ENGLISH
• The wheel locks are not intended to stop your wheelchair in
motion. They are only there to ensure that your wheelchair
does not begin rolling unintentionally. When you stop on
uneven ground, you should always use the wheel locks to
prevent unintended movement. Always apply both wheel locks;
otherwise, your wheelchair could tip over.
• Explore the effects of changing the centre of gravity on the
behaviour of the wheelchair in use, for example on inclines,
slopes, all gradients or when overcoming obstacles. Do this
with the secure aid of a helper.
• With extreme settings (e.g. rear wheels in the most forward
position) and less than perfect posture, the wheelchair may tip
over even on a level surface.
• Lean your upper body further forward when going up slopes
and steps.
• Lean your upper body further back when going down slopes
and steps. Never try to climb and descend a slope diagonally.
• Avoid using an escalator which may lead to serious injury in the
event of a fall.
• Do not use the wheelchair on slopes more than 10°. The
Dynamic safe slope is dependant on the chair configuration, the
users abilities and the style of riding. As the users abilities and
style of riding cannot be predetermined then the max safe slope
cannot be determined. Therefore this must be determined by
the user with the assistance of an attendant to prevent tipping.
It is strongly recommended that inexperienced users have Anti-
tips fitted.
• It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause this
wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding uphill or downhill.
• Do not use your wheelchair on muddy or icy ground.
• Do not use your wheelchair where pedestrians are not allowed.
• To avoid hand injuries do not grab in between the spokes or
between the rear wheel and wheel lock when driving the
wheelchair.
• In particular when using lightweight metal handrims, fingers will
easily become hot when braking from a high speed or on long
inclines.
• Only attempt stairs with the help of an attendant. There is
equipment available to help you, e.g. climbing ramps or lifts,
please use them. If there is no such equipment available, then
the wheelchair must be tipped and pushed, never carried, over
the steps (2 helpers). We recommend that users over 100 kg in
weight are not transferred in this way. In general, any anti-tip
tubes fitted must be set beforehand, so that they cannot touch
the steps, as otherwise this could lead to a serious tumble.
Afterwards the anti-tip tubes must be set back to their correct
position.
• Make sure that the attendant only holds the wheelchair using
securely mounted parts. Do not use removable parts (e.g. not
on the footrests or the side guards).
• When using the lifting ramp make sure that the anti-tip tubes
fitted are positioned outside the danger area.
• Secure your wheelchair on uneven ground or when transferring,
e.g. into a car, by using the brakes.
• When using the lifting ramp make sure that the anti-tip tubes
fitted are positioned outside the danger area.
• Secure your wheelchair on uneven ground or when transferring,
e.g. into a car, by using the brakes.
• If and whenever possible, during a journey in a specially fitted
vehicle for disabled people, vehicle occupants should use the
seats in the vehicle and the appropriate restraint system. This is
the only way to ensure that occupants will have the maximum
protection if there is an accident.
General safety notes and driving restrictions
The engineering and construction of this wheelchair has been
designed to provide maximum safety. International safety standards
currently in force have either been fulfilled or exceeded in parts.
Nevertheless, users may put themselves at risk by improperly using
their wheelchairs. For your own safety, the following rules must be
strictly observed.
Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments increase the
risk of accident. As a wheelchair user, you are also part of the daily
traffic on streets and pavements, just like anyone else. We would
like to remind you that you are therefore also subject to any and all
traffic laws.
Be careful during your first ride in this wheelchair. Get to know your
wheelchair.
Before each use, the following should be checked:
• Fixed axles or Quick-release axles on the rear wheels.
• Velcro on seats and backrests
• Tyres, tyre pressure and wheel locks.
Before changing any of the adjustments of this wheelchair, it is
important to read the corresponding section of the user’s manual.
It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause this
wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding uphill or downhill.
When riding forwards over a step or up an incline, the body should
be leaning forward.
DANGER!
NEVER exceed the maximum load of 125 kg, (XL=170 kg), for user
plus any items carried on the wheelchair. If you exceed the
maximum load, this can lead to damage to the chair, or you may fall
or tip over, lose control and may lead to serious injury of the user
and other people.
• When it is dark, please wear light clothing or clothing with
reflectors, so that you can be seen more easily. Make sure that
the reflectors on the side and back of the wheelchair are clearly
visible.
• We would also recommend that you fit an active light.
• To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first practice
using your new wheelchair on level ground with good visibility.
• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the footboards.
• These should be flipped up beforehand and swung to the outside
as far as possible. Always position yourself as close as possible to
the place where you wish to transfer to.
• Only use your wheelchair with care. For example, avoid travelling
against an obstacle without braking (step, kerb edge) or dropping
down gaps.

DANGER!
• Depending on the diameter and setting of the castors, as well
as the centre of gravity setting of the wheelchair, the castors
may begin to wobble at high speeds. This can lead to castor
seizure and the wheelchair may tip over. Therefore, please
make sure that the castors are adjusted correctly (see the
Chapter "Castors").
