Cleaning and maintenance
To clean the wheel chair simply use water and if
wished a mild cleanser. You can remove tough dirt
by using a car cleanser. No water should enter the
wheel chair tubes during the cleaning process which
is why it should only be cleaned in a fully mounted
position. If needed, have your wheel chair checked
and maintained by a professional or replace a worn
out one with a new one. Make sure to contact your
specialist dealer when you find any defects while
checking the braking force on a regular basis. It is
not permitted to operate the wheelchair without
professional maintenance.
Do the following maintenance work on a regular
basis:
- Check the wheels of wear out every four weeks.
- Check the tightness of the wheelchairs bolted
connections every six months.
- Lubricate the rods every eight weeks with sewing
machine oil.
- Seawater, de-icing salt and sand damage the bea-
ring and the steering gear of the wheel chair. After
the wheelchair comes in touch with the mentioned
things make sure to clean it with fresh water.
Common security advice
Only use the wheel chair if it is in flawless condition.
Improper use of the wheel chair can put the user in
danger. For your own safety we strongly suggest you
to follow the following regulations:
- Unprofessional or missing adjustments can increa-
se the risk of accidents.
- We would like to point out to you that you are part
of the public road traffic as a wheelchair user and
therefore you must follow the road traffic act.
- Wear light colored clothes in darkness.
- When driving the first time be very careful to
adjust to the wheelchairs shift of emphasis impact.
- Exercise caution when driving on even grounds,
inclines and declines.
- The handbrake is not meant to slow down the
wheelchair while driving!!! It is only meant for un-
wanted rolling away while standing. If you stop on
uneven ground make sure to use both handbrakes.
The wheel chair can tilt over if you only use one of
the handbrakes.
- If available use ramps and elevators. In case there
are no ramps or elevators on your way you should
take an assistant with you to reach your destination.
The assistant may only hold onto the wheelchairs
frame parts. It is not allowed to lift up the wheel-
chair with somebody sitting in it - make sure to roll
it.
- Before you start always sure to check the rods on
the drive wheels, the velcro of the seat and backrest,
the wheel possibly the air pressure of the wheels as
well as the brakes.
- The maximum load weight is 125 kg.
- The wheel chair serves exclusively as transpor-
tation of people sitting on the seat. Another use is
considered to be improper.
- It is not allowed to use the wheelchair while riding
a bus or train! Only the seats of the bus or train give
enough protection in dangerous situations.
- It is important to read the right part of the instruc-
tion manual if you wish to make any changes to the
wheelchairs adjustments.
- Especially when driving up inclines or driving
down declines, road holes or uneven areas which
can cause the wheel chair to tilt over. It is
advisable to lean forward if going over a step or
while driving up an incline.
- It is only recommended to use the wheel chair on
solid ground.
- The wheel chair is not meant as support to lift
yourself up from a squatting or sitting position.
- The wheels of the wheelchair can get stuck if used
on uneven grounds like grooves or grids. Try to
avoid this kind of obstacle.
- Activate the handbrake if parking the wheelchair.
This avoids unintended rolling away of the wheel-
chair.
- Make sure to only put weight on the seat from
above!
- Worn out wheels can affect the braking force of the
wheelchair. This is why you should make sure that
the braking force of the brakes is in a good working
condition.
- Slip hazard on wet, dirty, iced or snow covered
ground! This causes a severely limited braking force.
Adjust your handling to these dangers.
- Even if all moveable parts have been removed the
wheel chair still has a weight of 10 kg. This is why
a lift should only be done in a folded condition by
grabbing the handles and front frame.
