Instructions for use ROTEC

Drive Medical GmbH & Co. KG | As per: 28.04.2021 | Errors and alterations excepted

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 di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 ﬁrmly. The attendant who is posi-

tioned in front of the wheelchair holds the front lateral

frame ﬁrmly 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 crane,

for example, to overcome obstacles, only the 4 points on

the frame of the wheelchair which are identiﬁed with a

hook sticker may be used as lifting points (photo 1).

Do not attempt to lift the

wheelchair by grasping

any removable 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 lar-

ger 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 identiﬁcation

plate.

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+5). To

release the footrests, press the lever inwards and swivel

the footrests to the side (photo 6).