• In particular, do not travel on an incline without brakes, travel
at a reduced speed. We recommend that novice users use
anti-tip tubes.
• Anti-tip tubes should prevent the chair tipping over
backwards unintentionally. Under no circumstances should
they take the place of transit wheels, and be used to
transport a person in a wheelchair with the rear wheels
removed.
• When reaching for objects (which are in front of, to the side
or behind the wheelchair) make sure that you do not lean too
far out of the wheelchair, as if you change the centre of
gravity there is a risk of tipping or rolling over. The hanging of
additional load (back pack or similar items) onto your chair
back posts can affect the rearward stability of your chair,
especially when used in combination with recliner backrests.
This can cause the chair to tip backwards causing injury.
• For thigh amputees you must use anti-tip tubes.
• Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is correct.
For rear wheels it should be at least 3.5 bar ( 350 kPa). The
max. pressure is indicated on the tyre.The knee-lever brakes
will only work if there is sufficient tyre pressure and if the
correct setting has been made (see the Chapter on
"Brakes").
• If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must replace
them immediately.
• Be careful with fire, in particular with burning cigarettes. Seat
and back slings can be set alight.
• If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight / cold
temperature for a long period of time, then parts of the
wheelchair (e.g. frame, legrests, brakes and side guard) may
become hot (>41°C) / very cold (<0°).
• Always make sure that, if fitted, the quick-release axles on
the rear wheels are set properly and lock in (locking ball
bearings are showing completely through the axle sleeve). If
the button on the quick-release axle is not pressed in, the
rear wheel cannot be removed.
CAUTION !
• The effect of the knee-lever brake as well as the general
driving characteristics are dependant on tyre pressure. The
wheelchair is significantly lighter and easier to manoeuvre
when the rear wheels are pumped up correctly and both
wheels have the same pressure.
• Make sure that your tyres have sufficient tread!
• Please note that you are subject to any and all traffic laws
when driving in public traffic.
• Always be careful when handling or adjusting the
wheelchair!
• Adjustments which require tools should always be done by
authorized dealers.
• Clean the wheelchair regularly to avoid rust and salt
corrosion.
• Check the rivets, nuts and bolts to make sure they are tight
and that no wheelchair parts will come loose.
• With all moving parts there is a natural risk of finger traps.
Please handle with care.
• The products shown and described in this manual may not
be exactly the same in every detail as your own model.
However, all instructions are still entirely relevant,
irrespective of detai differences.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to alter without notice
any weights, measurements or other technical data shown
in this manual. All figures, measurements and capacities
shown in this manual are approximate and do not constitute
specifications.
DANGER!

Transportability
DANGER!
There is a risk of serious injury or death if this if this advice is
ignored!
Transportation of your wheelchair within a vehicle:
A wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the equivalent
level of safety and security as a vehicle seating system. It is always
recommended that the user transfers to the vehicle seating. It is
recognised that this is not always practical for the user to be
transferred and in these circumstances, where the user must be
transported whilst in the wheelchair, the following advice must be
followed:
1. Confirm that the vehicle is suitably equipped to transport a
passenger in a wheelchair, and ensure the method of access/
egress is suitable for your wheelchair type. The vehicle should
have the floor strength to take the combined weight of the user, the
wheel chair and accessories.
2. Sufficient space should be available around the wheelchair to
enable clear access to attach, tighten and release the wheelchair
and occupant tie down restraints and safety belts.
3.The occupied wheelchair must be located in a forward facing
position and secured by the wheelchair tie down and occupant
restraint straps (WTORS tie downs meeting the requirements of
ISO 10542 or SAE J2249) in accordance with the WTORS
manufacturer’s instructions.
4. The wheelchair’s use in other positions within a vehicle has not
been tested e.g. transportation in a side facing position must not be
carried out under any circumstances (Fig. A).
5. The wheelchair should be secured by a Tie Down Restraint
system, conforming to ISO 10542 or SAE J2249 with non-
adjustable front straps and adjustable rear straps, which typically
use Karabiner clips/S hooks and tongue and buckle fittings. These
restraints generally comprise of 4 individual straps that are
attached to each corner of the wheelchair.
6. The tie-down restraints should be fitted to the main frame of the
wheelchair as indicated in the diagram on the following page, and
not to any attachments or accessories, e.g. not around the spokes
of wheels, brakes or footrests.
Fig.A
7. The tie–down restraints should be attached as close as possible
at an angle of 45 degrees and tightened securely in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8.Alterations or substitutions must not be made to the wheelchair
securement points or to structural and frame or components
without consulting the manufacturer. Failure to do so will invalidate
the ability of a Sunrise Medical wheelchair to be transported within
a vehicle.
9. Both pelvic and upper torso restraint belts must be used to
restrain the occupant to reduce the possibility of head and chest
impacts with the vehicle components and serious risk of injury to
the user and other vehicle occupants. (Fig B) The upper torso
restraint belt should be mounted to the vehicle “B” pillar - failure to
do so will increase the risk of serious abdominal injuries to the user.
