Special safety instructions for using
ramps
• Ensure that the wheelchair can roll
back for a short distance (neutral
zone) if forward motion on the ramp
is interrupted or when setting in moti-
on at the bottom of the ramp.
• Cars and vans should be parked on
a level and firm surface with the
handbrake on to prevent them from
rolling away.
• Ramps should be placed on the
ground and vehicle in such a way that
they cannot slip.
• Ramps should be positioned so as to
leave enough space for wheelchair
steering correction without one of the
wheels protruding over the edge of
the ramp.
• Only use the wheelchair on dry, cle-
an and undamaged ramps or lifting
equipment.
• Select the minimum final speed.
See the section entitled "Preparing the
Wheelchair for Operation" – 6. Setting
final speed".
Note:
Only use the frame tubes for lifting
and shunting
the wheelchair. – Also
refer to the section entitled "Folding/
Unfolding".
SECURING THE POWER PRIMUS II
FOR TRANSPORTATION.
Attention:
For transportation in vehicles it is es-
sential that the user gets out of the
wheelchair and uses appropriate sea-
ting in the vehicle.
The transportati-
on of persons in wheelchairs is
prohibited.
– The wheelchair is not
designed to withstand the forces which
are generated in accidents, which
exposes the user to considerable risks.
If the POWER PRIMUS II is in the trans-
portation vehicle, proceed as follows:
– Switch off the wheelchair.
– Put the control box in a safe place or
replace it on the wheelchair.
– Place the dismantled parts of the
POWER PRIMUS II in a safe and pro-
tected place.
– Secure the wheelchair by way of
elasticated straps.
– Move the brake release lever into
the "drive" position.
Note!
The elasticated belts should only be
affixed to the structural parts of
the car envisaged for this purpose
and only to the wheelchair frame!
Suitable fixing points can usually be
found in the car and in the vehicle ope-
rating manual.
Note!
Before transporting the wheelchair,
ask your car dealer how to secure it
without risk to the existing fixtures or
other safety fittings!
