Unlink The Twist From The Wheelchair While Keeping The Handlebar Installed - Klaxon TWIST Gebrauchsanleitung

11.4 UNLINK THE TWIST FROM THE WHEELCHAIR WHILE KEEPING THE HANDLEBAR INSTALLED

It is very dangerous to perform the operation of removing the handlebar from the TWIST if
the control is on. Make sure the Handlebar Control is deactivated.
Make sure there are no other controls switched on when switching off the Handlebar Control.
Follow the instructions carefully to prevent the handlebar from hitting the user violently
during the unlinking operations.
When unlinking the TWIST, the handlebar must always be held with one hand.
The TWIST with the handlebar engaged may under no circumstances be installed and
uninstalled using only one hand. Always use two hands, one of which must always hold the
handlebar.
Always carry out the unlinking operation on a flat surface and if possible with the wheels of
the wheelchair and of the TWIST lying on a smooth surface.
Stand with the wheelchair on a flat and smooth surface on which the wheelchair can stop without having
to engage the wheelchair brakes. Caution: with the wheelchair brakes engaged, the operation cannot be
performed.
Make sure the Handlebar Control is switched off.
Turn the handlebar and then the TWIST by 180° until the front light of the TWIST is facing the wheelchair
(Figure 88).
Make sure the wheelchair brakes are not engaged.
With one hand push the handlebar forward with the palm placed in the centre of the handlebar and with
the other hand lift the lever (Figure 60 Letter B) on the Front Hook 2.0 Klaxon®. At this point the weight of
the user will release the Front Hook 2.0 Klaxon® from the lower pin and the wheels of the wheelchair will
lower to the ground (Figure 89). Accompany the lowering with the hand so that the TWIST does not drop
lower abruptly.
This operation must be carried out only by a user with the complete control over both its
hands and who must have sufficient motor skills to perform the action described.
There is a risk of injury if the handlebar descent is not accompanied correctly during the
unlinking phase.