10. A head restraint suitable for transportation (see label on
headrest) must be fitted and suitably positioned at all times during
transportation.
11. Postural supports (lap straps, lap belts) should not be used or
relied on for occupant restraint in a moving vehicle unless they are
labelled as meeting the requirements specified in ISO 7176-
19:2001 or SAE J2249.
12. The safety of the user during transportation depends upon the
diligence of the person securing the tie-down restraints and they
should have received appropriate instructions and/or training in
their use.
13. Wherever possible remove and stow safely away from the
wheelchair all auxiliary equipment, for example:
Crutches, Loose cushions and Tray Tables.
14. Articulating/elevating leg rest should not be used in the elevated
position when the wheelchair and user are being transported and
the wheelchair is restrained using Wheelchair Transport and
Occupant Restraints.
15. Reclining backrests should be returned to an upright position.
16. The manual brakes must be firmly applied.
17. Restraints should be mounted to the vehicle “B” pillar and
should not be held away from the body by wheelchair components
such as armrest or wheels.

ENGLISH
OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS INSTRUCTION:
1. The pelvic restraint belt must be worn low across the front of the
pelvis so that the angle of the pelvic belt is within the preferred zone
of 30 to 75 degrees to the horizontal.
A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is desirable i.e.
closer to, but never exceeding 75degrees. (Fig C)
2. The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder and
across the chest as illustrated Fig d and e
Restraint belts must be adjusted as tightly as possible consistent
with user comfort.
Restraint belt webbing must not be twisted when in use.
The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the shoulder and across
the shoulder as illustrated in Fig D and E.
3. The attachment points to the chair are the inner front side frame
just above the castor, and the rear side frame. The straps are fitted
around the side frames at the intersection of the horizontal and
vertical frame tubes. (See Figs G - K)
4. The tie down symbol (Fig F) on the wheelchair frame indicates
the position of the wheelchair restraint straps. The straps are then
tensioned after the front straps have been fitted to secure the
wheelchair.
USER WEIGHT LESS THAN 22 kg
When the user being transported is a child, less than 22Kg mass
and the vehicle involved has less than eight (8) seated passengers
it is recommended that they be transferred to an UNCE Regulation
44 compliant child restraint system (CRS).
This type of restraint system provides a more effective occupant
restraint system than the conventional 3 point occupant restraint
system and some CRS systems also include additional postural
supports to assist in maintaining the position of the child when
seated.
Parents or care providers may consider the option, in some
circumstances, for their child is to remain in their wheelchair whilst in
transport due to the level of posture control and comfort provided by
the set up in the wheelchair.
We would recommend in such circumstances that a risk assessment
be carried out by your healthcare professional and relevant
competent persons.
POSITIONING OF WHEELCHAIR TIE DOWN RESTRAINTS
ON WHEELCHAIR:
1. Location of the front and rear tie down labels (Fig. G-H-I).
2. Position of the front, (Fig.G) and rear, (Fig.H-I), wheelchair tie
down restraint and the tie down label.
3. Side view of tie down straps, (Fig.J).

ONE-HAND OPERATION
Your wheelchair is equipped with
two sets of wheel locks that can be
operated from either the left or the
right side. They are applied directly
against the tyres. To engage, push
the brake lever forward against the
stops (Fig. 9). To release the locks,
pull the lever back to its original
position.
• Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• Wet tyres
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks.
The wheel locks have not been
designed to be used as brakes for a
moving wheelchair. The wheel locks
should therefore never be used to
brake a moving wheelchair. Always use the hand-rims for braking.
Make sure that the gap between the tyres and wheel locks complies
with given specifications. To re-adjust, loosen the screw and set the
appropriate gap. Then re-tighten the screw (see the page on torque)
(Fig. 10).
CAUTION:
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel lock gap
and re-adjust if necessary.
Mounting the wheel lock too close towards the wheel will result in a
higher effort to operate. This might cause the brake lever extension
to break! Leaning onto the brake lever extension while transferring
will cause the lever to break! Splashing water from tyres might
cause the wheel lock to malfunction.
FOOTPLATES:
The footplates can be flipped up to
make it easier to transfer to/from the
chair.
LOWER LEG LENGTH:
For users with longer legs, the leg
support can be lowered to the
appropriate level by using the screws
(1). Loosen the screws, push the
tubes to the desired position and
then re-tighten the screws (see
section on torque). There must
always be a minimum gap of 2.5 cm between the footplates and the
ground, (Fig.11).
ANGLE-ADJUSTABLE
FOOTBOARD
This can be adjusted to alter the
angle to the ground. Release
screw, pull it inwards, set the
desired angle and then push it
on. After making the adjustment,
re-tighten the screw.
Make sure that after any
adjustment work, all screws are tightened correctly (see the page 5
torque).
Ensure that you maintain the minimum gap to the oor (2.5 cm) (Fig.
12).

