BRAKE Arrange an immediate repair of the brakes by your specialist workshop if the braking performance reduces. Wheelchairs with PU-tyres when stored for longer periods of time, should be put away safely without activated pressure brakes, since otherwise permanent defor- mations to the tyre surface could occur.
Drum brake for accompanying persons The drum brake is activated by the accom- panying person through the brake levers (1). Function as operating brakes Use both brake levers evenly and only light- ly in order to achieve a controlled decelera- tion of the wheelchair.
LEG SUPPORTS Before any actions on the leg supports the wheelchair is to be secured against unintentional rolling motions. ☞ Therefore observe chapter Brake on page 11. Calf belt Do not drive without the calf belt. – Dan- ger of accidents. The removable calf belt (1) prevents the feet from sliding off the back of the footboard.
Lower leg support The footplates are to be folded up for en- try into, exiting the wheelchair or scuttling (moving the wheelchair with help of the feet) [1]. ☞ Check the locking points! – Remove both feet from the footplates. –...
Leg support upper part The upper leg support with an inserted lower leg support is termed leg support. Turning the leg supports to the side Leg supports turned to the side are re- leased automatically and can easily come off. Note this when handling (e.g. trans- port).
Swivelling in the leg supports For inward swivelling, let the leg supports swivel forward until the lock audibly engag- es [1]. ☞ After audibly swivelling the leg sup- ports inward check the respective lock- ing device. ☞ Afterwards observe chapter Lower leg support on page 14.
Removing the leg supports With removed leg supports there is an in- creased danger of tilting backwards. For easy transfer into and out of the wheel- chair as well as a reduced wheelchair length (important for transport) the leg supports can be removed [1].
ARM SUPPORTS Do not use the arm supports to lift or car- ry the wheelchair. Do not drive without the arm supports. No not grab between the frame and arm support. – Danger of squashing! When the wheelchair is being pushed by an attendant the user is to place his hands onto the arm cushions or in his lap and not at the sides between body and...
Swivelling up the arm support For transfer out of/into the wheelchair the arm support can be swivelled toward the back [1] as well as turned behind the back support [2]. Fold the front locking lever up in order to swivel up the arm support (3). Afterwards swivel the arm support toward the back and up [1].
Removing the arm support Version 1: To remove the arm support [1] fold the front and rear locking levers up (2). Then remove the arm support in an up- wards direction [1] Version 2: To remove the arm support [1] swivel the front locking lever up (2), then swivel the arm support up and inward.
Inserting the arm support First insert the arm support from the top into the rear bracket [1]. Then swivel the arm support down and press it into the front bracket [2]. ☞ In doing so the rear tube of the arm support must lie in the guide groove on the back (3).
BACK SUPPORT Adjustable back The tensioning of the back support [1] is ad- justable. Fitting the back belt The adjustable back support strap has in- fluence on the stability of the torso. The pressure of the back must be spread evenly throughout the back cover.
WHEELS Drive wheels Do not use the wheelchair without mounted drive wheels. After inserting the drive wheel the locking button (2) must stick a couple of millime- tres out of the wheel nut. The drive wheels are supported on a quick release axle [1] and can be removed resp.
SUPPORT CASTORS Support castors do not provide sufficient protection against tipping over in certain situations. Definitely refrain from the following: – Leaning the upper body far back. – Jerky acceleration, especially when driving uphill. In order to raise the tilting stability never drive without the support castor swiv- elled to the back.
RETAINING STRAP Make sure that no objects are trapped be- tween belt and the body! The retaining strap is not part of the re- taining system for the wheelchair and/or the driver during transport in motor vehi- cles. The retaining strap [1] is screwed from the back onto the respective back support tube.
