2.2 General Safety Instructions
DANGER!
All brakes acting on the tires do not serve as service brake but are only designed
as parking brake (wheel lock).
DANGER!
To avoid tipping and dangerous situations, familiarize yourself with your new wheelchair
by practicing on level ground first.
DANGER!
Do not use the footplates as a step stool when getting into or out of your wheelchair.
These should be flipped and swung out of the way first, if possible.
DANGER!
Depending on the diameter and setting of the casters as well as the setting of the
wheelchairs center of gravity, the casters may flutter when driving at higher speeds.
This can lead to blocking of the casters and cause the wheelchair to tip over. The-
refore, ensure that the casters are properly adjusted (see section Adjustment /
Assembly Instructions”).
Especially on slopes, do not drive without braking and reduce your speed.
DANGER!
Get to know how the wheelchair reacts when the center of gravity shifts; for examp-
le on slopes or inclines or when clearing obstacles such as steps and curbs. This
should be done only with assistance from another person.
Using the anti-tipper is strongly recommended for untrained wheelchair users.
DANGER!
The anti-tipper is designed to prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards. Under
no condition should the anti-tipper be used as transport wheels, e.g.when wanting
to push the wheelchair while the rear wheels are removed.
DANGER!
Extreme settings (e.g. rear wheels mounted in the foremost position, M4 / M5)
combined with disadvantageous body postures can tip the wheelchair even when
on level ground.
DANGER!
When ascending slopes, lean your upper body far forward.
DANGER!
When reaching for objects in front, to the side or behind the wheelchair, do not lean
out of the wheelchair too far as this will shift the center of gravity and cause the
chair to tilt or tip over.
DANGER!
Use your wheelchair properly. For instance, do not “jump” the chair down from hig-
her surfaces and do not drive against obstacles such as steps and curbs without
braking.