FOOTRESTS AND LATCH
The legrests can be swung inwards
under the seat sling or outwards. When
fitting the legrests, the footrests must be
pointing inwards or outwards. Then rotate
the legrest inwards, until it locks into
place. To remove, pull the lever (1),
swing the footplate inwards or outwards
and then lift the legrest out. Make sure
that the legrest is locked into place
correctly, (Fig 13).
CAUTION!
• The legrests must not be used to lift or to carry the wheelchair.
• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the footboards.
These should be flipped up beforehand or the footrest should be
swung to the outside as far as possible.
OPTION ELEVATING LEGREST
(Fig 14-16)
To remove, pull the lever (1), swing the
footplate outwards and then lift the
legrest out.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
The lower leg length can be adjusted
infinitely by releasing the screw (2).
Adjust the suitable height and tighten the
screw again.
CAUTION!
The distance between the footplate
and the ground must be at least 40
mm.
ANGLE ADJUSTMENT:
Press the lever (3) downward with one
hand while supporting the legrest with
the other hand to take the load off. When
a suitable angle is achieved, let go of the

ADJUSTING THE CALF PAD
(Fig 17).
The calf pad can be adjusted as
follows:
Height: Open bolt (4) and move the
clamping piece to the desired
position. By rotating the clamping
piece also the angle can be
adjusted.
Depth: Open bolt (5) and move the
calf pad into the desired position.

spacers (6) behind the pad, to get
the desired position.
WARNING!
• Keep hands clear of the adjustable mechanism between the
frame and the movable parts of the foot rest, while elevating or
lowering the footrest.
• Always make sure that the fasteners are secure.
• The foot rests must not be used to lift or to carry the
wheelchair.
• Risk of trapping fingers! When moving the foot rest up or
down, do not put your fingers in the adjusting mechanism
between the moving parts of the foot rest.
AMPUTEE SUPPORT
(Fig.18).
The Amputee Support can be
adjusted in every direction as
required.
CASTORS, CASTOR PLATES, FORKS
The wheelchair may veer slightly to the right or left, or the castors
may wobble. This may be caused by the following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set properly.
• The castor angle has not been set correctly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; the wheels do
not turn smoothly.
The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the castors have
not been properly adjusted. Castors should always be adjusted by
an authorised dealer. The wheel locks must be checked every time
the rear wheel position has been altered.
The seat height is determined by the
castor and rear wheel position. The
seat height can be adjusted by
altering the position of the rear
wheels and the castors and by using
spacers, (Fig.19).
CAUTION!
After adjusting the seat height, all
screws must be re-tightened and the
wheel lock must be readjusted.

ANTI-TIP TUBES
Anti-tip tubes provide additional
safety for inexperienced users when
they are still learning how to operate
their wheelchair. They prevent a
wheelchair from tipping over
backwards. The anti tip tube should
be inserted into the frame tube until
the first of the two spring buttons
enters the first hole in the frame tube,
(Fig.36).
WARNING!
Incorrect setup of the anti-tips will increase the risk of a rearwards
tip. You must swing the anti-tips upwards when going up or down
large obstacles, (such as a kerb), to prevent them from touching the
ground, then rotate them back down to the normal position.
NOTE: Do not insert both buttons of the anti tip tube into the frame
tube as this could damage the anti Tipp and cause a loss of
effectiveness. By pushing on the Second exposed release button,
the safety wheels can be set upwards or removed. There must
always be a gap of between 3 cm and 5 cm between the tube and
the ground. You must swing the safety wheels upwards when going
up and down large obstacles (such as a kerb) to prevent them from
touching the ground. Then rotate the safety wheels back down to
the normal position (Fig. 36).
WARNING!
Incorrect set up of the anti tips will increase the risk of a rearwards
tip.

occupant lap and diagonal restraints provided in the vehicle.
• Before use we recommend that the lap belt be checked to
ensure that it is adjusted correctly, free from any obstruction or
adverse wear and that the buckle engages securely.
• Failure to make sure that the lap belt is secure and adjusted
prior to use could cause serious injury to the user. e.g. too
loose a strap may allow the user to slip down in the chair and
risk suffocation.
MAINTENANCE:
Check lap belt and securing components at regular intervals for any
sign of fraying or damage. Replace if necessary. Clean the lap belt
with warm soapy water and allow it to dry.
DANGER!
The lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as detailed
above Sunrise Medical also recommend that the length and fit of
the belt is checked on a regular basis to reduce the risk of the end
user inadvertently re-adjusting the belt to an excessive length.
If in doubt about the use and operation of the seat belt then ask
your healthcare professional, wheelchair dealer, carer or attendant
for assistance.

Tyres and mounting
TYRES AND MOUNTING
Solid tyres are standard.
With pneumatic tyres make sure that you maintain the correct tyre
pressure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair performance. If
the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increase, requiring
more effort to move the chair forward. Low tyre pressure also has a
negative impact on manoeuvrability. If the tyre pressure is too high,
the tyre could burst. The correct pressure for a given tyre is printed
on the surface of the tyre itself.
Tyres can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle tyre.
