Safety-related checks and maintenance intervals

All operating elements and fastening screws should be checked every month. The telescopic sliding plate should
è
remain free of dirt and sand.
Please bear in mind that the screws and release handles etc. should be secured after each adjustment.
è
Please observe the following general safety instructions:
When handling ThevoTwist, especially when setting up, please observe the recommendations in the user manual.
è
Please keep packaging material away from children to avoid the risk of choking.
è
We recommend that you adjust the seat depth and lower leg length according to the current body size of your child
è
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.
è
Please be careful not to catch your fingers when carrying out adjustments.
è
Be careful not to harm yourself when folding up the footrest or adjusting the seat height.
è
IMPORTANT: Use the attached Allen key for all adjustments (Allen screw 3mm/0.1").
è
If you have doubts about the correct use of ThevoTwist consult your local dealer to avoid incorrect adjustments.
è
For safety reasons accessories not mentioned in this user manual should be mounted by specialists only.
è
Please do not overload your ThevoTwist and observe the maximum load capacity (see technical data).
è
Do not leave your child unattended when getting in or off ThevoTwist. Excessive load of the footrest may lead to
è
slipping off or tipping.
We recommend that you always secure your child with the 2-point pelvic belt (standard equipment) or another
è
retention belt (available as an accessory), and never leave the child unattended in ThevoTwist.
Always lock the brake before placing or removing the child from ThevoTwist.
è
Always lock the brake when the chair is stationary to avoid rolling.
è
Avoid any obstacles in the way of the chair, do not push the chair into them.
è
ATTENTION: Wet or flat wheels may affect the braking action. When stopping or halting for a longer period of time
è
you should apply the foot brake to prevent inadvertent rolling.
When lifting ThevoTwist make sure to hold it at tightly welded or tightly screwed component parts only (frame tube at
è
front and rear wheels).
Please avoid uneven ground, as this may cause ThevoTwist to tip over.
è
Ground beams should be passed over only when the base frame is tilted to stand on the rear wheels (going upwards
è
– pull backwards, going downwards – lowering slowly).
Wearing reflective clothing will increase your and your child's visibility to other road users in the dark.
è
Attaching heavy bags or string bags increase the danger of tilting. Use the basket in the J / A underframe.
è
Please be careful when pushing on slopes to avoid ThevoTwist tipping over or rolling away, or your child falling out
è
of the chair.
Parking ThevoTwist on slopes should be avoided.
è
From time to time you should wipe off the dirt from the wheels. Use a damp cloth and make sure you dry thoroughly.
è
Do not use strong solvent.
High solar radiation may lead to high surface temperature on the dark upholstery material.
è
Do not expose the gas springs to high pressure or temperatures.
è
Do not loosen or remove any screws unless otherwise stated.
è
Keep ThevoTwist away from naked flames.
è
Only one child should be transported in the rehabilitation stroller.
