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 forwards over a step or up an incline, the body

should be leaning forward.

DANGER!

• NEVER exceed the maximum load of 125 kg, (100kg with

handbike axle), 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 dependent on the chair configuration, the

user#s 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.

• 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).

• This wheelchair is not designed to be used whilst weight

training and/or when using dumbbells. Only use equipment

specifically designed for this purpose.

• Do not lift or carry the wheelchair by the backtubes or the

pushhandles.

• When using the lifting ramp make sure that the anti-tip

tubes fitted are positioned outside the danger area.

• Secure your wheelchair on uneven ground or when

transferring, e.g. into a car, by using the brakes.
