Welcome to the MUSTANG User Guide
The Aim of the design
(EU Community Registered Design number – 001161095-0001)
The Mustang is intended to be used by Children who are not able fulfil their lifestyle
due to limited walking ability. It is designed to function indoors, with a small
wheelbase that allows easy access through doorways and internal rooms. The
Mustang has been designed to provide an appropriate level of stability to enable it to
be driven outside, assuming appropriate assessment of the risks involved has been
carried out by the parents/carers. The Mustang can be driven up slopes and ramps
for access into buildings. The Mustang has sufficient lighting to ensure safe driving
outdoors. The Mustang can drive on hard surfaces, and on dry flat grass surfaces in
parks and gardens where the grass is mown and maintained as a lawn.
The purpose of the MUSTANG
is to meet children’s specific needs in a powered
chair. We have designed the seat position to be appropriate for the occupant, with
adjustment available in most seating components. Postural supports are fitted and
adjusted to suit the individual user. The drive wheels have rubber tyres for grip, and
are foam filled to remove the risk of punctures.
Risks.
When you are planning to take the MUSTANG to a new venue, make sure that you
are aware of steps, rivers, ponds, soft muddy ground and steep slopes. Don’t let the
occupant travel off alone. Always keep near to them to assist them.
The HI-LO facility must only be used on flat level surfaces. It is
possible for the whole unit to tip over on uneven or sloping ground.
Please make sure that the user understands this. Care must also be
taken to ensure that other persons keep clear of the lifting
mechanism
– especially when the seat is being lowered – to avoid
entrapment of fingers etc
Activate, or your dealer, cannot accept liability for accidents arising from dangerous
use of the MUSTANG.
You are now in possession of a piece of equipment that is potentially dangerous, but
will broaden your horizons, and ease the frustration involved in limited mobility
ENJOY YOURSELVES!
