Page 5: Safety Instructions
Safety instructions 3.1 Meaning of symbols Caution! Warning of possible danger of accident and injury. Warning of possible technical damage. Information! About use of product. Information! For service-personnel.. Attention! Read manual before use! 3.2 Common safety instructions Read manual completely before use! Familiarize yourself with handling and functions of the wheelchair before use and practice the handling. You are responsible for the safety of your child. The safety of your child could be affected if you do not follow the instructions of this manual. Nevertheless not all possible circumstances and unpredictable situations can be covered by this manual. Reason, care and circumspection are not features of the product, they are required of persons, who use the wheelchair or attend it. The person, who is using the wheelchair and its accessories should understand all instructions. It must explained to every other person using the wheelchair and its accessories.If instructions are not clear and further explanations become necessary, or if you have further questions please contact your HOGGI dealer. Practise with the new wheelchair on even, straightforward terrain first, together with the child. Together with the child, learn how the wheelchair reacts when the centre of gravity shifts; for example on slopes or inclines or when clearing obstacles such as steps and curbs. This should be done only with assistance from another person. Using an anti-tip is strongly recommended for inexperienced wheelchair users. Strap in your child at all times, when it is in the toilet wheelchair. HOGGI points out, that any use beside the typical use can be dangerous. The toilet wheelchair is not suitable for jogging, running, skating or similar activities. Swivelling front wheels tend to wobble at higher speed, which can cause a sudden stop and tip over of the wheelchair. Use the toilet wheelchair only at regular walking speed. Under no circumstances leave the handle bar while pushing and never push the toilet wheelchair away. - Page 6 The product should only be used on solid level ground. Use your toilet wheelchair as intended by the manufacturer. For instance, do not drive into obstacles (including steps, curbs) without braking. Do not „jump” the chair down from higher surfaces.fe). Pay increased attention to driving up and down gradients. Special attention should be paid to the child falling out, the toilet wheelchair tipping over or rolling away. The toilet wheelchair should be lifted only by touching tighten parts of the frame. The toilet wheelchair should only be parked on horizontal, level surfaces. If you have to park on a slope, face the wheelchair uphill with the brakes engaged and ensure that the seat is in the upright position. There is a risk that the wheelchair might tip over backwards if the seat is the reclined position. Before leaving the wheelchair and before getting into and out of it, always lock the wheel locks. Make sure that your child does not lean too far out of the toilet wheelchair when grabbing objects (which are in front of, to the side or behind the toilet wheelchair), as the shift in the center of gravity causes a tilting or there is a risk of rollover. Please keep packaging material away from children. Plastic packaging presents the danger of suffocation. Never leave your child unattended in the wheelchair even when they are strapped in and the brakes engaged.. Both folding locks must be engaged before use. Static stability is >10,5° inclination. Attaching heavy bags or other weight to the push handles can adversely affect stability. When adjusting the back incline, the seat and knee angle with the child in the seat unit, pay particular attention to the danger of clamping for the child by stretching arms or legs out into moving parts.
- Page 7 Don´t use the footrest to get into and out of the wheelchair. The toilet wheelchair is only approved for use by one child. Disposal of waste: The packaging material as far as metal, aluminium and plastic parts can be recycled. The recycling must be operated according to the national and legal terms. Load the ventral upper body support with a maximum of 5 kg. All upholstery parts are flame retardant and meet the requirements of EN 1021 Part 1 (cigarette test) and 2 (match test). However, this does not protect the user in the seat unit from burns caused by careless handling of embers or open fire. When stored in the folded state, no load may act on the frame. Maximum load SHARKY: 60 kg. Accessories and add-ons reduce the maximum load proportionately. Protruding strap ends of the accessory parts could jam in the seat angle adjustment mechanism and prevent the locking bolts from engaging. The seat could then adjust the seat angle during use. For this reason, shorten the belt ends of accessories so that they can no longer get into the seat angle adjustment mechanism. After putting the seat unit on, check with a jerk on the seat whether the locking bolts are engaged. Please read to visually handicapped people the manual and info material - or use electric aids. Please download or read all SHARKY documents on our webside www.hoggi.de. In addition, product videos and product photo galleries are available online!
- Page 8 Whenever you change any settings on the wheelchair, make sure that you firmly tighten any screws that have been loosened. Check the condition of the product if the packaging is damaged. Be careful in case of extreme temperatures. The wheelchair can heat up significantly when in the sun or in the sauna. In extreme cold, there is a risk of hypothermia. Slowing down from high speeds or when descending longer slopes tends to heat up the hands and fingers, especially if using aluminium push rings. When using the wheelchair outdoors, leather gloves should be worn. Gloves provide the wheelchair user with a better grip and protect his or her fingers from dirt and hot metal.

X Testing the screw connections X Air pressure (indicated on the side wall of the tyre) X Visual inspection of wearing parts such as wheels and bearings X Contamination on bearings X Quick release (rear wheels) X Check firmness of the footrest Function test of the tilt mechanism Testing adjustment of the back angle Should any defects become obvious, please contact your authorized HOGGI dealer to eliminate them. We also recommend that you have your SHARKY serviced by your authorized dealer every twelve months. Instructions for cleaning and maintenance - Clean all frame components and plastic parts using mild detergents only. (e.g. Sagrotan). - Padding parts can be washed at 40 °C. If washed in a washing machine, put them in a linen bag or a pillow case. - In most cases, wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient. - Do not use your SHARKY in salt water. - Keep sand or other particles from damaging the wheel bearings. - If your SHARKY gets wet, towel-dry it as soon as possible. - Hair and dirt particles generally accumulate between the caster wheel and fork. This can restrict the caster wheels from rotating smoothly. Remove the caster and thoroughly clean the fork and caster using a mild detergent. - The rear wheels feature a quick-release system. To keep this system operational, ensure that no dirt adheres to the quick-release axle or axle housing. The quick-release axle should also be lightly lubricated regularly with resin-free sewing machine oil. - Screw connections should be checked frequently, in particular when beginning to use the wheelchair and after any adjustment. If a screw connection becomes loose repeatedly, consult your dealer. 7.2 SHARKY life cycle: The expect life cycle of SHARKY amount to 5 years, dependent on use intensity and maintenance. We recom- mend a yearly check by your authorized dealer. In case of any disorders or defects it‘s intended to hand over the wheelchair the health care supply store or your authorized dealer. -
