Choking Hazard - Breezy RubiX2 Manual De Usuario

DANGER!
Depending on the diameter and setting of the castors, as well
•
as the centre of gravity setting of the wheelchair, the castors
may begin to wobble at high speeds. This can lead to castor
seizure and the wheelchair may tip over. Therefore, please
make sure that the castors are adjusted correctly (see the
Chapter "Castors").
In particular, do not travel on an incline without brakes, travel
•
at a reduced speed. We recommend that novice users use
anti-tip tubes.
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 brakes
will only work if there is sufficient tyre pressure and if the
correct setting has been made (see the Chapter on
"Brakes").
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, brakes 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.
