Use suitable personal safety belt systems for transportation (information can be obtained from
your specialist dealer).
When being transported, sit quietly in your wheelchair and avoid jerky movements.
If your illness or disability prevents you from sitting quietly during transportation (e.g. slight
spasticity, etc.), at least two more helpers are required for your safety, one on each side
holding on to solid frame parts.
Your legs and arms must not protrude outside the wheelchair during transportation.
During transportation no persons or objects may be located beneath the wheelchair to prevent
injury or damage to the wheelchair.
MOVING ON RAMPS
If you are considering ramps for overcoming obstacles, kindly note the following:
For your own safety you should drive on ramps at the slowest speed required only.
If a helper is pushing you, you must realize that the weight of the wheelchair increases the forces that
might cause it to roll backwards.
If the helper is unable to push the wheelchair up a ramp, you should immediately engage the parking
brake.
Note the information about the maximum load when driving on ramps.
Use a restraining belt to secure yourself in your wheelchair.
We decline all liability for injury or damage caused by an improper choice of ramps.
ACCESSORIES
ARMRESTS
Depending on the purpose, various armrests can be fitted. They are simply hung on the suspensions
provided on the back tube (see the chapter on "Armrests").
B02-
Long side parts with a long resting place for the arm provide protection against falling out
when the wheelchair is overturned.
B03-
Desk armrests are available which allow you to drive against a table without having to detach
the armrests.
B05-
These armrests can be adjusted to the length of your arms and thus allow you always to rest
your forearms.
Your specialist dealer will gladly advise you on the kind of armrest most suitable for you.
LEG SUPPORTS
We also have various different leg supports from which you can choose one which would suit your
individual requirements best.
B06-
Standard detachable leg supports that can be swung aside.
BZ8-
Leg supports of which the angle and the height is individually adjustable. For this purpose they
are equipped with adjustable calf plates. In addition, the angle of the footplates can be
adjusted to the inclination of the foot.
BZ7-
These leg supports are similar to the BZ8 but are approx. 12 cm longer to accommodate tall
patients with long lower legs.
PERSONAL RESTRAINING SYSTEM
For your safety we offer a safety belt (B58) fitted with loops for pulling over the backrest tube. In
addition to ease of operation the spring lock provides a high level of safety.
