Oh wow lol that will be a lot easier than trying to waddle to each side and push it closed like i have been/gen Legs are doing okish at the moment so i got to test it before having to go somewhere its MUCH easier
Do you have a troubleshooting video for folding wheelchairs? The chair was working fine, then overnight became extremely difficult to fold and unfold. I'm using the proper methods in both cases. The only way it will unfold now is to struggle through til it's open enough that I can bounce up and down 2 or three times, and the only way to fold it is to lay it on it's side, grabbing the large wheel, and push/bounce until it collapses. I've checked that the screws aren't overly tight or loose, have inspected for obstructions (none), and lubricated all moving parts of the folding mechanism. No improvement. The wheelchair is rated for 600 pounds, and the individual being transported is only 212 pounds.
Wow. That definitely sounds like there is something wrong because you shouldn't have to work that hard. I do not have a trouble shooting video unfortunately because I haven't really come across that problem before. The mechanism that allows most wheelchairs to collapse is made up of the 2 bars under the seat that form an "X" that works in the same way a pair of scissors does. It's connected by a bolt in the middle that lets them pivot on each other. This bolt may be bent or fouled up in some other way. Another thing that could cause something like what you're describing is if something is bent. The seat of the chair used in the video has bars at each corner that slide up and down in a tube when you fold the chair. This could also cause the chair to have trouble collapsing or unfolding. I hope you get it figured out. Best of luck.
