an accompanying person must compen-

Crossing obstacles
After having overcome stairs, support cas-
tors that were previously removed need
to be mounted again resp. support cas-
tors that were swivelled to the side, swiv-
elled back into place.
Each crossing of obstacles involves a risk!
Even flat obstacles (e.g. sills, carpet edges,
small steps or similar) represent a danger of
tipping.
The crossing of obstacles is a special dan-
ger situation in which a combination of the
safety advice in the sections headed uphill
driving, downhill driving and driving trans-
verse to a slope must be observed in addi-
tion to other safety advice.
For your own safety all obstacles should
only be driven over with an accompany-
ing person. The pedal tube is to be used as
support for each manual tilting of the multi-
function and bearing wheelchair.
The unassisted, safe, crossing of small ob-
stacles (< 4 cm) is only possible with a suffi-
ciently safe control of the multifunction and
bearing wheelchair.
Always approach small obstacles, e.g. steps
or curbs, slowly and at a right angle (90°)
until the steering wheels almost touch the
obstacle. Briefly stop the multifunction and
bearing wheelchair and then drive over the
obstacle.
Always drive over an obstacle forwards (not
backwards) and simultaneously with both
front/rear wheels in order to prevent a side-
ways tipping of the multifunction and bear-
ing wheelchair.
Always maintain a safety distance between
the wheelchair and drops, stairs and similar
obstacles sufficient for reaction, braking and
turning.
If possible, let one or more helpers lift you
out of the multifunction and bearing wheel-
chair and carry you to the destination point.
The crossing of stairs is only possible with
the assistance of two helpers who are fa-
miliar with the danger situation and firmly
guide the multifunction and bearing wheel-
chair.
☞
The helpers may only hold (without
lifting) the multifunction and bearing
wheelchair with the push handles and
the side frame.
Existing tilting protectors are to be removed,
since they might pose a danger to the aid
under certain circumstances.
Loading the wheelchair
Do not use the leg supports, arm sup-
ports or accessory parts in order to lift the
multifunction and bearing wheelchair!
Before lifting, the multifunction and bear-
ing wheelchair is to be secured against
unintentional rolling motions!
☞
Therefore observe chapter Brake on
page 12.
The parts detached for loading must be
carefully stowed and carefully attached
again before the next journey.
The weight of the multifunction and bear-
ing wheelchair is reduced when you re-
move detachable components.
The multifunction and bearing wheelchair
can be also loaded with the aid of ramps or
lifting platforms.
☞
Therefore observe the respective
user manual and the load capacity
of the ramp resp. lifting platform.
