User Manual | Safety Summary
General safety notes and driving restrictions
The engineering and construction of this wheelchair has
been designed to provide maximum safety. International
safety standards currently in force have either been
fulfilled or exceeded in parts. Nevertheless, users may put
themselves at risk by improperly using their wheelchairs.
For your own safety, the following rules must be strictly
observed.
Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments
increase the risk of accident. As a wheelchair user you are
also part of the daily traffic on street and pavements, just
like anyone else. We would like to remind you that you are
therefore also subject to any and all traffic laws.
Be careful during your first ride in this wheelchair.
Get to know your wheelchair.
Before each use, the following should be checked:
• Quick-release axles on the rear wheels.
• Velcro on seats and backrests.
• Tyres, tyre pressure and wheel locks.
Before changing any of the adjustments of this wheelchair,
it is important to read the corresponding section of the
user´s manual.
It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause
this wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding uphill or
downhill. When riding over a step or up an incline frontally,
the body should be leaning forward.
DANGER!
NEVER exceed the maximum load of 125kg for TIGA/TX,
110kg for TIGA Sub4, 80kg for TIGA jnr. for driver plus
any items carried on the wheelchair. Please note the
weight information for lighter weight options, which
are quoted separately. If you exceed the maximum
load, this can lead to damage to the chair, or you may
fall or tip over, lose control and may lead to serious
injury of the user and other people.
Safety Summary
WARNING:
CHOKING HAZARD – This mobility aid uses small parts
which under certain circumstances may present a choking
hazard to young children.
• If and whenever possible, during a journey in a
specially fitted vehicle for disabled people, vehicle
occupants should use the seats in the vehicle and
the appropriate restraint system. This is the only way
to ensure that occupants will have the maximum
protection if there is an accident.
• To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first
practice using your new wheelchair on level ground
with good visibility.
• This wheelchair should be used exclusively to convey
one person at a time. Any other use does not comply
with the intended purpose.
• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the
footboards. These should be flipped up beforehand
and swung to the outside as far as possible.
• Depending on the diameter and setting of the
castors, as well as the centre of gravity setting of the
wheelchair, the castors may begin to wobble at high
speeds. This can lead to the castors being blocked and
the wheelchair may tip over. Therefore, please make
sure that the castors are adjusted correctly (see the
Chapter “Castors”).
• In particular, do not travel on an incline without
brakes, travel at a reduced speed. This product
has been tested to a maximum speed of 10 kph. At
higher speeds, depending on the configuration and/or
physique/physical capabilities of the user, there may
be unexpected castor wobble. This can lead to injury of
the user.
• Riding sideways on to a slope or incline, increases the
possibility of the wheelchair tipping over sideways.
• Explore the effects of changing the centre of gravity
on the behaviour of the wheelchair, for example on
inclines, slopes, all gradients or when overcoming
obstacles. Do this with the secure aid of a helper.
• We recommend that novice users use anti-tip tubes.
