Safety instructions

To avoid potentially dangerous situations such as tipping, you should become familiar with your new mobility base
with seating shell on level ground first.
Do not use the footrests as a stepstool when getting into or out of your mobility base with seating shell.
Get to know how the mobility base reacts when the center of gravity shifts; for example on slopes or inclines or
when clearing obstacles, like steps and curbs. This should be done only with assistance from another person.
Using the anti-tipper is strongly recommended for untrained wheelchair users.
Park the mobility base with seating shell only on level surfaces. If you have to park it on an incline, make sure
that you bring the seat to an upright position because there is a risk that it can tip over backwards when in a
reclined position.
Please note, that the seat may only be tilted with the anti-tipper in operational position.
When reaching for objects in front, side or behind the wheelchair, be sure the patient does not lean out of the
seating shell too far since the shift in the center of gravity might cause the chair to tilt or tip over.
Use your mobility base with seating shell properly. For instance, do not jump it down from higher surfaces and
do not drive against obstacles (including steps, curbs) without braking.
The anti-tipper is a component that has been designed to prevent the wheelchair from tipping over backwards.
The anti-tipper should never be used to support the back of the wheelchair with the rear wheels removed.
