Caution! The electromagnetic brake is disabled in
this mode.
Please note that operating the wheelchair in push
mode by uncoupling the drive mechanism will deac-
tivate the electro-magnetic brakes. The wheelchair
should therefore only be used on level ground in this
mode. Non-observance may lead to life-threatening
situations.
Caution! Always use both drives in the same position
(accident hazard).
Caution! Danger of fatal injury! The drives must only
be unlocked on level ground.
6.17. Head rest (optional)
The wheelchair can be equipped with an optional head rest. The settings
for the version with the comfort seat are described below; the settings of
the standard version are analogous.
• You can easily adapt the height of the head rest by pulling out the
push button (fig. 49) and moving the head rest to the desired height.
The push button latches in automatically and audibly.
• The position of the head rest can be adjusted and adapted to your
needs by loosening the lever screws. Then retighten the lever screws.
6.18. Kerb climber (optional)
The kerb climber (fig. 50) makes it easier for you to negotiate steps of up
to 100 mm.
Using the kerb climber requires a bit of skill and practice. Practice using
the kerb climber initially on manageable terrain with an accompanying
person.
Follow all safety instructions of the wheelchair when using the kerb clim-
ber.
Caution: risk of falls! Always drive directly at the kerb.
Approaching it at an angle can lead to accidents.
It is preferable to use ramps to surmount obstacles.
Only use the kerb climber if there are no ramps availa-
ble to you.
