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 footrest 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, curbs, doorframes, etc) or dropping down from ledges.
The manufacturer cannot assume liability for damage caused by overloading, collision
or other improper use.
