SPECIFICATIONS
The wheelchair was developed for adults.
The wheelchair solely serves to transport
one person in the seat and not as a hauling
aid, transporter or similar.
USE
Do not reach into the spokes or grip the
tyres of the rotating wheels. – Danger of
injury!
Do not reach into the space between the
pressure brake and the tyre when propel-
ling the wheelchair. – Danger of injury!
Avoid a jerky propulsion of your wheel-
chair. – Danger of tipping over or tilting!
Do not use the wheelchair without at-
tached leg supports and arm support
units!
The wheelchair is applicable on level, firm
surfaces and can be used as follows:
– for indoors (e.g. apartment, day care),
– outdoors (e.g. paved paths in parks),
– as a companion on tours (e.g. in a bus
or train).
☞Your wheelchair with a seat width of
more than 500 mm is not suited for
transport in a train.
– Never expose the wheelchair to ex-
treme temperatures and damaging
environmental conditions, such as sun-
light, extreme cold or salty water.
– Sand and other dirt particles can seize
on moving parts and render them with-
out function.
– Use only the handrims on the drive
wheels to propel your wheelchair.
You must not let yourself be carried in your
wheelchair by having the wheelchair lifted
from the floor. Parts that are not securely
fixed, e.g. side elements or leg supports, can
come away and thus cause an accident.
☞The wheelchair is a vehicle and not a
carrying device.
Only apply the wheelchair within the
scope of the specifications and limitation
described in chapter Technical data on
page 39.
WHEELCHAIR FOLDING/
UNFOLDING/CARRYING
You wheelchair can be folded without the
aid of tools.
1. Remove the seat cushion, if applicable.
2. Lift up the footplates or remove the leg
supports.
3. Pull the seat belt upward in the centre
of the front and back.
4. If necessary remove the connection
rod of the double handrim drive or the
push bar.
Your wheelchair can be carried without dif-
ficulty when folded.
For this, push one lower arm from the front
under the upward folded seat belt. Place
other hand underneath the rear seat fold for
support.
Lift the wheelchair to horizontal position.
Tip the wheelchair slightly to one side in
order to make the unfolding easier. At the
side resting on the floor, press the seat tube
down to the end stop.
☞You may need to press down both seat
tubes with the hands in order to do this.
☞Ensure that the seat tube sits securely
on the support surface.

Always have adaptation and adjustment
work carried out by a specialist dealer.
The wheelchair offers manifold adjustment
possibilities to individual vital statistics.
The wheelchair should be adapted to your
needs by a specialist dealer before the first
use. The adaptation will take into account
the driving experience, the physical limits of
the user and the main place of use of the
wheelchair.
☞We recommend a regular control if
the wheelchair adjustment in order to
ensure a long-term optimal provision
even with changing illness/handicap
patterns of the user.
REINSTALLMENT
The wheelchair is suited for reinstallment.
With the building block system the wheel-
chair can be fit to accommodate different
handicaps body sizes. Before reimplemen-
tation the wheelchair is to undergo a com-
plete inspection.
☞Hygienical measures required for rein-
stallment are to be carried out accord-
ing to a validated hygienic plan and
must include disinfection.
LIFE SPAN
We expect an average life span of about
4 years for this product, as far as the product
is applied for its designated purpose and all
maintenance and service guidelines. The life
span of your product depends upon the fre-
quency of use, the application environment
and care. The implementation of spare parts
can prolong the life span of the product. As
a rule spare parts are available up to 5 years
after production is discontinued.
☞The indicated lifespan does not consti-
tute additional guarantee.