Before installing a new inner tube, you should always make sure
that the base of the rim and the interior of the tyre are free of foreign
objects. Check the pressure after mounting or repairing a tyre. It is
critical to your safety and to the wheelchair’s performance that
regulation air pressure be maintained and that tyres be in good
condition.
Maintenance and care
MAINTENANCE:
Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals.
Check all tyres for wear and damage at regular intervals, at least
annually. Change the tyres as soon as there is any sign of damage
or wear.
Check the seat and back sling for wear and damage at regular
intervals, at least annually. Change these items as soon as there is
any sign of damage or wear.
Check all frame and backrest components for wear and damage at
regular intervals, at least annually. Change these items as soon as
there is any sign of damage or wear.
Check the brakes for wear and damage at regular intervals, at least
annually. Check that they are working properly and are easy to use.
Change the brakes as soon as there is any sign of damage or wear.
Check to make sure all bolts are secure (see the section on torque)
at regular intervals, at least annually. All screws which are critical to
using the wheelchair safely have safety nuts. Safety nuts should
only be used once and should be replaced after use.
NOTE: If torque settings are given, then we strongly recommend
that you use a torque measuring device, in order to check that you
have tightened to the correct torque.
Please use only mild household cleaners when your wheelchair is
dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning the seat upholstery
and lap belt.
Depending on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking
your wheelchair to your authorised dealer regularly, but at least
within a year, to have it maintained by trained personnel.
CAUTION!
Sand, salt and sea water can damage the bearings of the front and
rear wheels. Clean and dry the wheelchair carefully, after they have
been exposed to these elements.
SAFETY CHECK:
As the user you will be the first person to notice any possible
defects. We therefore recommend that before each use, you check
the following:
The tyre pressure is correct.
The brakes work correctly.
All removable parts are securely fastened (e.g. armrests, footrest
hangers, quick-release axles ...).
If there is any damage/defect, please contact your authorised dealer.

HYGIENE WHEN BEING REUSED:
When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared carefully, and
be wiped and treated with spray disinfectant on all surfaces which
could come into contact with the user.
If you need to do this quickly, you must use a liquid, alcohol-based
disinfectant suitable for medical products and devices.
Please pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions of the
disinfectant you are using.

DEUTSCH
• Die Feststellbremsen sind nicht dazu gedacht, Ihren Rollstuhl
während der Fahrt zu bremsen. Sie sichern den Rollstuhl
gegen das Wegrollen. Wenn Sie auf unebenem Untergrund
anhalten, ziehen Sie immer die Feststellbremse an, damit sich
der Rollstuhl nicht plötzlich bewegen kann. Ziehen Sie die
Bremsen auf beiden Seiten an, sonst könnte der Stuhl kippen.
• Erforschen Sie die Auswirkungen von
Schwerpunktverlagerungen auf das Verhalten des Rollstuhls,
zum Beispiel auf Gefällstrecken, Steigungen, sämtlichen
Neigungen oder beim Überwinden von Hindernissen nur mit
sicherer Unterstützung eines Helfers.
• Bei extremen Einstellungen (z.B. Antriebsräder in vorderster
Position) und ungünstiger Körperhaltung kann der Rollstuhl
bereits auf ebener Fläche kippen.
• Neigen Sie Ihren Oberkörper beim Befahren von Steigungen
und Stufen weit nach vorn.
• Lehnen Sie Ihren Oberkörper beim Befahren von Neigungen
und Stufen weiter nach hinten. Versuchen Sie keinesfalls,
Gefälle diagonal hinauf oder hinunter zu fahren.
• Vermeiden Sie Rolltreppen, da diese bei einem Sturz schwere
Verletzungen verursachen können.
• Den Rollstuhl nicht an Gefällen bzw. Steigungen von mehr als
10° verwenden. Die dynamische Stabilität an Gefällen hängt
von der Konfiguration des Rollstuhls, den Fertigkeiten und dem
Fahrstil des Benutzers ab. Da die Fertigkeiten des Benutzers
und der Fahrstil nicht vorherbestimmt werden können, kann der
Höchstwert für das sichere Gefälle nicht bestimmt werden.
Dieser muss vom Benutzer mit Hilfe einer Begleitperson
ermittelt werden, um das Umkippen zu verhindern. Für
unerfahrene Benutzer wird der Einbau von Sicherheitsrädern
dringend empfohlen.
• Besonders beim Befahren von Steigungen oder Gefällen
können Schlaglöcher oder unebener Untergrund den Rollstuhl
zum Kippen bringen.
• Den Rollstuhl nicht auf schlammigem oder vereistem Grund
verwenden.
• Den Rollstuhl nur dort verwenden, wo auch Fußgänger
zugelassen sind.
• Zur Vermeidung von Handverletzungen greifen Sie bei der
Fahrt mit dem Rollstuhl nicht zwischen die Speichen oder
zwischen das Antriebsrad und die Radbremse.
• Bei Verwendung von Leichtmetallgreifringen kann es beim
Abbremsen aus schneller Fahrt oder auf längeren
Gefällestrecken zum erhitzen der Greifringe kommen.
