Driving - Handicare IBIS User Manual

20"/22"/24" rear wheels
Apply the brake to the wheelchair by
pushing the handle (B) downward.

Make sure the brake handle is
pushed all the way backward
while driving the wheelchair, so
that the brake cannot be applied
accidentally.

If the wheelchair is stopped on a
slope, the brake should be
applied to prevent the
wheelchair from moving down
the slope.

Driving


As a wheelchair user, you could
be vulnerable in traffic. When
travelling in or across a road,
keep in mind that other traffic
participants may not always
notice you. Keep to the
applicable traffic regulations.

Avoid out-of-the way routes, so
that help can be on its way
quickly when needed.
Operating instructions
Push the wheelchair (12"/16")
1. Adjust the height of the push
handles.
2. Release the brake from the rear
wheels.
3. The wheelchair can now be
pushed.
Foot propelling the wheelchair
(20"/22"/24")
1. Release the brake from the rear
wheels.
2. Take the hoops of the rear wheels
and push the hoops forward or
backward with your hands.
3. The wheelchair can also be moved
by foot-propelling.
Braking (20"/22"/24")
Tightly grasp both hoops.
By braking this way, friction is
caused between your hands and the
hoops, which will create heat. If you
brake too fast, your hands may
become very hot.
Miscellaneous

Drive carefully on slippery
roads, resulting from rain, ice or
snow!

Prevent the wheelchair from
coming into contact with
seawater: seawater is caustic
and may damage the wheelchair.

Prevent the scooter from coming
into contact with sand: sand
may can affect the moving parts
of the wheelchair, resulting in
unnecessarily rapid wear.
