User manual Kika
4 General Handling
The following indications on the operation of
Kika in everyday life are directed to you as a
user of the wheelchair and are supposed to
help you to use the individual functions of the
technical parts safely, competently and
conventionally so you can profit from your
wheelchair for a long time.
Please read the following indications on
operation carefully and mind the suggestions
on daily usage of your wheelchair.
4.1 Getting in and out
When getting in or out, please make sure that
the locking brakes are tightened.
Have an assistant turn the casters forwards or
drive backwards until the casters turn
forwards; then close the locking brakes. This
provides your wheelchair with extra safety from
tipping when getting in or out.
Please avoid stepping on the foot rest because
that might make your wheelchair tip forwards.
Do never lean on the clothing guard or the
brake lever/-buttons inside the clothing guard
when getting in or out for it may break.
To get in or out, you best lean on the handrims
with both hands or as centric on the seat as
possible.
Please familiarise yourself with the limits of
your wheelchair right from the beginning by
– essentially, in presence of an experienced
assistant! – carefully leaning towards all
directions and perhaps holding a heavy
object with your outstretched hand and
concentrating on the point where the
wheelchair starts tipping.
Please note that changes of the
wheelchair’s centre of gravity bring about
different conditions. Familiarise yourself
with them through appropriate tests –
again, only in the presence of an assistant!
In the long run, you can only prevent
dangers that you are well aware of!
