Introduction; Handling The Wheelchair; Use - Ortopedia Impuls ORTOform Operating Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing a wheelchair
from the IMPULS model range.
With its many design versions and acces-
sories, Impuls-ORTOform wheelchair sys-
tem can be adapted to suit your varying
clinical needs.
Like any other vehicle, a wheelchair is a
technical aid. It requires explanations for
use and a degree of maintenance. It also
has hidden dangers that may appear if it
is used incorrectly. The correct handling
must therefore be learned.
These instructions are intended for use in
conjunction with the booklet "Safety In-
formation for Mechanical Wheelchairs",
to help you to familiarise yourself with the
operation of the wheelchair and to pre-
vent accidents.

Children should read these instructions
and the booklet "Safety Information for
Mechanical Wheelchairs" with their par-
ents, guardian or carer before venturing
out for the first time.
Note:
Please note that the equipment ver-
sions illustrated may differ from your
model.
