The wheelchair is intended for people with walking difficulties or no walking abilities. 

The wheelchair is designed to transport 1 person. 

The wheelchair is suited for indoor and outdoor use. 

The user can propel the wheelchair by himself or have the wheelchair pushed by an 
attendant.

persons disabled by: 

  paralysis

Your wheelchair should only be used on surfaces where all four wheels are touching the

You should practice for use on uneven surfaces (cobblestones, etc.), slopes, curves and to 
get past obstacles (curbs, etc.).

damaged. 

Use only Vermeiren approved accessories. 

The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by the lack of or improper service or as a 
result of not following instructions from this manual. 

Compliance with the user and maintenance instructions are an essential part of the 
guarantee conditions.
