Risk of skin damage
CAUTION
Possible complications in case of unhealthy skin� Using the wheelchair with unhealthy skin can cause
medically indicated complications such as reddening of the skin and pressure sores. Over several hours
of use, the skin on the buttocks, back and rear thighs is subjected to considerable strain. Therefore,
always check these areas carefully before using the wheelchair.
No liability will be assumed for health injuries caused by use of this wheelchair with damaged skin.
Danger caused by fire/heat and cold
CAUTION
Risk of burns when near to fire. The seat and back upholstery may catch fire. Keep the wheelchair
away from all sources of ignition, especially lit cigarettes.
CAUTION
Be careful in case of extreme temperatures� The wheelchair can heat up significantly due to solar
radiation or in the sauna. In extreme cold, there is a risk of hypothermia.
Risk of hand injuries
CAUTION
Risk of hand injuries� To avoid hand injuries, do not grasp between the rear wheel and the wheel lock
when driving your wheelchair.
CAUTION
Risk of pinching between wheelchair components� The wheel lock lever and the side or frame sec-
tions can represent a risk of crushing with various adjustment options.
CAUTION
Risk of friction burns� Slowing down from high speeds or when descending longer slopes tends to
heat up the hands and fingers, especially if using aluminum push rings. When using your wheelchair
outdoors, wear leather gloves. Gloves provide you with a better grip and protect your fingers from dirt
and hot metal.
