1 Important Safety Information
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 person 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 positioned 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 lifting 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.
• Avoid running against obstacles (steps, kerbs) without braking or
moving down steps.
• Avoid using on uneven, loose surfaces.
• An assisting person should be used if going over obstacles (steps
etc.). Use the tip assist (see overview of wheelchair) to tip the
wheelchair appropriately.
• When getting into or out of the wheelchair, apply both locking brakes.
• Ensure a sufficient profile depth of your tyres.
