plug-in axles have been thoroughly tightened.
•
Your child may never use the foot rest(s) or leg supports for getting in or out the
wheelchair. The chair may turn over forewards.
•
Lock the parking brake each time your child gets in or out the wheelchair.
•
If possible, always use the supporting wheel. Especially when wheeling on
gradients or slopes, on uneven territory or thresholds, the danger of turning over
is really high.
•
When wheeling in public traffic, keep in mind that you must act according to
Road Traffic Act. In order to avoid accidents, you should always control if the
reflectors are tidy and both of you should wear bright colours to be well seen.
•
The wheelchair may not be carried together with its occupant but may only be
wheeled.
•
When transporting the wheelchair in a vehicle, your child may only sit in the chair
as the chair is fixed onto the required devices. (see handling – transporting the
wheelchair
p.16).
•
Have the wheelchair serviced regularly by a qualified medical service centre. It
is necessary to examine if all screws are properly tightened, if welded joints show
any damage and if signs of wear can be detected.
•
Your child should get over steps and stairs only with an assistant. Take care that
the supporting wheel is swung in and that the assistant(s) always uses the fixedly
screwed metal parts of the wheelchair for carrying, because the sliding handles’
rubber caps may unexpectedly come off and cause serious accidents!
•
In order to avoid injuries, your child should not take its hand between the driving
wheels and knee lever brake or wheel cover.
•
Do not wheel on gradients over 4°; meaning ca. 7%. The danger of overturning
increases on gradients over 4°.
•
An occupied wheelchair should never be left unsupervised on a slope, not even
with locked knee lever brake.
•
With an active (swung out) supporting wheel, the max. critical obstacle height is
ca. 3 cm.
•
The max. useful vehicle load capacity is 100 kg. The standard frame is not
equipped for more weight.
