Wheelchair Components - Quickie Argon Ti Directions For Use Manual

the centre of gravity setting of the wheelchair, the castors may
begin to wobble at high speeds. This can lead to the castors being
blocked and the wheelchair may tip over. Therefore, please make
sure that the castors are adjusted correctly (see the Chapter
"Castors"). In particular, do not travel on an incline without brakes,
travel at a reduced speed. We recommend that novice users use
anti-tip tubes.
Danger!
Anti-tip tubes should prevent the chair tipping over backwards
unintentionally. Under no circumstances should they take the place
of transit wheels, and be used to transport a person in a
wheelchair with the rear wheels removed.
Danger!
When reaching for objects (which are in front of, to the side or
behind the wheelchair) make sure that you do not lean too far out
of the wheelchair, as if you change the centre of gravity there is a
risk of tipping or rolling over. The hanging of additional load (back
pack or similar items) onto your chair backposts can affect the
rearward stability of your chair, especially when used in combinati-
on with recliner backrests. This can cause the chair to tip back-
wards causing injury.
Danger!
For thigh amputees you must use anti-tip tubes.
Danger!
Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is correct. For rear
wheels it should be at least 3.5 bar ( 350 kPa). The max. pressure
is indicated on the tyre. The knee-lever brakes will only work if the-
re is sufficient tyre pressure and if the correct setting has been
made (see the Chapter on "Brakes").
Danger!
If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must replace them
immediately.
Danger!
Be careful with fire, in particular with burning cigarettes. Seat and
back slings can be set alight.

Danger!
If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight for a long period of
time, then parts of the wheelchair (e.g. frame, legrests, brakes and
sideguard) may become hot (>41°C).
Danger!
Always make sure that the quick-release axles on the rear wheels
are set properly and lock in. If the button on the quick-release axle
is not pressed in, the rear wheel cannot be removed.
Note !
The effect of the knee-lever brake as well as the general driving
characteristics are dependant on tyre pressure. The wheelchair is
significantly lighter and easier to manoeuvre when the rear wheels
are pumped up correctly and both wheels have the same pressure.
Note !
Make sure that your tyres have sufficient tread! Please note that
you are subject to any and all traffic laws when driving in public
traffic.
Note !
Always be careful with your fingers when working or adjusting the
wheelchair!
