Use according to purpose
1
The wheelchair Ibis was designed for the transport of persons to a weight of maximally 125 kg (275 lbs).
The Ibis wheelchair is not a sports wheelchair.
The wheelchair has been designed for use in and outdoors.
The Ibis 12” is a push-wheelchair, which means that the wheelchair can only be moved when another person
pushes the wheelchair.
The Ibis 24” is a push-hoop-wheelchair, which means that the wheelchair can be pushed, and in addition can be
moved by yourself, if you push the hoops around the back wheels.
The wheelchair is not meant to be used as a seat in a motor vehicle.
If you use the wheelchair for other purposes than those for which it is intended, Handicare accepts no liability
whatsoever for damage or injury resulting from such use other than that for which the wheelchair was developed.
SADKIB-010010000-nl.doc
'Use according to purpose' as established in EN 292-1 is the use for which the technical product is suitable according to the statement of the
manufacturer, including his instructions in the sales brochure. In case of doubt this is the use that follows from the construction, execution and
function of the product. Use according to purpose also includes taking into consideration the instructions in the owner's manual.

General safety regulations and instructions
Version 2015v1 11
1 General safety regulations and instructions
Handicare accepts no liability whatsoever for damage or injury caused by the failure to (strictly) adhere to the
safety guidelines and instructions or else due to carelessness during the use and cleaning of the wheelchair and
possible accessories. Depending on the specific work circumstances or the accessories used, additional safety
instructions may be required. Please contact your dealer immediately if you observe a potential danger during the
use of the product.
The user of the wheelchair (see under 'use according to purpose') is at all times fully responsible
for the fulfilment of the locally applicable safety regulations and guidelines.
1.1 Decals and instructions on the wheelchair
Signs, symbols and instructions placed on this wheelchair comprise part of its safety facilities. They must never be
covered or removed and must remain present and clearly legible throughout the entire lifespan of the wheelchair.
Immediately replace or repair illegible or damaged signs, symbols and instructions.
Contact your dealer with regard to this.
1.2 Technical specifications
The technical specifications may not be changed.
1.3 Modifications
Modification of (parts of) this product is not permitted.
1.4 Safety
To avoid accidents and undesirable situations, it is of great importance to pay attention to the following safety
instructions.
•Pay extra attention to riding on slopes:
-Never ride with the Ibis on a slope with an angle of more than 5°(ascending percentage of 9%).
-On slopes always drive slowly and with awareness.
-The wheelchair is less stable on a slope and has less sideways stability.
-Do not ride on a slope if the seat is tilted.
•Be sure that no items of clothing hang loose.
These could be caught between the wheels while riding the wheelchair.
When tilting the seating system, parts of the wheelchair could be caught between the wheels or the
mechanism.
•Adjust your riding according to the circumstances:
-Drive carefully on slippery roads, resulting from rain, ice, or snow!
-Avoid the Ibis from coming into contact with sea water. Sea water is caustic and may damage the wheelchair.
-Avoid the Ibis from coming into contact with sand. Sand can affect the moving parts of the wheelchair, resulting in
unnecessarily rapid wear.
•Never operate the wheelchair when you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that
could affect your driving ability.
•You must have sufficient visual acuity to be able to drive safely in the wheelchair.

seating frame
The wheelchair has a unique seating system made by Handicare, known as Sedeo®.
Sedeo is the Latin word for: 'I sit'.
Functions of the Sedeo® seating system
The Sedeo® seating system offers outstanding support for:
1. The body:
The sitting position is well supported with a total range of solutions for the head, the torso, arms, pelvis, upper
legs, lower legs and feet, both in terms of posture and pressure distribution.
2. The range of body functions:
The body is supported in such a way that you can carry out a wide variety of actions, because you can move
into a stable sitting position.
A specialist or authorized representative should adjust the wheelchair. Erroneous settings can lead to negative
consequences for both your sitting position and the driving characteristics, as well as performance of your
wheelchair.

• Fasten the calf strap again for this new seat width.
XXXXXX-010504020.en.doc
2.5.3 Adjusting the depth of the legrest
See fig. 010504030.
Depending on the length of the upper legs, the legrests can
be adjusted in terms of depth.
The adjustment of the depth of the legrests should be done
as follows:
• Loosen the Allen bolt (A) a few turns with an Allen key with
a key width of 6 mm.
• Adjust the desired depth by sliding the entire suspension
bracket forward or backward.
• Tighten the Allen bolt securely again.
If the legrests are set too far backward (too
close to the chair) it is possible that the swivel
castors touch the legrests when driving
backward or maneuvering. If this is the case,
the legrests must be brought forward a bit:
there must be at least 1 cm (3/8") cm
between wheel and legrest.
If the legrests are set too far forward, it is possible that the suspension bracket of the legrest comes
out from under the seat and pushes into the knees uncomfortably. If this is the case, the seat
should be adjusted forward. See 'Position of the seat cushion'.

2.5.4 Comfort legrest with gas-spring angle adjustment
See fig. 010504050.
The comfort legrests are angle adjustable (A) independently
of each other. There is a gas spring on each legrest that
delivers enough force to allow the legrest to go up easily.
If you wish to adjust the angle of the legrest, move your leg
upward so that the legrest can move upward freely.
The adjustment of the angle of the legrests can be done as
follows:
• Push the handle (B) forward.
Now the gas spring is unlocked.
• Place your leg in the desired position and hold it until the
legrest comes against your leg.
• Release the handle.
In this position the legrest is fixed and you can allow your
leg to rest.
If the legrest is too high, do the following:
• Push the handle (B) forward.
Now the gas spring is unlocked.
• Push the legrest with a light pressure from your leg in the desired position and hold it in that position.
• Release the handle.
In this position the legrest is fixed and you can allow your leg to rest.

2.7 Adjusting the armrest
• See fig. 010508000.
The armrests provide support to the arms to limit the burden
on the shoulders. For this purpose the armrests can be
adjusted in terms of height (A) and depth (B).
The armrests can also be removed (C), to make space to
leave the wheelchair sideways, for example if you make a
transfer from a car seat.
By removing the armrests the wheelchair can be made
smaller, which and it simplifies transport.
