle
and/or angle of the backrest.
Always use the anti tip.
Check that the main wheel and quick
release are locked properly. (Chapt 6.2)
