ATTENTION
After a collision, contact your rehab service station
to check the carriage, frame and Bowden cables
and have the damages fixed.
�
INDICATATON
Avoid direct sunrays. Dark parts on the wheelchair
can heat quickly and can possibly cause burns.
ATTENTION
FIRE RISK from the textile parts (seat shell and
back covering, seat cushion or plastic parts). Keep
sources of ignition away from the wheelchair.
ATTENTION
Hand rims heat up from strong friction especially
from braking while driving fast or from driving
downhill for a while.
�
INDICATION
For sensitive skin we recommend to wear gloves as
used for cycling (finger stalls with a leather inner
surface---but NEVER wool gloves).
ATTENTION
RISK OF HAND INJURY from turning parts. Do not
grab in between the spokes of the rear wheel or
between the rear wheel and the knee lever brake.
ATTENTION
Do not use the wheelchair in damp rooms or drive
in salt water with it. Important parts may corrode
and not work properly anymore, whereby the driving
qualities or the lifespan of the wheelchair are
negatively influenced.
ATTENTION
The position of the rear wheels in the axle plate can
only be changed by a qualified specialty store! It
influences the focus (tilt ability) and the functionality
of the knee lever brake.
ATTENTION
Do not put your fingers between the hand rims and
the rear wheels. (Grooved wheels with built in hand
rims make this impossible.)
ATTENTION
Be cautious by tight spots: You can bruise your
fingers (4) and/or damage the hand rims.
ATTENTION
From braking with the hand rims, heat occurs
through friction. If necessary, use leather gloves as
used for cycling.
ATTENTION
Regularly check the screwing and the secure position
of the hand rims according to the maintenance plan.
ATTENTION
Regularly check the secure position of the spokes
according to the maintenance plan.
ATTENTION
From strong sunrays, the wheels can heat up to 42°
and you could burn yourself.
