Before you start using your wheelchair please make sure
that all parts are well secured.
In order to avoid any accidents and dangerous situations
practice using your wheelchair on flat and clear ground. It
is recommended to have a companion in this case.
The wheelchair must not be misused to transport more
than one person or to carry any loads. Pay attention to its
purpose.
Never use the wheelchair under the influence of alcohol or
other drugs which affect your concentration or physical
and mental perceptive faculty.
Please observe that by shifting the balance through body
movements or by loading the wheelchair, the risk of
tipping over can be increased.
Please observe that the upholstered parts which have
directly been in contact with sunrays are heated and can
cause injuries to your skin. Therefore you should cover
these parts or keep your wheelchair out of the reach of
sunrays.
For rides outdoors you should wear leather gloves. They
increase your grip and at the same time protect your
hands from dirt and injuries.
Be careful when setting up your wheelchair and pay atten-
tion to your fingers. There is a danger of trapping your
finger. Look at the chapter referring to unfolding your
wheelchair.
