2. Important safety information

2.1. General safety notes

• In order to prevent falls and dangerous situations, practise with
your new wheelchair on level, clear ground first. An attendant is
recommended.
• Before using the wheelchair check that all attached parts are
properly fixed.
• Only lift the wheelchair using firmly installed parts (see Chapter
5.3).
• Make sure that the quick-release axles are firmly positioned in the
axle support, otherwise there is a risk of injury.
• The risk of tipping over to any side increases with changes in balan-
ce through body movements or loading the wheelchair.
• The wheelchair must not be used to transport several individuals or
loads. Please respect the intended use (see Chapter 2.5)!
• When carrying out setting or adjustment work on the wheelchair
there is a risk that body parts could get pinched!
• Keep items of clothing and body parts away from gaps between
moving parts!
• When overcoming obstacles (steps, etc.) call in an attendant. Use
tipping aids (see Chapter 4.9.1).
• Negotiate steps and large obstacles with the help of at least two
attendants (see Chapter 5.3). Use equipment such as ramps, lifts or
stair-climbing devices, if these are available.
• When driving on downhill/uphill slopes, please be aware that even
at a few degrees, there is a risk of tipping over. We recommend the
use of anti-tip wheels (see Chapter 4.9.2).
• Avoid collisions of any type!
• Drive only on level, firm ground
• When transferring to or from the wheelchair, apply both parking
brakes (see Chapter 4.7).
• When on the road, observe the road traffic regulations (StVZO).
