• Anti-tip tubes should prevent the chair tipping over backwards
unintentionally. Under no circumstances should they take the
place of transit wheels, and be used to transport a person in a
wheelchair with the rear wheels removed.
• When reaching for objects (which are in front of, to the side or
behind the wheelchair) make sure that you do not lean too far
out of the wheelchair, as if you change the centre of gravity
there is a risk of tipping or rolling over. The hanging of
additional load (back pack or similar items) onto your chair back
posts can affect the rearward stability of your chair, especially
when used in combination with recliner backrests. This can
cause the chair to tip backwards causing injury.
• For thigh amputees you must use anti-tip tubes.
• Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is correct. For
rear wheels it should be at least 3.5 bar ( 350 kPa). The max.
pressure is indicated on the tyre.The knee-lever wheel locks
will only work if there is sufficient tyre pressure and if the
correct setting has been made (see the Chapter on "Wheel
locks").
• If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must replace them
immediately.
• Be careful with fire, in particular with burning cigarettes. Seat
and back slings can be set alight.
• If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight / cold temperature
for a long period of time, then parts of the wheelchair (e.g.
frame, legrests, wheel locks and side guard) may become hot
(>41°C) / very cold (<0°).
• Always make sure that, if fitted, the quick-release axles on the
rear wheels are set properly and lock in (locking ball bearings
are showing completely through the axle sleeve). If the button
on the quick-release axle is not pressed in, the rear wheel
cannot be removed.

CAUTION !
• The effect of the knee-lever brake as well as the general
driving characteristics are dependant on tyre pressure. The
wheelchair is significantly lighter and easier to manoeuvre
when the rear wheels are pumped up correctly and both
wheels have the same pressure.
• Make sure that your tyres have sufficient tread!
• Please note that you are subject to any and all traffic laws
when driving in public traffic.
• Always be careful when handling or adjusting the wheelchair!
• Adjustments which require tools should always be done by
authorized dealers.
• Clean the wheelchair regularly to avoid rust and salt corrosion.
• Check the rivets, nuts and bolts to make sure they are tight
and that no wheelchair parts will come loose.
• With all moving parts there is a natural risk of finger traps.
Please handle with care.
