20.3 Safety instructions
The anti-tipping supports are designed
exclusively to minimise the risk of tipping over
backwards. They are not suitable for reducing
the risk of tipping forwards or to the side. There
is no safety equipment on offer for minimizing
these risks. For this reason, handling these
risks need to be learnt in cooperation with your
therapists and doctors.
Before using the product, each time after
loading the anti-tipping supports and after
every adjustment to the product, make sure
that the anti-tipping supports are fully func-
tional. In this case the anti-tipper in operating
position must not allow itself to be pushed
away to the side without undoing it from its
locked position (cylindrical pin in groove).
The lower edge of the anti-tipping wheels
may not be more than 5
cm from the ground. If
a larger gap is required or necessary, then you
need to work with your therapists and doctors
to practice and learn to handle the increased
risk of tipping.
If the functional capability of the anti-tip-
ping supports is no longer ensured or if you are
in any doubt about their flawless function, have
them checked by your rehabilitation specialist
dealer and repaired before any further use.
Otherwise there is an increased risk or falling
of getting injured.
