CAUTION
Risk of tipping when descending slopes� Especially on slopes, do not drive without braking and
reduce your speed.
Danger as a result of incorrect assembly or settings
CAUTION
Risk of tipping as a result of incorrectly set wheels� Extreme settings (e.g. rear wheels mounted in
the foremost position) combined with an unfavorable body posture can cause the wheelchair to tip even
on level ground. Avoid extreme settings. For transfemoral amputees, the rear wheels must be shifted
backwards. Use of an anti-tipper is required.
CAUTION
Risk of tipping as a result of missing or incorrectly mounted anti-tipper� Under no condition should
the anti-tipper be used as transport wheels, e.g. when wanting to push the wheelchair while the rear
wheels are removed. The anti-tipper must audibly lock in place, before it is able to bear loads. Firm
seating must be verified by the user or by an attendant.
CAUTION
Risk of tipping as a result of changed diameters/mounting positions of the wheels� If the size
and position of the casters or the rear wheel size are modified, the casters may flutter when driving at
higher speeds. This can lead to blocking of the casters and cause the wheelchair to tip over. For this
reason, you should always maintain the factory settings or, if modifications are required, ensure that
the wheelchair frame is aligned horizontally (see "Adjustment / Assembly Instructions").
CAUTION
Risk of falling as a result of unintentional loosening of the rear wheels� Always make sure that the
quick-release axles are correctly set on the rear wheel. The rear wheel must not be removable without
the button of the quick-release axle being depressed.
Danger as a result of improper use of the tires
CAUTION
Accident risk due to insufficient or excessive tire pressure! The effectiveness of the wheel lock and
the overall driving quality are dependent on adequate air pressure. The wheel locks are only effec-
tive with sufficient air pressure and proper adjustment (approx. 5 mm distance, subject to technical
changes).
Before starting to use your mobility base with seating shell, check that the tires are inflated correctly.
The required air pressure is printed on the side of the tire. For rear wheels, it should be at least 7�5 bar
(350 kPa). Properly inflated rear wheel tires and equal air pressure in both tires considerably improve
the maneuverability of your wheelchair.
CAUTION
Risk of accident as a result of bad tires� Insufficient tread depth of the tires reduces adhesion. When
using your wheelchair in public traffic, you are subjected to public traffic regulations.
