1. General Safety Instructions
1.1
Please read the instructions for use first! Before using the product, you should
be familiar with the handling, function and use of the product.
You may compromise your safety if you do not observe these instructions.
However, it is impossible to protect against and avoid all unforeseeable circum-
stances and situations.
1.2
Do not ascend or descend stairs without the assistance of attendants.
If devices such as ramps or elevators are available, they should be used. If
wheelchair-friendly access is missing, two attendants must carry the wheelchair
over the obstacle.
1.3
If possible, the footplates should be flipped up before getting into or out of
the wheelchair.
1.4
Risk of accident when driving without experience. This can lead to falls and
other dangerous situations. Therefore, familiarize yourself with the new wheel-
chair by practicing on even, straightforward terrain first. Learn how the wheel-
chair reacts when the center of gravity shifts; for example on slopes or inclines
or when clearing obstacles such as steps and curbs. This should be done only
with the assistance of another person.
1.5
Risk of damage caused by overload.
1.6
The drive wheels must be replaced in case of tire damage. Periodically check
the wear condition.
2. Delivery and Preparation for Use
(Please Note: The photos here may show differences to the wheelchair you actu-
ally received).
Your wheelchair is usually delivered fully assembled, folded, and with the rear
wheels mounted.
A few simple steps are sufficient to prepare it for use.
