4. Safety precautions
When developing and manufacturing our wheelchairs, we set great store by safety. In
order to maintain this high quality of safety in everyday life, it is in your own and your
child’s interest to carefully pay attention to the following rules. Improper use could
cause a hazardous situation to you and your child and our assurance of warranty
would no longer be valid.
Viele Sicherheitsaspekte wiederholen wir in dieser Gebrauchsanweisung nahezu
"gebetsmühlenartig". Wenn Sie aber die Gebrauchsanweisung sorgfältig gelesen
haben, werden Sie die Gründe gut nachvollziehen können, denn wir wollen, dass Sie
und/oder Ihr Kind sich wirklich absolut sicher fühlen können im neuen Siro.
Die folgende Vorgehensweise, um ggf. Ihr Kind mit dem neuen Rollstuhl vertraut zu
machen, gilt natürlich in modifizierter Form auch für erwachsene Benutzer. Aber aus
Gründen der Einfachheit beschreiben wir die Situationen im Folgenden immer aus der
Perspektive eines (sehr) jungen Benutzers.
Familiarizing with Siro II
•
Take your time to familiarize yourself and your child with the new situation. Be
very patient and use caution to make sure that your child will feel safe in its new
wheelchair. Because Muby is an activity-wheelchair whose limits you’ll have to
get to know. You should really let your child undergo these limits quite literally.
Make sure that during the following steps both of you are safeguarded by an
experienced and strong assistant!
• Lock the parking brakes and the drum brake and put your child into Siro II.
•
Carefully practise the wheelchair’s behaviour on shifting the centre of gravity in
all 4 directions! Make your child reach for objects, holding them further and
further.
•
Sensitize your child for these changed situations and ask if something changes,
and what exactly. And do not forget to express clearly that you will now intensify
the situation.
• In any case, this must all be practised without fear. Do not force the learning
process!
• Only after your child has been familiarized with the wheelchair’s static stability in
its standstill position, you should risk trying out the wheeling behaviour.
• Children soon understand how to drive a wheelchair, it nearly is an automaticity.
The process of braking down however, needs thorough practice because it is
dangerous! Tell your child in clear terms that the knee lever brake is NOT
designed for braking down the wheelchair’s speed and that it may fall out of the
chair.
