BRAKE Arrange an immediate repair of the brakes by your specialist workshop if the braking performance reduces. By locking the brakes with the brake lever (1), the wheelchair is secured against rolling away unintentionally (parking brake). Depending on the version, the wheelchair can be equipped with pressure brakes (2) or with drum brakes (3).
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 9. Lower leg support For entry into, exiting the wheelchair or "scuttling" (forward motion of the wheel- chair with the feet) the footplates (1) are to be folded up and the calf pads (2) folded outward in driving direction [3].
LEG SUPPORT UPPER PART The upper leg support with an inserted lower leg support is termed leg support [1]. Turning the leg supports to the side Leg supports turned to the side are re- leased automatically and can easily come off.
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 the chapter Lower leg support on page 11.
Mechanically height-adjustable leg supports Never put the free hand into the adjust- ment mechanism. Have the leg support secured by an accompanying person against unintentionally falling down. Do not let the leg support drop on its own weight. – Danger of injury! Lifting/lowering the leg support Before lifting/lowering relieve the leg sup- port by an accompanying person by slightly...
Adjusting the height of the footplate Loosen the clamping screw (1) to adjust the height. ☞ Loosen the clamping screw (1) so far that no damage to the coating occurs during the adjustment. ☞ Observe the maximum extension mark (2). Telescope the footplate to the desired height and then retighten the clamping screw (1).
ARM SUPPORTS Do not use the arm supports [1] to lift or carry 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...
Adjustment of the armrest height Before loosening the clamping screws (2) secure the arm support against falling down with your hand. – Danger of jam- ming! The maximum arm support height has been reached when the marking on the square tube is visible. First loosen the clamping screw (1) of the height stopper before adjusting the height of the arm support.
BACK SUPPORT WITH AN- GLE ADJUSTMENT Before any actions on the back supports the wheelchair is to be secured against unintentional rolling motions. ☞ Therefore observe chapter Brake on page 9. Adjusting the angle of the back support The angle of the back support [1] is contin- uously adjustable through the gas pressure spring.
Folding down the back support Fold open the safety latch (2) first for folding over the back support [1], then remove the pin (3). ☞ All the while hold the back support in position with one hand on the push bar or handle in order to prevent it from tilt- ing over to the back.
Back support upholstery The back support upholstery is attached to the back shell with velcro straps [1] and can be pulled off for cleaning or maintenance [2]. ☞ The cover can be removed with the zip- per for washing. ☞ Therefore observe the label with the washing instruction (3).
HEAD SUPPORT A headrest mounted to the wheelchair serves as a support for the posture of the head, not as a transport security. The upper edge of the adjustable head support [1] should always be close to the back of the head at about eye level. ☞...
SEAT INCLINATION Before any actions on the seat unit the wheelchair is to be secured against unin- tentional rolling motions. ☞ Therefore observe chapter Brake on page 9. The seat unit is continuously tiltable through the gas pressure spring [1]. Adjustment of seat inclination Activate the left lever (2) on the push handle for continuous adjustment of the seat unit.
RISING AID Before using the rising aid, secure the wheelchair and fold up the footplates. ☞ Therefore observe chapter Brake on page 9. The seat is angled forward for the stand-up aid [1] (negative seat inclination). ☞ The negative seat angle setting serves as support for getting up when the wheelchair is standing.
WHEELS 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. at- tached without tools.
Handrims Take care that you do not squash your hands when driving narrow routes, e.g. building entrances, doorways, etc.. – Dan- ger of injury to the hands! Replace damaged handrims immediately in order to prevent your hands being in- jured by such handrims and in order to al- ways have full control of your wheelchair.
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 onto the respective lateral back brace with latches.
FOLDING/UNFOLDING The wheelchair is to be secured before folding/unfolding. ☞ Therefore observe chapter Brake on page 9. Folding the wheelchair Proceed as follows to fold the wheelchair [2]: In necessary remove the seat cushion. 2. Remove or swivel away the leg sup- ports.
