Safety instructions

To ensure proper and safe use, please be sure to obser-

ve the following information:

Stability and balance

Your wheelchair is designed such that it ensures the

stability you need during normal daily activities. Each

of your movements in the wheelchair has an eect on

the center of gravity which in the worst case can lead

to tipping of the wheelchair. To increase your safety, we

recommend using safety belts.

Reaching an object beyond the chair

The balance limits for reaching an object were deter-

mined through studies on a representative group of

wheelchair users.

Only the arms can be extended out beyond the

wheelchair seat. The body and the head should remain

within the limits of the seat.

Do not lean forward

Do not lean your chest over the armrest. To reach an

object in front of you, you must lean forward and bend

downwards. For this reason, you must use the steering

wheels as an aid (by facing them forwards) in order to

attain stability and balance. Accurate orientation of the

wheels is important for your safety.

Do not lean back

Position the wheelchair as close as possible to the desi-

red object so that you can easily reach it with outstret-

ched arms while you remain seated in the chair in a nor-

mal position. Do not lean back too far in any case since

you can otherwise cause the chair to tip over.

Lateral transfer

This transfer can be performed alone, provided you

have appropriate mobility and muscle tone. Position the

wheelchair as close as possible to the place where you

wish to sit such that the steering wheels are pointing for-

wards. Secure the parking brakes of the rear wheels.

Use a transfer board, if possible.

Forward transfer

If you are able to stand up, you can transfer yourself for-

wards to another seat. If this movement is dicult for

you, we recommend obtaining assistance from an atten-

dant or caregiver to ensure a transfer that is as easy and

safe as possible.

Secure both brakes and ensure that both steering

wheels are pointing forwards. In doing so, be aware that

you should not under any circumstances support your-

self on the brakes during the transfer. Then grasp the top

of the armrests, support yourself on your arms in order

to easily get up and the attendant can assist you in com-

pleting the transfer. Position yourself as near as possible

to the place where you wish to sit.

During the transfer, position yourself as far back in the

seat as possible to prevent the seat cushion from being

damaged or the wheelchair from tipping forward.

Secure the two brakes; the brake handles should ne-

ver be used for support during transfers. Never support

yourself on the foot plates when getting up from the

wheelchair.

If you are able to stand more or less upright and if you

have sucient upper body strength and mobility, you

can transfer yourself forwards to another seat. Fold up

the foot plate and push the foot support/leg support to

the side to clear the way, bend your body forwards while

you support yourself on the two armrests and stand up.

Then push your body in the direction of the place whe-

re you wish to sit while distributing your weight on your

arms and hands.
