into a car).
Hazards while driving
WARNING
Pushing too fast
Tipping over, falling of the user due to caster wheel wobble
►The swivelling front wheels may begin to wobble at higher speeds and lead to an abrupt stop, causing the
rehab buggy to tip over forwards.
►Therefore, push the rehab buggy only at normal walking speed or engage the swivel lock (see section "Use").
It is not permissible to let go of the push bar while pushing the buggy or to thrust it away from you.
WARNING

downward or upward slopes, inclines or when overcoming obstacles.
►Always activate the anti-tipper (if any).
CAUTION
Improper loading
Tipping over, falling of the user due to shift in centre of gravity
►Please note that any additional load may have a negative impact on the stability of the rehab buggy.

5.3.2 Storage during extended disuse
The product must be stored in a dry place. Specific information for extended storage: see Page56.
It is not necessary to disassemble the product.
Maintain sufficient clearance from sources of heat. If the product is parked for an extended period of time or the
tyres overheat (e.g.in the vicinity of radiators or in case of exposure to strong sunlight behind glass), the tyres may
become permanently deformed.
Direct exposure to sunlight or UV radiation causes the tyres to age more quickly. As a result, the tread surface
hardens and corner pieces break out of the tread.
The tyres should be replaced every 2years regardless of wear and tear.
6 Preparing the product for use
6.1 Assembly