• Treppen dürfen nur mit Hilfe von Begleitpersonen überwunden
werden. Sind dafür Einrichtungen wie z.B. Auffahrrampen oder
Aufzüge vorhanden, so sind diese zu benutzen. Fehlen solche
Einrichtungen, ist der Rollstuhl anzukippen und über die Stufen
zu führen (2 Helfer). Wir empfehlen, Benutzer mit einem
Körpergewicht über 100 kg nicht auf diese Weise zu
transportieren. Generell müssen montierte Sicherheitsräder
zuvor so eingestellt werden, dass sie beim Transport nicht auf
die Stufen aufsetzen können, da es sonst zu schweren Stürzen
kommen kann. Anschließend müssen die Sicherheitsräder
wieder korrekt eingestellt werden.
• Achten Sie darauf, dass die Begleitpersonen den Rollstuhl nur
an fest montierten Bauteilen anfassen. Keine abnehmbaren
Teile (z.B. die Fußrasten oder Seitenteile) dafür verwenden.
• Achten Sie beim Benutzen von Hebebühnen darauf, dass sich
montierte Sicherheitsräder außerhalb des Gefahrenbereichs
befinden.
• Sichern Sie Ihren Rollstuhl auf unebenem Gelände oder beim
Umsteigen (z. B. ins Auto) durch Betätigen der Bremse.
• Achten Sie beim Benutzen von Hebebühnen darauf, dass sich
montierte Sicherheitsräder außerhalb des Gefahrenbereichs
befinden.
• Sichern Sie Ihren Rollstuhl auf unebenem Gelände oder beim
Umsteigen (z. B. ins Auto) durch Betätigen der Bremse.
• Wenn und wann immer möglich, sollten Fahrzeuginsassen
während der Fahrt in einem Behindertentransportkraftwagen
(BTW) die im Fahrzeug installierten Sitze und die
dazugehörigen Rückhaltesysteme nutzen. Nur so sind Insassen
bei einem Unfall optimal geschützt.
• Abhängig von Durchmesser und Einstellung der Lenkräder
sowie der Schwerpunkteinstellung des Rollstuhls kann bei
höheren Geschwindigkeiten ein Flattern der Lenkräder
auftreten. Dies kann zu einem Blockieren der Lenkräder und
zum Kippen des Rollstuhls führen. Achten Sie daher auf eine
korrekte Einstellung der Lenkräder (siehe Kapitel «Lenkräder»).
Allgemeine Sicherheitshinweise und Fahrbeschränkungen
Technik und Bauweise dieses Rollstuhls sind für die maximale
Sicherheit entworfen. Die aktuell gültigen internationalen
Sicherheitsstandards wurden erfüllt oder teilweise übererfüllt.
Dennoch kann sich der Benutzer einem Risiko aussetzen, wenn er
den Rollstuhl nicht vorschriftsmäßig handhabt. Beachten Sie zu
Ihrer eigenen Sicherheit bitte unbedingt die nachstehenden Regeln.
Unfachmännische oder fehlerhafte Änderungen oder Einstellungen
erhöhen das Unfallrisiko. Als Rollstuhlfahrer sind Sie auch
Verkehrsteilnehmer und Passant auf Straßen und Gehwegen. Wir
möchten Sie daran erinnern, dass für Sie als Rollstuhlfahrer alle
Verkehrsregeln gelten.
Seien Sie auf Ihrer ersten Fahrt im Rollstuhl besonders vorsichtig.
Lernen Sie Ihren Stuhl kennen.
Überprüfen Sie Folgendes vor jedem Gebrauch:
• Starrachsen oder Steckachsen an den Hinterrädern.
• Klettverschluss am Sitz und an der Rückenlehne
• Reifen, Reifendruck und Feststellbremsen.
Sollten irgendwelche Veränderungen an den Einstellungen
vorgenommen werden, ist es wichtig, den entsprechenden Abschnitt
der Gebrauchsanweisung zu lesen.
Besonders beim Befahren von Steigungen oder Gefällen können
Schlaglöcher oder unebener Untergrund den Rollstuhl zum Kippen
bringen. Wird eine Stufe oder ein Anstieg vorwärts befahren, sollte
der Körper nach vorne geneigt sein.
GEFAHR!
Überschreiten Sie NIEMALS die Höchstlast von 125 kg, (XL=170
kg), für den Fahrer plus mitgeführte Gegenstände. Das
Überschreiten der Maximalen Zuladung kann zu Schäden am Stuhl,
zu Fallen oder Kippen aus dem Rollstuhl, Verlust der Kontrolle, oder
zu schweren Verletzungen des Fahrers und anderer Personen
führen.
• Tragen Sie im Dunklen möglichst helle Kleidung oder Kleidung mit
Reflektoren, um besser gesehen werden zu können. Achten Sie
darauf, dass die seitlich und rückwärtig am Rollstuhl angebrachten
Reflektoren gut sichtbar sind.
