Overcoming obstacles with an attendant

Getting up onto the sidewalk

The attendant positions the wheelchair facing forward

in front of the sidewalk. He/she then tilts the wheelchair

backwards towards him-/herself until the steering

wheels reach up onto the sidewalk; he/she pushes the

wheelchair forward until the rear wheels are at the edge

of the curb and pushes the wheelchair further until the

rear wheels roll over the edge of the curb.

Getting down o the sidewalk

The attendant positions the wheelchair facing forward

with the steering wheels at the edge of the curb and tilts

it backwards towards him-/herself. Then he/she careful-

ly pushes the wheelchair forwards until the rear wheels

touch the street, then he/she gradually lowers the stee-

ring wheels to the ground.

Getting over stairs

Since it is diﬃ cult to get over stairs, we recommend get-

ting assistance from two attendants, one in front of the

wheelchair and one behind the wheelchair at the push

handles. The attendant who is positioned behind the

wheelchair tilts it backwards towards him-/herself while

holding the handles ﬁ rmly. The attendant who is posi-

tioned in front of the wheelchair holds the front lateral

frame ﬁ rmly and lifts the chair over the stairs while the

other person places one foot on the next stair and re-

peats the step.

Do not lower the steering wheels of the wheelchair until

the attendant positioned in front of the wheelchair has

crossed the last stair. To go down stairs, the same proce-

dure as described above should be followed, in reverse

order.

Lifting the wheelchair

with hoists

If the wheelchair needs to

be lifted with a gantry cra-

ne, for example, to over-

come obstacles, only the

4 points on the frame of

the wheelchair which are

identiﬁ ed with a hook sti-

cker may be used as lifting

points (photo 1).

Do not attempt to lift the wheelchair by grasping any re-

movable parts (for example, the armrests, leg supports

or foot supports). Avoid using an escalator.

Traveling on inclines by independent wheelchair users

We recommend avoiding ramps with an incline of more

than 9°. In the case of larger inclines, there is a risk of

tipping over if the wheels spin or when approaching an

incline at an oblique angle.

Going up ramps

Lean your upper body forward and operate the hand

rims with rapid pushes to reach an appropriate speed.

If you want to stop to rest along the way, the two brakes

must be operated simultaneously.

Going down ramps

Lean your upper body backwards and use the hand rims

which slide through your hands to control the speed and

direction.

Avoid sudden direction changes, never attempt to as-

cend or descend a ramp diagonally, and do not attempt

to turn the wheelchair when ascending. The wheelchair

is not suitable as a seat for driving a vehicle.

Take note of the permitted maximum weight of the user.

This information can be found in the technical data in

these instructions for use as well as on the identiﬁ cation

plate.

Product parts can become hot and cause skin injuries if

touched.

Every serious incident which occurs in connection with

the product must be reported to the manufacturer and

the competent authority of the member state in which

the user and/or patient is located.

Preparing for use

Attach wheels and unfold

Insert the hand rim wheels into the hole provided in the

Varioblock by pressing the release button in the center

of the hub. Ensure that the wheel is properly locked af-

ter insertion; check this by pulling outwards (photo 2+3).

Now unfold the wheelchair by pressing on the seat sur-

face until it noticeably clicks into place.

Hanging the footrests

Hang both footrests provided as shown and swivel them

inwards until they audibly click into place (photo 4). To

release the footrests, press the lever inwards and swivel

the footrests to the side (photo 5).
