1.0 General safety notes and driving limits
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 streets 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 forwards over a step or up an incline, the body
should be leaning forward.
DANGER!
• NEVER exceed the maximum load of 65 kg 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.
• 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. 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.
• 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.
• Anti-tip tubes should prevent the chair tipping over backwards
unintentionally. Under no circumstances should they take the
place of transit wheels, and be used to transport a person in a
wheelchair with the rear wheels removed.
• With extreme settings (e.g. rear wheels in the most forward
position) and less than perfect posture, the wheelchair may tip
over even on a level surface.
• Lean your upper body further forward when going up slopes and
steps.
• Lean your upper body further back when going down slopes and
steps.
• When using mobility accessories fitted to the wheelchair such
as handbikes, electronic power assist, etc, make sure that your
wheelchair is fitted with the appropriate castor forks, approved for
this use. Please contact your dealer if you have any questions.
• Please note that in certain configurations the wheelchair may
exceed a width of 700 mm. If this is the case, under certain
circumstances, it may not be possible to use some or all of the
available escape routes from a building. It may be more difficult or
impossible to travel on public transport.
