BRAKE Arrange an immediate repair of the brakes by your specialist workshop if the braking performance reduces. Wheelchairs with PU-tyres when stored for longer periods of time, should be put away safely without activated pressure brakes, since otherwise permanent defor- mations to the tyre surface could occur.
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.
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).
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 12. 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.
Heel strap The heel strap (1) prevents the feet from sliding off the back of the footplates. Removing the heel strap For removal the heel strap is pulled off of the attachment bar (2) or, after opening the velcro fastener, pulled from the insert tube (3).
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 15.
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 17.
Removing the leg supports With removed leg supports there is an in- creased danger of tilting backwards. 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].
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 Fold the locking levers (2)+(3) first in order to remove the arm support. Afterwards remove the arm support toward the top [1]. Inserting the arm support First insert the arm support beside the seat surface from the top into the guide [4]. Then press the arm support down and swiv- el the locking lever back down (2) resp.
Swivelling up the arm support For transfer out of/into the wheelchair the arm support can be swivelled upward as well as folded behind the back support [1]. Fold the front locking lever up in order to swivel up the arm support (2). Afterwards swivel the arm support about 90°...
Height adjustment of the arm support For height adjustment of the arm support secure the support pad with one hand to prevent it from falling down. Danger of jamming during the height ad- justment of the arm supports between the wheels and adjustment lever. Version 1: (only on model 1.750, 1.850) The upholstered arm support pads can be...
BACK SUPPORT Back support belt, standard The back strap is tightened through the back tubes (1). The extended back support element is vel- cro strapped underneath the seat strap. Back support with angle adjust- ment An angle adjustment increases the dan- ger of tilting and may only be carried out with support castors attached.
Continuous angle adjustment of the back support A back support with a gas-pressure spring may only be reclined to the rear when the wheelchair is parked on an even and firm surface. For driving, the back support must be returned to the upright position. During the angle adjustment both push handles are to be pushed down evenly, otherwise there is a danger of tilting.
Back shell (only on model 2.750, 2.850) 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 12. 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 un- intentional rolling motions. – View chap- ter Turning the leg supports to the side on page 18. 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-...
PUSH HANDLES The height adjustable push handles are about 20 cm continuously height adjustable 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 Tyres are made of a rubber mixture and can leave permanent or difficult-to-re- move marks on some surfaces (e.g. plas- tic, wooden or parquet flooring, carpets, mats). Drive wheels Do not use the wheelchair without mounted drive wheels. After inserting the drive wheel the locking button (2) must stick a couple of millime- tres out of the wheel nut.
SUPPORT CASTORS Support castors do not provide sufficient protection against tipping over in certain situations. Definitely refrain from the following: – Leaning the upper body far back. – Jerky acceleration, especially when driving uphill. In order to raise the tilting stability never drive without the support castor swiv- elled to the back.
HANDRIMS Weather related danger of slipping of the hands on the damp, smooth handrims. ☞ If needed apply optional handrim cover. The wheelchair can be propelled with on hand with the double handrim [1]. Specialities for double handrims Before each ride ensure the secure fit of the connection rod (2).
HEAD SUPPORT Always adjust the upper edge of the head support close to the back of the head and at about eye level. Do not position the head support at neck height. Pull the head support out of the bracket maximally up to the marking.
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 [1] resp. [2] is screwed from the back onto the respective back support tube.
