until the rear wheels touch the street, after it has driv-
en over the obstacle. Then he/she gradually lowers the
steering wheels to the ground.
Getting over stairs:
Since it is diffi cult to get over stairs, we recommend get-
ting assistance from two attendants, one in front of the
wheelchair and one behind the wheelchair.
The attendant positioned behind the wheelchair tilts it
until it is balanced. Then he/she holds it against the fi rst
stair, gripping the handle fi rmly to help lift the wheelchair.
The attendant who is positioned in front of the wheel-
chair holds the front lateral frame fi rmly and lifts the chair
over the stairs while the other person places one foot on
the next stair and repeats the fi rst step.
Do not lower the steering wheels of the wheelchair until
the attendant positioned in front of the wheelchair has
crossed the last stair.
Traveling on inclines
We recommend avoiding ramps with an incline of more
than 9°. In the case of larger inclines, there is a risk of
tipping over if the wheels spin or when approaching an
incline at an oblique angle.
Going up ramps:
Lean your upper body forward and operate the hand rims
with rapid pushes to reach the proper speed. If you want
to stop to rest along the way, the two brakes must be op-
erated simultaneously.
Going down ramps:
Lean your upper body backwards and let the hand rims
slide through your hands, ensuring that you can control
the speed and direction. Avoid sudden direction chang-
es, never attempt to ascend or descend a ramp diago-
nally, and do not attempt to turn the wheelchair when
ascending The wheelchair is not suitable as a seat for
driving a vehicle.
Take note of the permitted maximum weight of the user.
This information can be found in the technical data in these
instructions for use as well as on the identifi cation plate.
Protect the rollator from direct sunlight.
Product parts can become hot and cause skin injuries if
touched.
