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.

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.

Protect the product from direct sunlight

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.

Transport in motor vehicles for the transport of mobili-

ty-impaired persons (KMP)

Whether or not your

wheelchair is approved as

a seat in a motor vehicle

for the transport of mobili-

ty-impaired persons (KMP)

can be seen from the hook

symbol (photo 1) on the

wheelchair or can be read

in this instruction manual,

chapter Transport in motor

vehicles for the transport

of mobility-impaired per-

sons (KMP).

Transport

All wheelchairs approved by Drive DeVilbiss as seats in

vehicles are tested according to ISO 7176 19. The tests

according to ISO 7176-19 were carried out with the res-

traint systems from AMF-Bruns. The correct assembly of

the restraint system is a prerequisite for the safe trans-

port of the products in the KMP and the basis for the

release. Fixing points on the restraint system (see AMF

Bruns installation instructions) The AMF-Bruns restraint

systems provide the force nodes for ﬁ xing the products

in the KMP. The products may only be fastened to these

force node points for restraint in the KMP.

The person responsible for the transport should be fami-

liar with the current regulations for transport as well as

with the operation of the KMP and the restraint system.

Four-point restraint systems anchored to the vehicle

must be used to secure the wheelchair.

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).

Never swivel the footrests inwards!

Length adjustment of the footrest

Length adjustment

(photo 6)

Loosen and remove the

screw at the back of the

footrest (see circle) and

adjust the length accordin-

gly as desired by pushing

up or down. Check where

the threaded hole is and

reinsert the locking screw.

Retighten the screw!

Adjusting seat height (rear wheel mount)

The height of the seat at

the rear can be adjusted

in increments. To adjust

it, remove both hand rim

wheels by pressing the re-

lease button (see section

“Attach wheels”). Unscrew

the nut of the wheel mount

and move it into the desi-

red hole.

Replace the nut with the

locking washer and tigh-

ten it (photo 7).

Ensure that the wheel axle is properly tightened!

Adjusting seat height (front wheel mount)

The height of the seat can

be adjusted in increments

and is correspondingly ad-

justed in the desired incli-

nation of the seat surface.

To adjust, unscrew the

wheel axle screw and pull

it out.

The plugs of the corres-

ponding holes can be ea-

sily exchanged. Now move

the wheel in the desired

position and reinsert the wheel axle screw and tighten

it (photo 8).

Ensure that the wheel axle is properly tightened!

Adjusting and removing armrests

The armrests are already assembled on the wheelchair

upon delivery. The armrest overlays are replaceable. The

armrest overlay can be adjusted as a short or long arm

support, as needed (photo 9+10). To adjust it, loosen the

screws on the underside and move the armrest into the

desired position.

Retighten the screw!
