1. INTRODUCTION
Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL are comfort wheelchairs meant for both indoor and outdoor use. They are tested to DIN EN 12183:2014. The tests were carried out by TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH in Germany.
In Alu Rehab we believe that wheelchairs should be chosen based on a thorough assessment focusing on the needs of the user and demands from the environment. Therefore, it is important to know about the possibilities and restrictions of the wheel-chair. Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL are wheelchairs designed for users with the need for comfort and relief. The combination between the seating system and the ergonomical solutions in the frame construction, offers many possibilities for adaptation and adjustments.
The wheelchairs are constructed for indoor and outdoor use, and offers the possibility to vary the sitting position from activity to rest using tilt and recline functions.
Netti 4U CED is available in 3 versions:
Max user weight: 160 kg:
- Netti 4U CED with standard seat depths.
- Netti 4U CED XL with seat widths 550 and 600 mm
Max user weight: 130 kg:
- Netti 4U CEDS with shorter seat depth
When mounting accessories such as power kit etc, the weight of the accessories must be subtracted from the max user weight.
Specifications varies between
countries.

1.1 AREAS OF USE/ INDICATIONS FOR NETTI 4U CED, CEDS AND CED
Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL are multi­function wheelchairs for partially or fully immobile youth and grown up persons with physical and/or mental disabilities. These disabilities may have multiple causes. Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL have an adjustable seat and back angle, thus facilitating for the user change of position, mobilisation or posture correction (stabilisation), wherever the following functional impediments with their multiple possible causes are present:
• limited or lacking mobility
• limited or lacking muscle power
• limited movement range
• lacking or limited trunk and body stability
• hemiplegia
• rheumatic-type disorders
• craniocerebral injuries
• amputations
• other neurological or geriatric disorders.
1.2 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL are not suited for persons with a strongly enhanced muscular spasticity. In this case we recommend the Netti Dynamic System, which offers a frame construction that follows the movement pattern of the user. Ignoring this advice could in unfavorable circumstances lead to the deformation or fracture of metal parts in the area of the back tube, the leg support or the arm support.
1.3 QUALITY AND DURABILITY
Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL wheelchairs are tested at TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH in Germany, following the European Standard DIN EN 12183:2014. As manufacturer, Alu Rehab A.S evaluates the test to be equal to 5-6 years of normal use of the chair. The disability of the user as well as the level of maintenance done foremost decides the durability of the wheelchair. Thus, the durability will vary depending on these two factors.

7. SEAT ANGLE / TILT AND BACK ANGLE / RECLINE
7.1 SEAT ANGLE
The seat angle is regulated using the release handle mounted on the push bar. The seat unit can be tilted from -5° to +20°.
7.2 BACKREST ANGLE
The backrest angle is regulated using the release handle mounted on the push bar. The angle can be regulated from 92° to 137° backwards.
To ensure correct function of the wires,
these must never be taut.
The seat and back-rest angle must not be
adjusted without using the anti-tips.
The release handles has each on of the following label:
Tilt Recline
Risk for tipping. Check the position of
anti-tip.
When chair back extension is mounted, the tipping risk increases. If necessary it should be improved by moving the main wheels further back. Always use anti-tippers when recline and tilt functions are being activated.
7.3 KEY WORDS REGARDING TILT AND RECLINE OF STATIC COM­FORT WHEELCHAIRS, AND COM­MON FEATURES OF DYNAMIC WHEELCHAIRS
Tilt and recline are the basic benefits of a comfort wheelchair. It allows for varying seating positions during the time in the wheelchair.
We have reviewed the clinical evidences re­garding tilt and recline, and found there are several studies or best practice guidelines suggesting that the tilt and recline sequence is important to reduce shear and sliding: First tilt then recline afterwards. When bringing the client upright again, the sequence should be recline first then tilt. It would seem that the most shear would be induced when going upright from a recline and tilted position.
7.4 DECREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF SLIDING, SHEAR AND PRESSURE SORES:
Only use the tilt angle to achieve varia­tion of the seating position for the user. It is common knowledge that recline should not be adjusted after the back angle is accom­modated to the user’s best seating position. The muscle tone of the neck and back should be as low as possible for the user to prevent sliding, and a change of the recline angle from the original position will interrupt and destroy the correct body position, and cause an increased muscle tone in the neck.
If the recline function is used during a trans­fer situation or other situations, it is very important that the recline angle is adjusted back to the correct, original position when the user is back to a normal seating position. Wrong usage of recline causes an increased possibility of sliding, and this means an in­creased danger of shear (vertical and hori­zontal forces) and pressure sores.

