CAUTION!
Risk of burning your hands
If you brake for a long time, a lot of frictional
heat is produced at the handrims (especially
MaxGrepp and Supergripp).
– Wear suitable gloves.
1.
Hold the handrims and press evenly with both hands
until the wheelchair stops.
Braking with an assistant
With an assistant’s brake (drum brake) an assistant can
brake the wheelchair while it is moving. The assistant’s
brake can also be used as a parking brake.
1.
To brake, pull the brake lever on the push handle.
2. To park, pull the brake lever firmly until the safety lever
engages.
3.
To release, pull the brake lever and release the safety
lever underneath the brake lever.
6.3 Getting in and out of the wheelchair
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
There is a high risk of overturning during the
transfer.
– Only get in and out without assistance if you
are physically able to do so.
– When transferring, position yourself as far
back as possible in the seat. This will prevent
damaged upholstery and the possibility of the
wheelchair tipping forward.
– Make sure that both castors are facing
straight to the front.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
The wheelchair could tip forwards if you stand
on the footrest.
– Never stand on the footrest when getting in
and out.
