1.7 Safety rules

L To prevent injury and/or damage to your wheelchair, make sure that no objects

and/or body parts are caught in the spokes of the driving wheels.

L The parking brakes should be applied before getting into and out of the wheelchair. L When getting into and out of the wheelchair, do not stand on the footplates. These

should be folded up beforehand, or the leg supports should be swung completely outwards out of the way.

L Investigate the effects of shifting the centre of gravity on the behavior of the wheelchair,

for example on up or down gradients, on laterally sloping ground, or when overcoming obstacles. Obtain support from an attendant.

L If you want to pick up something (lying in front of, on the side, or to the rear of the

wheelchair), you should not lean too far out to avoid tipping over.

L When moving through doors, arches, etc. ensure that there is enough room at the sides

so that you do not get your hands or arms caught or crushed and that there is no damage to the wheelchair.

L Only use your wheelchair according to regulations. For example, avoid uncontrolled

rolling against obstacles (steps, kerbs, doorframes, etc) or dropping down from ledges. The manufacturer cannot assume liability for damage caused by overloading, collision or other improper use.

L Stairs may only be negotiated when aided by another person. If furnishings like drive-on,

ramps or lifts are available, use them.

L When moving on the public highway, you are subject to the rules of the road. L When driving your wheelchair, you should not be under the influence of alcohol or

medicine as in the case of driving other vehicles. This also applies to indoor driving.

L When travelling outdoors, adapt your driving to weather and traffic conditions. L When transporting the wheelchair, never pick it up by grasping movable parts (armrests,

leg supports, etc.)

L To be better visible when driving in the dark, wear the brightest possible clothing or

clothes with reflectors, and check that the reflectors mounted on the sides and rear of the wheelchair are clearly visible.

L Be careful when using possible causes of fire such as cigarettes since they may set the

seat and back covers alight.

L Never exceed the maximum load of 120 kg (264.6 lb.).

2 Use

This chapter describes the everyday use. These instructions are for the user and the specialist dealer.

The wheelchair is delivered fully assembled by your specialist dealer. The instructions intended for the specialist dealer on how to set up the wheelchair are given in § 3.

4 Maintenance

Lifetime of the wheelchair is influenced by its use, storage, regular maintenance, servicing and cleaning.

4.1 Regular Maintenance

The maintenance activities to ensure a good condition for your Vermeiren wheelchair are described below:

Before every ride

 Check the tyres and make them clean. If necessary change the tire.  Check screw fastenings are secured.  Check the brakes and adjusted if necessary.

 Check the wheelchair (cleanliness, cracks, damage on structural parts ... .)

and make it clean. If necessary change the coating.

Page 16

708D 2011-05

Every 8 weeks: inspected and lubricating or adjusting from

 Arm supports  Footrests  Brake lever  Wheel axles

Every 6 months or for every new user

 General review  Disinfection  Frontwheels, possibly clean bearings

For your convenience, on the back of this manual is a maintenance plan. Repairing and assembling of spare parts for your wheelchair may only be performed by the

specialist dealer. Only authorized Vermeiren spare parts may be installed.

4.2 Shipping and storage

The shipping and storage of the wheelchair shall be according following instructions:

Store in a dry place (between +5 °C and +41 °C). The relative humidity of the air should be between 30% and 70%. Provide sufficient covering or packaging to protect the wheelchair from rust and

foreign bodies. (e.g. salt water, sea air, sand, dust).

Store all removed parts together in one place (or mark them if necessary) to avoid

mixing up with other products when re-assembling.

Components must be stored without being subjected to strains (Do not put too heavy

parts on the wheelchair, not clamping between something, ...).

4.3 Care

4.3.1 Seat and back cushion

The cleaning of the seat and back cushion shall be according:

 Clean seat and back with a cloth moistened with hot water. Be aware that you do not

soak the seat and back cushion.

 Use a mild commercial detergent for removing stubborn dirt.  Stains can be removed by using a sponge or a soft brush.  Do not use strong cleaning liquids like solvents, nor use hard brushes.  Never clean with steam and/or pressure washers.

4.3.2 Plastic parts

Clean plastic parts of your wheelchair with commercial plastic cleaners. Only use a soft

brush or soft sponge. Examples of plastic parts are the armrests, handles, tyres and ... .

4.3.3 Coating

The high quality of the surface layer guarantees optimal protection against corrosion. If the outer coat is damaged by scratching or in some other way, get your specialist dealer to repair the affected surface.

When cleaning, only use warm water and normal household detergents and soft brushes and cloths. Ensure that no wetness gets into the tubes.

Initially the zinc parts only require rubbing with a dry cloth. Stubborn dirt can best be removed by using a suitable commercial zinc polish.

4.4 Inspection

In principle we recommend one inspection every year, and a minimum of one before usage is resumed. All of the following checks must be performed and documented by authorized persons:

Check the frame parts and the hinged tubes for plastic deformation, cracks and

impaired functioning. Visually check for damage to the paintwork (danger of corrosion) Check the operation of the wheels (free running, level rolling, axle play, tyres, profile,

condition of the rims, air pressure in the case of air tyres, floating axles, etc.) Check the solidity and seating of all screws. Verify the amount of grease on the metal joints of movable parts The condition and security of the guides and axles of the steering wheels Visually check all plastic parts for cracks and brittle spots Check the functioning of the armrests and leg supports (locking, load, deformation,

wear caused by loads). Check the operation of other detachable parts (example: anti-tipping device, personal

safety belt, fitting back/seat, etc.) Completeness of the delivery condition, instruction manual available?

