Safety notes

In order to avoid toppling and dangerous situations, you should practice safe
handling of your new wheelchair on a flat and familiar surface. In such case,
an assistant is recommended.
 Never leave children and youngsters unattended in the wheelchair.
 Prior to using the wheelchair, please check whether all parts attached
have been fastened properly.
 The first attempts at moving the wheelchair should take place on a level
and manageable surface. Familiarise yourself intensively with the
braking and driving behaviour of the wheelchair when moving straight
ahead and turning corners.
 Please note that padded parts can become hot in direct sunlight and
lead to skin injury on contact. Therefore, cover these parts or protect
the wheelchair from direct sunlight.
 The wheelchair may not be misused for transporting several persons or
loads. Observe the specific function of the wheelchair.
 Never use your wheelchair while under the influence of alcohol or other
substances that may influence your ability to react or your physical and
mental receptiveness.
 Please note that redistribution of weight due to body movements or
loading the wheelchair can increase the risk of tipping over.
 By all means, use ramps to avoid obstacles.
 Cross grooves, tracks and similar impassibilities in a right angle (90°), if
you cannot move around them.
 There is a danger of tipping over to the rear starting at an angle of 10°.
 Avoid wheeling against obstacles (steps, kerbs) at full speed or moving
down steps.
 Never stand on the foot plates to get in and out.
 Take note of a sufficient profile depth of your tyres (>1mm).
 Observe the road traffic regulations when on the road.
 If possible, wear bright, noticeable clothes. You will then be seen better
by other traffic participants.
 Do not use high-pressure cleaning devices or harsh, corrosive
chemicals to clean the wheelchair!
