Independent Moving And Applying The Brakes - Tomtar Libra Gebrauchsanleitung

Independent moving and applying the brakes

Practice safe handling of your new wheelchair on a flat surface with the
assistance of an aide, until you get accustomed to it. You may only
participate in public traffic with sufficient travelling experience. Be especially
careful when moving on inclined surfaces and when overcoming obstacles.
The wheelchair is set in motion and
slowed down via the push rim.
To move the wheelchair ahead, put
your hand on the push rim, whereas
only your thumb and bent index
finger touch the push rim.
The other fingers are closed to a fist
and do not touch the push rim.
To slow down, let the push rim glide
between your thumb and bent index
finger and slow it down with a
tightening grip until the wheelchair
comes to a stop.
Caution!
When moving the wheelchair, make sure that you do not touch the
top of the tyre with your thumb.
Danger of getting jammed between tyre and side part/arm rest!
