10. Sliding handles
The sliding handles of all our wheelchairs have black handle caps at their end made
out of PVC. Those are connected firmly with the sliding rod. In unfavourable
circumstances however, the caps may loosen themselves from the tube – eg. in
cases of heat, humidity or extreme strain.
With insistence we have to warn you:
Never use the sliding handle caps to roll off an occupied wheelchair over an obstacle,
or even worse - on stairs! For this, always use parts which are firmly fixed onto the frame
and make sure that another person is safeguarding the action.
10.1 Extendable sliding handles (as option)
In order to modify the sliding handle’s height, loosen the
clamping levers with only one revolution, otherwise the
clamping levers may be unscrewed much too far from
the counterparts in the inner tube. Always take care that
the clamping levers are properly re-tightened after you
have finished adjusting the sliding handles in order to
ensure a reliable handling. Do not hang bags or other
objects on the sliding handles – increased danger of
overturning.
10.2 Sliding clamp (as option, see p.16)
The sliding clamp is a sliding aid for the accompanying
person and only serves this purpose! For adjusting its
angle, loosen both star grips and get the clamp in the
required position. Afterwards, re-tighten the star screws.
Safety precaution:
Never use the extendable sliding handles, nor the
sliding clamp, nor the stabilizing rod to roll off an
occupied wheelchair over an obstacle, or even worse -
on stairs! For this, always use parts which are firmly fixed
onto the frame and make sure that another person is safeguarding the action.
