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 85 kg for driver and

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.

• Only permanently installed seats and safety belts will offer

sufficient protection in hazardous situations.

• 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.

DANGER!

• 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.

• Do not hang heavy items such as shopping bags or

backpacks, on the push handles, head rest or backrest of

the wheelchair.

• These can change the tipping point and there is a risk of

tipping backwards.

• When reaching for objects (which are in front of, to the side

or behind the wheelchair) make sure that you do not lean

too far out of the wheelchair, as if you change the centre of

gravity there is a risk of tipping or rolling over.

• Only use your wheelchair properly. For example, avoid

travelling against an obstacle without braking (step, kerb

edge) or dropping down gaps.

• Only attempt stairs with the help of an attendant. There is

equipment available to help you, e.g. climbing ramps or lifts,

please use them. If there is no such equipment available,

then the wheelchair must be tipped and pushed, never

carried, over the steps (2 helpers).

• In general, any anti-tip tubes fitted must be set beforehand,

so that they cannot touch the steps, as otherwise this could

lead to a serious tumble. Afterwards the anti-tip tubes must

be set back to their correct position.

• Make sure that the attendant only holds the wheelchair

using securely mounted parts (e.g. not on the footrests or

the sideguards).

• When using the lifting ramp make sure that the anti-tip

tubes fitted are positioned outside the danger area.

• Secure your wheelchair on uneven ground or when

transferring (e.g. into a car) by using the wheel locks.

• For thigh amputees you must use anti-tip tubes.

• Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is correct.

For rear wheels it should be at least 3.5 bar (350 kPa). The

max. pressure is indicated on the tyre. The knee-lever

brakes will only work if there is sufficient tyre pressure and if

the correct setting has been made (see the Chapter on

“Wheel locks”). The wheel locks are not intended to brake

your wheelchair. They are only there to ensure that your

wheelchair does not begin rolling unintentionally. When you

stop on uneven ground, you should always use the wheel

locks to prevent such rolling. Always apply both wheel

locks; otherwise, your wheelchair could tip over.
