1.0 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 over a step or up an incline

frontally, the body should be leaning forward.

DANGER!

• NEVER exceed the maximum load of 140 kg, (100kg

with hand bike axle), for driver plus any items carried

on the wheelchair. 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 users 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 Ant-tips 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.

• Only attempt stairs with the help of an attendant.

There is equipment available to help you, e.g.

climbing ramps or lifts, please use them. If there is no

such equipment available, then the wheelchair must

be tipped and pushed, never carried, over the steps

(2 helpers). We recommend that users over 100 kg in

weight do not use this stairway manoeuvre!

• In general, any anti-tip tubes fitted must be set

beforehand, so that they cannot touch the steps,

as otherwise this could lead to a serious tumble.

Afterwards the anti-tip tubes must be set back to their

correct position.

• Make sure that the attendant only holds the

wheelchair using securely mounted parts (e.g. not on

the footrests or the sideguards).
