2.0 General safety notes and driving limits

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:

• 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 110 kg for driver

plus any items carried on the wheelchair. Please note

the weight information for lighter weight options, which

are quoted separately. 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 sit.

• Only use your wheelchair properly. For example, avoid

travelling against an obstacle without braking (step, kerb

edge) or dropping down gaps.

• The wheel locks are not intended to brake your

wheelchair. 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 such rolling. 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, 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 > 10°. The

Dynamic safe slope is dependant on the chair

configuration, the users abilities and the style of riding.

As the user’s abilities and style of riding cannot be

pre-determined 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-tip tubes 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.

• Riding sideways on to a slope or incline, increases the

possibility of the wheelchair tipping over sideways.
