USING RAMPS

If you are considering the installation of ramps to overcome obstacles, kindly note the following:
The chair is intended first and foremost to be used inside on level and solid surfaces. Ramps can only
be used if they are smooth and have no bumpy edges and the chair is equipped with four rolling
castors.
l
The use of ramps is impossible while a person is sitting in the chair.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Take note of the following safety hints, depending on the features of the chair:
l
The chair must only be set up on level surfaces.
l
Never cross steps, ledges or other obstacles with a patient seated on the chair.
l
Regularly check that the wheel immobilizers function correctly.
l
Make sure that no objects, barriers or individuals are located in the adjusting area of the back
and leg support.
l
Be careful when using possible causes of fire such as cigarettes since they may set the seat
and back covers alight.
l
Never exceed the maximum load (264.55 lb
l
Never open the gas compression springs: the inside pressure is very high and may result in
injury!
l
If one of the gas compression springs is damaged (if so equipped), stop using the chair
immediately. Contact your specialist dealer and have the necessary repairs done without
delay.
l
Use only genuine and original parts for maintenance work.
