Safety-Related Checks And Maintenance Intervals - Thomashilfen Q chassis + ThevoSeat Handbuch

Safety-related checks and maintenance intervals

All operating elements and fastening screws should be checked every month. The telescopic sliding plate should

remain free of dirt and sand.
Please bear in mind that the screws and release handles (hip angle adjustment) should be secured after each

adjustment.
Please observe the following general safety instructions:
When handling Q chassis, especially when setting up, please observe the recommendations in the user manual.

Please keep packaging material away from children to avoid the risk of choking.

We recommend that you adjust the seat depth and lower leg length according to the current body size of your child

at least every 3 months. If necessary, ask your therapist / orthopaedist for assistance.
Please bear in mind to engage the locking device after adjusting the seat height, seat angle, and hip angle.

Please be careful not to catch your fingers when carrying out adjustments.

Be careful not to harm yourself when folding up the footrest or adjusting the seat height.

IMPORTANT: Use the attached Allen key for all adjustments (Allen screw 3mm/0.1").

If you have doubts about the correct use of Q chassis consult your local dealer to avoid incorrect adjustments.

For safety reasons accessories not mentioned in this user manual should be mounted by specialists only.

Please do not overload your Q chassis and observe the maximum load capacity (see technical data).

Only one child should be seated in Q chassis.

Do not leave your child unattended when getting in or off Q chassis. Excessive load of the footrest may lead to

slipping off or tipping.
We recommend that you always secure your child with the 2-point pelvic belt (standard equipment) or another

retention belt (available as an accessory), and never leave the child unattended in Q chassis.
Always lock the brake before placing or removing the child from Q chassis.

Always lock the brake when the chair is stationary to avoid rolling.

Avoid any obstacles in the way of the chair, do not push the chair into them.

ATTENTION: Wet wheels may affect the braking action. When stopping or halting for a longer period of time you

should apply the foot brake to prevent inadvertent rolling.
When lifting Q chassis make sure to hold it at tightly welded or tightly screwed component parts only (frame tube at front

and rear wheels).
Please avoid uneven ground, as this may cause Q chassis to tip over.

Ground beams should be passed over only when the base frame is tilted to stand on the rear wheels (going upwards

– pull backwards, going downwards – lowering slowly).
Stairs must only be taken with the aid of an accompanying person. If available, elevators or similar equipment should

be used. If such equipment is unavailable, the obstacle should be passed with the chair being carried by two persons,
without the child sitting in it.
Please be careful when pushing on slopes to avoid Q chassis tipping over or rolling away, or your child falling out of

the chair.
Parking Q chassis on slopes should be avoided.

From time to time you should wipe off the dirt from the wheels. Use a damp cloth and make sure you dry thoroughly.

Do not use strong solvent.
High solar radiation may lead to high surface temperature on the dark upholstery material.

Do not expose the gas springs to high pressure or temperatures.

Do not loosen or remove any screws unless otherwise stated.

Keep Q chassis away from naked flames.