ASSURE THAT THE USER IS SAFE WHEN THE TILT OR RECLINE FEATURES ARE GOING TO BE ADJUSTED:
The tilt and recline functions of all Netti comfort wheelchair models is a «one hand operation», including the dynamic wheelchair models. This is a great benefit for the user. The care giver is able to establish eye contact with the user when the tilt or recline function is going to be used. The care giver is also able to communicate with the user before the tilt or recline function is used. The user will feel more safe when he/she is aware that the tilt or recline function is going to be used.
7.5 OPERATING TILT HANDLE: TILTING THE SEATING UNIT
Press the left handle on the push bar and put pressure to the push bar to tilt the seat­ing unit with one of your hands, while you have eye contact with the user and put the other hand on the arm support.
The correct relative angle between the body parts remain the same when the seating unit is tilted.
Wherever you let the handle loose, the seating unit will stay in this position. To bring the seating unit up, press the handle and the tilt cylinder will assist you lifting the seating unit up.
A backward tilted seat unit gives a steep­er seating angle in relation to the surface, and prevent sliding of the wheelchair user. A forward tilted seat unit brings the user in a positon where activities - for in­stance by a table or by standing up from the wheelchair, are supported.
The tilt handle and the tilt sign is on the push bar - shown on the previous page.
Risk of sliding forwards - Do not leave the user in the wheelchair when it is tilted forward.
7.6 OPERATING RECLINE HANDLE: RECLINING THE CHAIR BACK
Press the right handle and put pressure to the push bar to recline the back with one of your hands, while you have eye con­tact with the user and put the other hand on the arm support. Wherever you let the handle loose, the chair back will stay fixed and locked.

8. MANOEUVRING
8.1 GENERAL TECHNIQUES
Manoeuvring and chair balance:
The weight and balance of the chair influenc­es the manoeuvring qualities of the wheel­chair. The weight, size and sitting position of the user are influencing factors. The position of the wheels will in addition influence the manoeuvring qualities. The more weight placed over the main wheels, the easier it is to manoeuvre. If heavy weight is placed over the front castors, the chair will be heavy to manoeuvre. See page 16 - seat depth adjust­ment - for balancing the chair.
Step approach:
Always approach the step in slow motion preventing the front castors to hit the step with force. The user could fall out of the chair by the impact. The front castors could be damaged.
Driving down steps / sidewalks
Be cautious that you do not drive down steps higher than 30 mm. The leg supports may hit the ground first. Thereby you may lose ste­ering control and the leg supports may brake.
Driving on soft, rough or slippery
ground can make safe manoeuvring more difficult as the wheels may loose traction and it is difficult to control the wheelchair.
Parking:
Increase the footprint and the support of the wheelchair by moving the chair about 100 mm rearwards making the front castors turn forward.
EMERGENCY ESCAPE ROUTES: Netti 4U CED with seat width 550 mm and more, has an overall width exceeding 700 mm and may have difficulties passing emergency escape routes.
Companion: If the user is left alone in the wheelchair, always lock the brakes and check that the anti-tips are turned down.

the risk of tipping the chair forwards.
8.8 LIFTING THE WHEELCHAIR
• The wheelchair should be lifted in the frame, and crossbar only.
• Lifting points are marked with this sign:
Never lift the wheelchair by the leg supports, arm supports or push bow.
Do not lift the wheelchair with a user in it.
8.9 PUSH RIM
Netti 4U CED, CEDS and CED XL are deliv­ered with aluminium push rims as standard. The material and distance to the main wheel influences the ability of the user to grip. Contact your dealer to get information about alternative push rims that fit your chair.
Alternative push rims may give a better grip, but the friction may increase. When using the hands to stop the chair, the risk for burn­ing of the hands increases.
A squeezing and trapping hazard of the fingers may occur when passing through narrow passages and if the fingers come between the spokes. To avoid this risk, we recommend spoke protectors as accessory.
If you want/need to change push rims or increase/decrease the distance between the push rims and the wheel, please contact your dealer