• Wir empfehlen Ihnen auch das Anbringen einer aktiven
Beleuchtung.
• Um Stürze und gefährliche Situationen zu vermeiden, sollten Sie
den Umgang mit Ihrem neuen Rollstuhl erst auf ebenem,
überschaubarem Gelände üben.
• Benutzen Sie zum Ein- oder Aussteigen aus dem Rollstuhl nicht
die Fußbretter.
• Diese sollten vorher hochgeklappt und möglichst nach außen
weggeschwenkt werden. Begeben Sie sich immer so nah wie
möglich an die Stelle, an der Sie umsteigen möchten.
• Lassen Sie bei der Benutzung des Rollstuhls immer Vorsicht
walten. Vermeiden Sie z.B. ein ungebremstes Fahren gegen ein
Hindernis (Stufen, Bordsteinkante) oder Herunterfahren von
Kanten.

GEFAHR!
• Befahren Sie insbesondere Gefällstrecken nicht ungebremst,
sondern mit reduzierter Geschwindigkeit. Die Verwendung von
Sicherheitsrädern ist bei ungeübten Nutzern unbedingt
empfehlenswert.
• Die Sicherheitsräder sollen ein unbeabsichtigtes Kippen nach
hinten verhindern. Keinesfalls sollen sie die Funktion von
Transitrollen übernehmen, etwa um eine Person bei
abgenommenen Antriebsrädern im Rollstuhl zu transportieren.
• Achten Sie beim Ergreifen von Gegenständen (die vor, seitlich oder
hinter dem Rollstuhl liegen) darauf, dass Sie sich nicht zu weit aus
dem Rollstuhl lehnen, da durch Schwerpunktverlagerung eine Kipp-
bzw. Überschlaggefahr besteht. Das Aufhängen von zusätzlichen
Lasten (Rucksack oder ähnliche Gegenstände) an die
Rückenpfosten Ihres Rollstuhls kann die Stabilität Ihres Rollstuhls
nach hinten beeinträchtigen, vor allem, wenn der Rückenwinkel
nach hinten verstellt wurde. Der Rollstuhl kann dadurch nach hinten
kippen und Verletzungen verursachen.
• Bei Oberschenkelamputation müssen die Sicherheitsräder
verwendet werden.
• Achten Sie vor Fahrtantritt auf den korrekten Luftdruck der von
Ihnen verwendeten Bereifung. Bei den Antriebsrädern muss er
mindestens 3,5 bar (350 kPa) betragen. Der max. Luftdruck ist am
Reifen angegeben. Die Kniehebelbremsen sind nur bei
ausreichendem Luftdruck und korrekter Einstellung wirksam (siehe
Kapitel "Bremse").
• Sollte die Sitz- und Rückenbespannung beschädigt sein, tauschen
Sie diese bitte umgehend aus.
• Vorsicht beim Umgang mit Feuer, insbesondere brennenden
Zigaretten. Sitz- und Rückenbespannung könnten sich entzünden.
• Wenn der Rollstuhl längere Zeit direkter Sonneneinstrahlung /
niedrigen Temperaturen ausgesetzt war, können Teile des Rollstuhls
(z.B. Rahmen, Fußrasten, Bremsen und Seitenteile) sehr heiß
(>41°C) bzw. sehr kalt (<0°) werden.
• Achten Sie immer darauf, dass die Steckachsen an den
Hinterrädern (falls eingebaut) richtig eingestellt sind und ganz
einrasten (Kugellager sind ganz durch die Achsaufnahme sichtbar).
Bei nicht gedrücktem Knopf der Steckachse darf sich das
Antriebsrad nicht entfernen lassen.
VORSICHT!
• Sowohl die Wirkung der Kniehebelbremse als auch das
allgemeine Fahrverhalten sind vom Luftdruck abhängig. Mit
korrekt aufgepumpten Antriebsrädern und gleichem Luftdruck
auf beiden Rädern lässt sich Ihr Rollstuhl wesentlich leichter
und besser manövrieren.
• Achten Sie auf eine ausreichende Profiltiefe Ihrer Bereifung!
• Beachten Sie bitte, dass Sie bei Fahrten im öffentlichen
Straßenverkehr der Straßenverkehrsordnung unterliegen.
• Lassen Sie bei der Handhabung und beim Einstellen des
Rollstuhls immer Vorsicht walten!
• Anpassungen, für die Werkzeug benötigt wird, sollten nur von
autorisierten Fachhändlern vorgenommen werden.
• Reinigen Sie den Rollstuhl regelmäßig, um Rostbildung und
Korrosion durch Salz zu vermeiden.
• Überprüfen Sie die Nieten, Muttern und Schrauben, um
sicherzustellen, dass sie fest sitzen und sich keine
Rollstuhlteile lösen.
• Bei allen beweglichen Teilen besteht immer die Gefahr, dass
die Finger eingeklemmt werden können. Bitte immer vorsichtig
handhaben.
