o)

 

Do not leave the wheelchair with the user close to open sources of fire.  

p)

 

Be aware that the surface temperature of the upholstery and the frame parts may be increased 
after exposure to the sun or other heat source. Furthermore, with low temperatures there is a 
danger of overcooling  metal parts  of wheelchair. It may cause burns or frostbite parts of the 
body. 

q)

 

In order to transfer wheelchair, grab the frame. Never transfer the wheelchair by grabbing the 
armrests or footrest. 

r)

 

Never use the wheelchair as a seat for the transportation of people in cars, buses or any motor 
vehicles. 

s)

 

The wheelchair is designed for people up to 125 kg.

Wheelchair must be easy to fold and to unfold. In case of problems with folding, you should 
re-read the instruction or contact the manufacturer. 

u)

 

Keep caution while moving on sloping surfaces. The maximum allowable slope angle up and 
down is 5%. 

v)

 

Brakes cannot be slow down the wheelchair during ride, You should use them only to prevent  
the unintended movements. 

w)

 

Both  brakes  should  be  properly  adjusted.  Incorrect  setting  one  of  the  brakes,  results  with 
blocking only one rear wheel. On large slopes, it can cause difficulty to control the rotation the 
wheelchair around the wheel stopped.  

x)

 

Regularly  check  the  tire  pressure.  With  too  low  tire  pressure  than  recommended,  the  brake 
performance can be significantly reduced! 

y)

 

While reaching objects, avoid excessive leaning out the wheelchair because it can cause a fall 
(to the side, front, back). 

z)

 

In  order  to  avoid  accidental  rolling  off  the  wheelchair,  always  put  on  the  brakes  when  the 
stroller is stopped, when patient get in, get off, while changing the position.  

aa)

 

Do not leave the patient in the wheelchair (even with turned on both brakes) on the descents, 
ramps, landings, etc. 

bb)

 

It is necessary to check after each wheel mount if wheel axle connector lock works properly. 
While  mounting  should  hear    “click”  of  the  latch.  Pull  strongly  the  wheel  to  check  if  it  is 
installed correctly.  

cc)

 

Using the parking brake while driving may result with an accident with all its consequences. 

dd)

 

After each wheelchair adjustment, it is always necessary to check the correct operation of the 
brake. 

ee)

 

Oil, grease, water or other chemicals, may cause that brakes may have reduced effectiveness. 

ff)

 

Strength  of  the  breaking  intensity  may  be  reduced  after  long  exploitation  of  the  wheelchair. 
You  are  allowed  to  adjust  breaks  yourself.  In  order  to  do  that  you  must  loosen  the  screws 
locking the position of the break, move the mechanism of the break towards the wheel so that 
the wheel will not rotate when break will be on again (try the adjustment with the user sitting 
on the wheelchair). After final adjustment secure back the mechanism with the screws.

product parameters. 

hh)

 

Storing the wheelchair in areas with very high humidity (baths, laundry, etc.) or in the open 
air,  also  the  lack  of  hygiene  causes  rapid  loss  of  operating  parameters  and  aesthetic  of  the 
product.

skilled personnel and during the warranty period only by the manufacturer's service.
