INTENDED PURPOSES AND CONDITIONS OF USE

This model is a self-propelled wheelchair which means that it can be moved manually by driving the hand rims on the rear wheels or by an assistant using the push handles.
It may be used for both rehabilitative and active purposes and is therefore suitable for daily use by both occupants with severe disabilities (with limited movement of the legs, arms or torso) and "active"
occupants (capable of carrying out activities independently). It is used to assure the independent mobility or assisted movement of an occupant with reduced or no use of one or more parts of the body.
Given the ample range of possible accessories and configurations, the wheelchair can be used safely both indoors (flat, gym, school, library, etc.) and outdoors (street, pavement, yard, etc.) with ambient
temperatures between -30 and +60 °C.
If the occupant is affected by particularly severe disabilities or unable to move autonomously, the help of an assistant is always advisable. We also discourage use over hilly, particularly soft, sandy or uneven
ground, on slopes exceeding the recommended gradient and in acidic environments.
During daily use of the wheelchair, the occupant may come across situations such as rough or irregular terrains (gravel, cobblestones, holes on the ground, etc.) or slippery terrain
(wet, sandy, dusty, oily hard surfaces, etc.). In all such situations and, in general, in all cases where use of the wheelchair may be difficult or risky (for the wheelchair and its
occupant), it is always advisable to move carefully and smoothly without sudden acceleration or hard braking.
When the difficulty or risk is high, the help of an assistant is always advisable.
The maximum slope that can be negotiated to prevent the wheelchair from tipping over backwards is 3° (6%).
All footrests require the occupant to wear socks or shoes, so do not rest bare feet on them.
The seating surface, in cloth or other material if available for this model, is not designed to be directly sat on by the occupant; it is therefore necessary to provide a cushion for the
occupant to sit on and which must be ordered separately according to the occupant's specific needs.
Maximum weight load for the model BASIC LIGHT: 125 kg.
In certain configurations, the wheelchair may exceed 700 mm in width. In such cases, under certain circumstances, it may not be possible to use some or all of the available escape
routes from a building. If the wheelchair configuration causes the wheelchair width to exceed 700 mm, it may be difficult or impossible to travel on public transport.
BASIC LIGHT Given its dimensional and structural characteristics, the wheelchair model is ideal for use by both teenagers and adults.
