• Do not stand on or exert great pressure on the footplates.
• A wheelchair should be considered as a replacement for walking. Users must
therefore mo
ve among pedestrians and not on trafficked roadways.
• When you wish to transfer out of the chair, ensure that you are on as stable and
ev
en a surface as possible. In order to ensure that the chair does not move,
make sure that the brake is in the locked position.
• Legend 2 Exigo must not be used as a passenger seat in a vehicle. The
wheelchair user must be tr
ansferred to the vehicle’s passenger seat and must
use the vehicle’s safety belt.
• The maximum weight capacity for Legend 2 Exigo is 140 kg.
• You should regularly inspect the chair to reassure yourself that all screws, bolts
and other f
astenings are secure
.
• When the chair is in use, always ensure that the anti-tip stabiliser is activated.
• When any modifications are made to the chair, such as moving the drive
wheels
, mo
ving the front castor wheels, changing the backrest height, etc., this
will affect the chair’s rolling characteristics, balance and tipping point.
Therefore, be particularly careful when starting to use the chair again.
• It is recommended that a qualified helper be used when transferring into and
out of the chair.
• Ensure that clothing, bags and other items do not get caught in the wheel spok
es.
• Be aware of the danger of possible trapping injuries: avoid putting your fingers
betw
een the clothing guard and the wheel, and betw
een the wheel and the
brake.
• If while using the chair it is necessary to raise the front of the chair in order to
negotiate an obstruction, ne
ver do this by just pressing down on the pushing
handles. Tread on the tipping bar while exerting moderate pressure on the
pushing handles.
• Sitting in a wheelchair for a long period of time increases the danger of
pressure sores.
If there is a high risk of pressure sores, we recommend the use
of special seat cushions to counteract the problem.
