Warranty - Sunrise Medical Breezy BasiX Directions For Use Manual

Danger!
Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is correct. The
correct tyre pressure is printed on the edge of the wheel, for rear
wheels it should be at least 3.5 bar ( 350 kPa).
The knee-lever brakes will only work if there is sufficient tyre
pressure and if the correct setting has been made (see the
Chapter on "Brakes").
Danger!
The wheel locks are not intended to brake your wheelchair. They
are only there to ensure that your wheelchair does not begin rolling
unintentionally. When you stop on uneven ground, you should
always use the wheel locks to prevent such rolling. Always apply
both wheel locks; otherwise, your wheelchair could tip over.
Danger!
If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must replace them
immediately.
Danger!
Be careful with fire, in particular with burning cigaretts, seat and
back slings can set on fire.
Danger!
To avoid injuries to the hand, when operating the wheelchair, grip
between the rear wheel and the knee-lever brake.
Danger!
If and whenever possible, during a journey in a specially fitted
vehicle for disabled people, vehicle occupants should use the
seats in the vehicle and the appropriate restraint system. This
is the only way to ensure that occupants will have the maximum
protection if there is an accident. When using safety elements
offered by SUNRISE MEDICAL and using a specially designed
safety system, lightweight wheelchairs can be used as a seat when
being transported in a specially fitted vehicle. (See the Chapter on
"Transportation").
Danger!
Always make sure that the quick-release axles on the rear wheels
are set properly. If the button on the quick-release axle is not
pressed in, the rear wheel cannot be removed.
Danger!
In particular when using lightweight metal handrims, fingers will
easily become hot when braking from a high speed or on long
inclines.
Danger!
If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight for a long period of
time, then parts of the wheelchair (e.g. frame, legrests, brakes and
sideguard) may become hot (>41°C).
Note !
When using the chair outside, always wear leather gloves which
will increase your grip and protect the fingers from dirt and
overheating.
Note !
The effect of the knee-lever brake as well as the general driving
characteristics are dependant on tyre pressure. The wheelchair is
significantly lighter and easier to manoeuvre when the rear wheels
are pumped up correctly and both wheels have the same pressure.
Note !
Make sure that your tyres have sufficient tread!
Please note that you are subject to any and all traffic laws when
driving in public traffic.
Note !
When it is dark, please wear light clothing or clothing with
reflectors, so that you can be seen more easily. Make sure that the
reflectors on the side and back of the wheelchair are clearly visible.
We would also recommend that you fit an active light.
Note !
Do not use the wheelchair on slopes > 10°.
Do not use your wheelchair on muddy and icy ground.
Do not use your wheelchair where pedestrians are not allowed.
Note !
Please be always careful with your fingers when working or
adjusting the wheelchair!
