CAUTION
Incorrect centre of gravity
Tipping over, overturning due to incorrect centre of gravity
► When reaching for objects, the user must not lean too far out of the seat.
► Put the back support into neutral position (0–5°) before negotiating slopes and obstacles on slopes or ramps.
► Always provide support to the rear when negotiating slopes and obstacles on slopes or ramps.
► Hold the product tightly by the push handles with both hands when driving on inclines and downgrades. Oth­
erwise, the rehab buggy could tip over sideways when driving diagonally on a slope or roll away when driving
on downgrades.
► Never park the product on slopes with the user in the seat.
CAUTION
Improper loading
Tipping over, falling of the user due to shift in centre of gravity
► Please note that any additional load may have a negative impact on the stability of the rehab buggy.
► Do not hang heavy bags or the like on the push bar/push handles.
CAUTION
Incorrect centre of gravity setting
Falling of the user due to extreme settings
► Check the standard adjustments of the rehab buggy for stability against tipping and the ergonomically correct
sitting position of the user. Avoid any extreme settings.
CAUTION
Risky operation
Falling, tipping over backwards due to approaching obstacles incorrectly
► Push slowly when crossing obstacles (e.g. steps, curbs) and negotiating uphill or downhill slopes and
inclines.
► Never cross obstacles at an angle. Always approach obstacles head on (at an angle of 90°).
► Raise the front wheels before crossing obstacles.
► Avoid collisions with obstacles and dropping off curbs/ledges.
► Avoid riding cross-country.
Hazards when overcoming obstacles
WARNING
Overcoming steps and obstacles without assistance
Tipping over, falling of the user due to failure to observe transportation instructions
► Always have accompanying persons help you negotiate steps and other obstacles.
► Use available facilities (e.g. access ramps or lifts).
CAUTION
Improper lifting by attendants
Tipping over, falling of the user due to lifting by removable components
► Attendants may lift the buggy only by welded or permanently attached components (e.g. front frame tube
above the front wheels, rear axle).
► It is particularly dangerous to lift the buggy by the unfixed push handle/push bar.
