Quickie Life Rev.4.0
•
Depending on the diameter and setting of the castors, as
well as the centre of gravity setting of the wheelchair, the
castors may begin to wobble at high speeds. This can lead
to the castors being blocked and the wheelchair may tip
over. Therefore, please make sure that the castors are
adjusted correctly (see the Chapter “Castors”). In particular,
do not travel on an incline without brakes, travel at a
reduced speed. We recommend that novice users use anti-
tip tubes.
•
Anti-tip tubes should prevent the chair tipping over
backwards unintentionally. Under no circumstances should
they take the place of transit wheels, and be used to
transport a person in a wheelchair with the rear wheels
removed.
•
When reaching for objects (which are in front of, to the side
or behind the wheelchair) make sure that you do not lean
too far out of the wheelchair, as if you change the centre of
gravity there is a risk of tipping or rolling over. The hanging
of additional load (back pack or similar items) onto your
chair backposts can affect the rearward stability of your
chair, especially when used in combination with recliner
backrests. This can cause the chair to tip backwards
causing injury.
•
For thigh amputees you must use anti-tip tubes.
•
Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is correct.
For rear wheels it should be at least 3.5 bar ( 350 kPa).
The max. pressure is indicated on the tyre. The knee-lever
brakes will only work if there is sufficient tyre pressure and
if the correct setting has been made (see the Chapter on
“Brakes”).
•
If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must replace
them immediately.
•
Be careful with fire, in particular with burning cigarettes.
Seat and back slings can be set alight.
•
If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight for a long
period of time, then parts of the wheelchair (e.g. frame,
legrests, brakes and sideguard) may become hot (>41°C).
•
Always make sure that the quick-release axles on the rear
wheels are set properly and lock in. If the button on the
quick-release axle is not pressed in, the rear wheel cannot
be removed.
WARNING !
•
The effect of the knee-lever brake as well as the general
driving characteristics are dependant on tyre pressure. The
wheelchair is significantly lighter and easier to manoeuvre
when the rear wheels are pumped up correctly and both
wheels have the same pressure.
•
Make sure that your tyres have sufficient tread! Please note
that you are subject to any and all traffic laws when driving
in public traffic.
•
Always be careful with your fingers when working or
adjusting the wheelchair!
