Please consult your specialist dealer if you require other safety belt systems. He shall gladly assist
you further.
ANTI-TIPPING DEVICE (B78)
For your safety your electric wheelchair is equipped with an anti-tipping device. Do not remove this
device (exception: see the chapter on transporting the wheelchair), otherwise your wheelchair is not
safeguarded against involuntary tipping.
L
Before driving off, make sure that the anti-tipping device is inserted on both sides and securely
fastened.
L
Always, before driving off, ascertain that the tipping protector is mounted in such a way that its
rollers bear on the ground to prevent toppling further over backwards in the event of
unintentional tipping.
BODY SUPPORTS (L04)
To adjust the depth of the "pelotten", you can loosen screws (2) and set the "pelotten" to the desired
depth.
L
Make sure that all screws are properly tightened after the assembly, otherwise the stability of
the "pelotten" is endangered, and this may cause injury and/or damage.
L
Make sure that the rail system is properly mounted and that nothing obstructs its functional
integrity.
L
If the wheelchair is not fully assembled when delivered, only your specialist dealer who has
suitable tools and knowledge of the fittings, may perform the mounting procedure..
L
Improper assembly voids any warranty claim.
L
When the body supports are fitted, you should sit quietly and naturally in your wheelchair to
allow correct fitting.
L
Make sure that no objects and/or body parts are located between the "pelotten" and the back
of the "pelotten" when these are pulled tight, otherwise bruising and/or damage might occur.
If you have further questions about the indications and function of the "pelotten", kindly contact your
specialist dealer. He would gladly answer your questions.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Some safety tips are given below for your security:
L
To prevent injury and/or damage to your wheelchair, make sure that no objects and/or body
parts are caught in the spokes of the driving wheels.
L
Do not step on the footplates when entering or leaving the wheelchair. The footplates must be
folded up beforehand, or the leg supports should be swung outwards out of the way.
If your upper body requires stronger bracing than that
provided by the standard backrest, we offer a lateral
support system which can be mounted on the
backrest. The guiding rail is mounted vertically about
6 cm behind the backrest to one side. The screw
threads set in the back are to be used for this purpose
The supporting rods are inserted from the rear and
secured by the two Phillips screws. When adjusting
the height and depth of the "pelotten", slightly loosen
the Philips screws (1) and place the "pelotten" in the
desired position. Then retighten the Philips screws
(1).
