For some of the indications special equip-
ment variants may be required on the aid,
such as:
–
special handrims,
–
electric adjustment options,
especially for highly complex provisions,
this can extend to the physiological correct
standing and lying position.
The appropriateness of the aid as well as
the extent of requirements is constituted
through the doctors prescription, often
combined with the consultation protocol of
a therapist or medical device adviser.
SPECIFICATIONS
The electric wheelchair is an environ-
ment-friendly electric vehicle. The electric
wheelchair was developed for adolescents
and adults, in order to increase their limited
action radius due to health or age depend-
ing problems.
The model has been assigned the 'Use Class
B' as per the EN12184 standard. The electric
wheelchair with active footboard and arm
support units serves solely to transport
one seated person and not as a pulling aid,
transporter or similar.
USE
Do not reach onto the turning surface of
the wheels or grip the tyres of the rotating
wheels. – Danger of injury!
The wheelchair is driven through the joy-
stick integrated in the operating module.
Refrain from jerky starts with your wheel-
chair. – Danger of tipping over or tilting!
Do not use the wheelchair without the
lowered footboard or when the arm sup-
port units are removed!
Avoid driving on inclinations or slopes
with insufficient surface condition.
The wheelchair is applicable on level, firm
surfaces and can be used as follows:
–
for indoors (e.g. apartment, day care),
–
outdoors (e.g. paved paths in parks),
–
as a companion on tours (e.g. in a bus
or train).
–
Never expose the wheelchair to ex-
treme temperatures and damaging
environmental conditions, such as sun-
light, extreme cold or salty water.
–
Sand and other dirt particles can seize
on moving parts and render them with-
out function.
You must not let yourself be carried in your
wheelchair by having the wheelchair lifted
from the floor. Parts that are not secure-
ly fixed, e.g. arm support units, can come
away and thus cause an accident.
☞
The wheelchair is a vehicle and not a
carrying device.
Only apply the wheelchair within the
scope of the specifications and limitation
described in chapter
