DANGER!
Do not ascend or descend stairs without the assistance of attendants. Make use
of ramps or elevators whenever available. If wheelchair-friendly access is missing,
two attendants must carry the wheelchair over the obstacle.
If only one attendant is available, he or she must adjust the anti-tipper (if mounted)
such that it does not come in the way of the steps during transport. Failure to observe
this precaution can lead to severe falls. Afterwards, the anti-tipper should be swung
back to its operational position.
DANGER!
Advise attendants to lift your wheelchair only by parts that are firmly attached (e.g.
not at the footrest or the flip-up side panels).
DANGER!
If your wheelchair is equipped with height-adjustable push handles, ensure that the
clamping levers are firmly tightened.
DANGER!
When using lifting platforms, ensure that the anti-tipper is outside the danger-
area.
DANGER!
Engage the wheel locks to prevent the wheelchair from moving on uneven ground or
during transfers (e.g. into a car).
DANGER!
Before starting your wheelchair, check the tires for proper inflation levels. The required
air pressure is printed on the side of the tire. For rear wheels, it should be at least
3.5 bar (350 kPa). The wheel locks are only effective with sufficient air pressure and
proper adjustment (approx. 4 mm distance, subject to technical changes).
DANGER!
For transfemoral amputees, the rear wheels must be shifted backwards.
ATTENTION!
If your seat and back upholstery become worn out or damaged, replace it promptly.
With a new seat upholstery you will automatically receive new lamellar plugs for the
seat tube which you should replace for the previously used, old lamellar plugs.
DANGER!
Use caution near flammables or fire, especially lit cigarettes. The seat and backrest
upholstery might catch fire.
DANGER!
To avoid hand injuries, do not grasp between the rear wheel and the wheel lock
when driving your wheelchair.
DANGER!
