SPECIFICATIONS ☞ The wheelchair is a vehicle and not a carrying device. The wheelchair was developed for adults. Only apply the wheelchair within the The wheelchair solely serves to transport scope of the specifications and limitation one person in the seat and not as a hauling described in chapter Technical data on aid, transporter or similar.
ADJUSTMENT ☞ The indicated lifespan does not consti- tute additional guarantee. Always have adaptation and adjustment work carried out by a specialist dealer. The wheelchair offers manifold adjustment possibilities to individual vital statistics. The wheelchair should be adapted to your needs by a specialist dealer before the first use.
OVERVIEW The overview shows, representative for all models, the most important components of the wheelchair. Pos. Description (1) Push handle (8) Steering wheel (2) Back support (9) Type plate (3) Arm support (10) Driving wheel (4) Clothes guard (11) Brake lever – pressure brake (5) Seat belt/seat cushion (12) Handrims (6) Locking lever –...
BRAKE Arrange an immediate repair of the brakes by your specialist workshop if the braking performance reduces. Wheelchairs with PU-tyres should be stored safely without activated pressure brakes in case of longer standing periods. By locking the brakes with the brake lever (1), the wheelchair is secured against rolling away unintentionally (parking brake).
Brake lever extension Do not use the grips of the brake lever as support. Do not pull off the brake lever extension whilst in motion. – Accidents could result if the brake lever extension is drawn too much. The brake lever extensions multiply the ap- plied brake force and reduce the force you need to apply in order to lock the brakes (1).
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 10. Calf belt Do not drive without the calf belt. – Dan- ger of accidents. The removable calf belt (1) prevents the feet from sliding off the back of the footboard.
Lower leg support The footplates, resp. footboard needs to be folded up before entry or exit [1]. ☞ Check the locking points! – Remove both feet from the footplates. – Remove lower calf belt, if present. ☞ Therefore observe chapter Calf belt on page 13.
Leg support upper part The upper leg support with an inserted lower leg support is termed leg support. Turning the leg supports to the side Leg supports turned to the side are re- leased automatically and can easily come off. Note this when handling (e.g. trans- port).
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 chapter Lower leg support on page 14.
Removing the leg supports For easy transfer into and out of the wheel- chair as well as a reduced wheelchair length (important for transport) the leg supports can be removed [1]. ☞ Remove the calf belt before swivelling away the leg supports. ☞...
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...
ARM SUPPORTS Do not use the arm supports to lift or car- ry 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...
Removing the arm support (only with model 2.865) To remove the arm support, loosen the clamping screw (2) first and then pull out the arm support toward the top [1]. Inserting the arm support (only with model 2.850) First insert the arm support beside the seat surface from the top into the guide [3].
90° toward the outside [6] and fold it up be- hind the back support [5]. ☞ On the version with drum brake and on model 2.845, the arm support cannot be folded behind the back support. Height adjustment of the arm support (not with model 2.865)
BACK SUPPORT Back support with angle adjustment An angle adjustment increases the dan- ger of tilting and may only be carried out with support castors attached. Stepwise adjustable back support For angle adjustment of the back support pull both release levers (1) simultaneously upward.
Back shell The back support shell [1] needs to be re- moved before folding the wheelchair. Removing the back support shell Operate parking brakes. ☞ Therefore observe chapter Brake on page 10. 2. Unscrew the knurled screws (2) of the back support shell.
PUSH BAR Before any actions on the push bar the wheelchair is to be secured against unin- tentional rolling motions. – View chapter Brake on page 10. The removable push bar connects the two back support tubes at the pushing handles [1], serves to push the wheelchair and at the same time is the bracket for the head sup- port.
PUSH HANDLES The height adjustable push handles are about 20 cm continuously height adjusta- ble and secured against being pulled out [1]. Push handles with clamping device ☞ In doing so, hold onto the push handle that is to be adjusted with one hand. ☞...
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.
SUPPORT CASTORS Support castors do not provide sufficient protection against tipping over in certain situations. A slanted tube with integrated pedal cap [1] on both sides serves for more tilting stabil- ity. Support castor length (not with model 2.865) In order to adjust the length of the support castors, press down the spring button (2) and telescopically pull or push the support castor to the desired length.
Specialities for double handrims Before each ride ensure the secure fit of the connection rod (2). The wheelchair can be propelled with on hand with the double handrim [1]. Propelling the wheelchair Both handrims are to be operated simulta- neously to drive straight forward. A curve can be driven by operating only one handrim.
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 sup- port [1] should always be close to the back of the head at about eye level.
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 [3] is screwed from the back onto the respective back support tube.