• Die Rollstühle, die in diesem Handbuch abgebildet und
beschrieben sind, entsprechen möglicherweise nicht in allen
Einzelheiten genau Ihrem eigenen Modell. Dennoch sind alle
Anweisungen trotz möglicher Detailunterschiede völlig
relevant.
• Der Hersteller behält sich das Recht vor, Gewichte,
Abmessungen oder andere in diesem Handbuch aufgeführte
technische Daten ohne vorherige Benachrichtigung zu ändern.
Alle in diesem Handbuch aufgeführten Zahlenangaben,
Abmessungen und Kapazitäten sind ungefähr und stellen
keine präzisen technischen Daten dar.

Reifen und Montage
REIFEN UND MONTAGE
Vollgummireifen sind Standard.
Mit Luftreifen stellen Sie immer sicher, dass die Reifen den
korrekten Luftdruck haben, da sonst die Leistung des Rollstuhls
beeinträchtigt werden kann. Wenn der Druck zu niedrig ist, erhöht
sich die Reibung beim Fahren, und der Antrieb erfordert größeren
Kraftaufwand. Auch die Manövrierfähigkeit wird von einem zu
niedrigen Reifendruck beeinträchtigt. Wenn der Druck zu hoch ist,
kann der Reifen platzen. Auf der Reifenoberfläche ist jeweils der
korrekte Luftdruck angegeben.
Die Reifen werden wie gewöhnliche Fahrradreifen montiert. Bevor
Sie den inneren Schlauch einlegen, achten Sie darauf, dass die
Felge und die Innenseite des Reifens von Schmutzpartikeln frei
sind. Nach der Montage oder Reparatur des Reifens, muss der
Luftdruck geprüft werden. Für Ihre eigene Sicherheit und für die
optimale Leistung des Stuhls ist es äußerst wichtig, dass sich die
Reifen in gutem Zustand befinden und den vorgeschriebenen Druck
aufweisen.
Wartung und Pflege
WARTUNG:
Überprüfen Sie den Reifendruck regelmäßig.
Überprüfen Sie alle Reifen regelmäßig auf Abnutzung und Schäden,
mindestens aber einmal im Jahr. Wechseln Sie die Bereifung,
sobald Sie Anzeichen von Schäden oder Abnutzung feststellen.
Überprüfen Sie den Sitz und die Rückenbespannung regelmäßig
auf Abnutzung, mindestens aber einmal im Jahr. Wechseln Sie
diese Teile aus, sobald Sie Anzeichen von Schäden oder Abnutzung
feststellen.
Überprüfen Sie alle Bauteile von Rahmen und Rücken regelmäßig
auf Abnutzung, mindestens aber einmal im Jahr. Wechseln Sie
diese Teile aus, sobald Sie Anzeichen von Schäden oder Abnutzung
feststellen.
Überprüfen Sie die Bremse regelmäßig auf Abnutzung und
Schäden, mindestens aber einmal im Jahr. Überprüfen Sie, dass sie
richtig funktioniert und einfach zu bedienen ist. Wechseln Sie die
Bremse aus, sobald Sie Anzeichen von Schäden oder Abnutzung
feststellen.
Überprüfen Sie regelmäßig, dass alle Schrauben fest sitzen (siehe
dazu den Abschnitt zum Drehmoment), mindestens aber einmal im
Jahr. Alle Schrauben, die für die sichere Benutzung des Rollstuhls
kritisch sind, verfügen über selbstsichernde Muttern.
Selbstsichernde Muttern sollten nur einmal verwendet und dann
ausgewechselt werden.
HINWEIS: Wenn ein Drehmoment angegeben ist, empfehlen wir
dringend, einen Drehmomentmesser zu verwenden, damit Sie
überprüfen können, ob Sie alles auf das richtige Drehmoment
angezogen haben.
Verwenden Sie nur milde Reinigungsmittel, wenn der Rollstuhl
schmutzig ist. Zum Reinigen der Sitzpolsterung und Beckengurt nur
Wasser und Seife benutzen.
Je nach der Häufigkeit und Art der Benutzung empfehlen wir, den
Rollstuhl regelmäßig, aber mindestens einmal im Jahr vom
Fachpersonal eines autorisierten Fachhändlers warten zu lassen.
VORSICHT!
Sand, Salz und Meerwasser können die Lager an den Vorder- und
Hinterrädern beschädigen. Reinigen und trocknen Sie den Rollstuhl
sorgfältig ab, wenn er diesen Bedingungen ausgesetzt wurde.
SICHERHEITSPRÜFUNG:
Als Benutzer bemerken Sie mögliche Schäden als Erster/Erste. Wir
empfehlen daher, dass Sie vor jeder Benutzung folgendes
überprüfen:
dass der Reifendruck stimmt
dass die Bremsen richtig funktionieren
ob alle abnehmbaren Teile sicher befestigt sind, (z.B. Armlehnen,
Fußrasten, Steckachsen usw).
Wenn Sie einen Schaden/Defekt feststellen, wenden Sie sich an
Ihren autorisierten Fachhändler.
