Introduction
We congratulate you on the purchase of your new TWISTER! By choosing this
wheelchair, you have become the owner of a high quality product and we thank
you for your confidence. Before putting your wheelchair into operation, please
read these operating instructions carefully in order to familiarise yourself with the
great number of functions. If you are going to use the TWISTER with an attendant,
please make sure that this person, too, is familiar with the safety and warning
information.
The advantages at a glance:
•The
modular construction of the TWISTER makes it possible to adapt the
wheelchair to your individual requirements, e.g., upon request, the TWISTER is
available with front wheel or back wheel drive. In addition, there are numerous
options, such as the lifter module, electrical seat angle and back rest inclinati-
on adjustment, lighting for drives in public road traffic, and many things more!
•The
compact construction ensures manoeuvrability even in the smallest of
places.
•The TWISTER is collapsible and can thus be transported in a normal passen-
ger car.
•The
TWISTER offers a special getting-ooff aid by the combined use of a lifter
and the seat tilting option.
These operation instructions will familiarise you with the functions of the TWISTER.
They include information and data in relation to:
•Safety
