Important Safety Information - Bischoff & Bischoff Pyro light Optima Instructions For Use Manual

1.1 Important safety infor-
mation
In order to avoid toppling and dangerous situations, you
should practice safe handling of your new wheelchair on a
flat and familiar surface. In such a case, an assisting per-
son is recommended.
• Prior to using the wheelchair, please check whether all
parts attached have been fastened properly.
• Never lift the wheelchair by parts that are not fixed
firmly (the armrests or legrests).
• Ensure that instantaneous/quick-release axles are posi-
tioned correctly in the axle holders, as otherwise there
is a danger of injury.
• Please note that the danger of tipping is increased by
shifts in weight (e.g. strong upper body movements or
overcoming obstacles).
• Steps and larger obstacles may only be crossed with the
help of at least two assisting persons. For this, use lif-
ting points 1 and 2 (see overview of the wheelchair). If
equipment such as ramps, lifts or step climbing aids are
available, these should be used.
• When using on a downward incline, it must be noted
that a danger of tipping exists from 12% (7°). It is
recommended to use tilt protection.