The service must only be signed off in the maintenance plan if a minimum of all the abovementioned aspects have been checked.

4.5 Disinfection

1.7 Pour votre sécurité

L Lorsque vous utilisez les roues motrices, veillez à ce qu’aucun objet et/ou partie du

corps ne puisse prendre dans les rayons, sous peine de blessures et/ou de dégâts à votre fauteuil roulant.

L Il convient de serrer les freins de stationnement avant de s’asseoir ou de sortir du

fauteuil roulant.

L Ne montez pas sur les repose-pieds pour vous asseoir ou pour sortir du fauteuil roulant.

Il faut d’abord les rabattre vers le haut ou faire basculer le repose-pied complet vers l’extérieur.

L Étudiez les effets des déplacements du centre de gravité sur le comportement du

fauteuil, par exemple sur les parcours en pente, les montées, les inclinaisons latérales ou lors du passage d’obstacles. Profitez de l’assistance de votre accompagnateur.

L Lorsque vous prenez des objets (qui se trouvent devant, sur le côté ou derrière le

fauteuil roulant), veillez à ne pas vous pencher trop loin hors du fauteuil, car il y a un risque de basculement en raison du déplacement du centre de gravité.

L Lors du passage de porte, sous des voûtes, etc., il faut vérifier que la place est

suffisante sur le côté, afin de ne pas risquer de se coincer les mains ou les bras, ni d’endommager le fauteuil.

L Utilisez votre fauteuil roulant exclusivement en suivant les dispositions en vigueur.

Évitez, par exemple, de vous diriger contre un obstacle (marche, bordure, huisserie) sans freiner ou de sauter de paliers d’escalier. Le fabricant décline toute responsabilité pour les dégâts causés par une collision ou une surcharge ou toute autre utilisation inappropriée.

L Les escaliers ne peuvent être franchis qu’avec l’aide d’un accompagnateur/d’une

accompagnatrice. S’il existe des installations, comme des rampes d’accès ou des ascenseurs, utilisez-les.

L Lorsque vous vous déplacez dans la circulation routière, vous devez respecter le code

de la route.

L Comme pour la conduite d’autres véhicules, vous ne devez pas conduire votre fauteuil

roulant sous l’influence de l’alcool ou de médicaments. Ceci vaut également pour l’intérieur.

L À l’extérieur de votre habitation, adaptez votre comportement de conduite aux

conditions météorologiques et routières existantes.

L Pour transporter le fauteuil roulant, ne jamais le prendre par des pièces mobiles

(accoudoirs, repose-jambes, etc.), mais uniquement aux éléments du cadre qui sont fixes.

L Pour être bien visibles dans l’obscurité, portez des vêtements clairs ou réfléchissants et

veillez à ce que les réflecteurs placés sur le côté et à l’arrière du fauteuil roulant soient bien visibles.

L Soyez prudent avec le feu, en particulier avec les cigarettes incandescentes ; en effet,

le tissu du siège et du dossier risque de s’enflammer.

L Veillez à ne pas dépasser la charge utile maximale (120 kg).

2 Utilisation

Ce chapitre décrit l'utilisation quotidienne. Ces instructions sont destinées à l'utilisateur et au distributeur.

Le fauteuil roulant est livré entièrement assemblé par votre distributeur. Les instructions destinées au distributeur pour le réglage du fauteuil roulant sont indiquées au § 3.

2.1 Transport du fauteuil roulant

Le meilleur moyen de déplacer le fauteuil roulant consiste à le faire rouler sur ses roues. Si cela n'est pas (par exemple en cas de retrait des roues arrière pour le transport dans une

voiture), saisir fermement le cadre à l'avant et les poignées. Ne pas saisir le fauteuil roulant par les accoudoirs ni par les repose-pieds.

2.2 Montage des roues arrière

1. Prenez la roue arrière et poussez sur le bouton .

2. Maintenez le bouton enfoncé et montez l'essieu arrière jusqu'à ce qu'il soit bloqué.

3. Relâchez le bouton.

4. Vérifiez que les roues sont bloquées.

2.3 Dépliage du fauteuil roulant

L ATTENTION : risque de pincement, laissez les doigts à l'écart des pièces

mobiles du fauteuil roulant.

1. Placez-vous derrière le fauteuil roulant.

2. Utilisez les poignées pour ouvrir le fauteuil roulant autant que possible.

3. Placez-vous à l'avant du fauteuil roulant.

4. Poussez sur les deux tubes de l'assise vers le bas jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient fixés à leur place.

2.4 Placer ou enlever les supports pour les pieds

L AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de lésion - Contrôlez que les repose-jambes sont

bien fixés avant d'utiliser le fauteuil roulant.

L PRUDENCE : Risque de se coincer – Ne pas placer d'objets ou de personnes sur

le chemin de la partie à tourner du fauteuil roulant.

L'installation des repose-pieds se fait de la manière suivante :

1. Gardez le repose-pieds en oblique sur la partie externe de la structure du fauteuil.

2. Montez les crans  du repose-pieds au niveau des broches  fixées à la structure.

3. Tournez le repose-jambes vers l'intérieur jusqu'à ce que le verrouillage se rive automatiquement (si vous éprouvez des difficultés lorsque vous devez river, exercer légèrement une pression sur le verrouillage).

4. Tournez la plaque pour les pieds vers le bas.

5. Replacez maintenant la bande pour les mollets dans les crochets .
