General Safety Notes and Driving Limits
WARNINGS!
The construction of this wheelchair, as well as the
technology used, are designed to give the maximum level
of safety. International safety standards currently in force
have either been fulfilled or exceeded in parts.
Nevertheless, users may put themselves at risk by
improperly using their wheelchairs. For your own safety,
the following rules must be observed.
Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments
increase the risk of accident. As a wheelchair user, you
are also part of the daily traffic on streets and pavements,
just like anyone else. We would like to remind you that
you must comply with any relevant traffic laws and
pedestrian restrictions.
Be careful during your first ride in this wheelchair. Get to
know your wheelchair.
Before each use, the following should be checked:
• Quick-release axles on the rear wheels
• Velcro on seats and backrests
• Tyres, tyre pressure, and wheel locks.
Before changing any of the adjustments of this
wheelchair, it is important to read the
corresponding section of the Owner’s manual.
WARNINGS!
Maximum weight limit: 125 kg. Please note the•
weight information for lighter weight options,
which are quoted separately.
This wheelchair should be used exclusively to convey •
one person at a time. Any other use does not comply
with the intended purpose.
Your wheelchair has not been designed for •
transportation in a vehicle. DO NOT sit on the
wheelchair during any transportation in a vehicle;
always use a properly secured vehicle seat!!
Your wheelchair is not designed to be a seat during •
transportation.
Only permanently installed seats and safety belts will •
offer sufficient protection in hazardous situations.
When vehicles are in motion, unoccupied wheelchairs •
should be secured using appropriate means.
Before changing any of the adjustments of this •
wheelchair, it is important to read the corresponding
section of the Owner’s manual.
It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could •
cause this wheelchair to tip over, especially when
riding uphill or downhill (Fig. A).
When riding over a step or up an incline frontally, the •
body should be leaning forward, (Fig. A).
DANGER!
Secure your wheelchair on uneven ground or when •
transferring (e. g. into a car) by using the brakes.
For thigh amputees you must position the rear wheels •
towards the back and/or use anti-tip tubes.
With active centre of gravity adjustment, the •
wheelchair may tip over, so anti-tip tubes should be
used.
This product has been tested to a maximum speed of •
10kph. At higher speeds, depending on the
configuration and/or physique/physical capabilities of
the user, there may be unexpected castor wobble.
This can lead to injury of the user.
Before setting off, check that your tyre pressure is •
correct. The correct tyre pressure is printed on the
edge of the wheel, for rear wheels it should be at
least 3.5 bar (350 kPa).
All brakes will only work if there is sufficient tyre •
pressure and if the correct setting has been made
(see the Chapter on "Brakes").
Fig. A

DANGER!
The wheel locks are not intended to brake your
wheelchair whilst it is moving. They are only there to
ensure that your wheelchair does not begin rolling away.
When you stop on uneven ground/floors, you should
always use the wheel locks to prevent such rolling.
Always apply both wheel locks; otherwise, your
wheelchair could tip over.
CAUTION!
The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as
brakes for a moving wheelchair.
Always make use of elevators and ramps. If these are not
available, you should request the help of an attendant.
They should only grip the wheelchair at securely mounted
parts. If anti-tip tubes are fitted these must be folded
away. A wheelchair should never be lifted with an
occupant; it should only be pushed.
DANGER!
Do not lift or carry the wheelchair by the backtubes or •
the pushhandles.
If the seat and back sling are damaged, you must •
replace them immediately.
Be careful with fire, in particular with lighted •
cigarettes, seat and back slings can catch fire. seat
and back slings can catch fire.
To avoid injuries to the hand when operating the •
wheelchair, grip between the rear wheel and the
brake.
Always make sure that the quick-release axles on the •
rear wheels are set properly. If the button on the
quick-release axle is not pressed in, the rear wheel
cannot be removed.
DANGER!
In particular when using lightweight metal handrims, •
fingers will easily become hot when braking from a
high speed or on long inclines.
If the wheelchair is subject to direct sunlight for a long •
period of time, then parts of the wheelchair (e.g.
frame, legrests, brakes and side guard) may become
hot (>41°C).
WARNINGS!
When using the chair outside, always wear leather •
gloves which will increase your grip and protect the
fingers from dirt and overheating.
The effect of the brake as well as the general driving •
characteristics are dependent on tyre pressure. The
wheelchair is significantly lighter and easier to
manoeuvre when the rear wheels are pumped up
correctly and both wheels have the same pressure.
Make sure that your tyres have sufficient tread!•
Please note that you are subject to any and all traffic •
laws when driving in public traffic.
Before using the wheelchair for the first time, the user •
must receive the necessary instruction.
When it is dark, please wear light clothing or clothing •
with reflectors, so that you can be seen more easily.
Make sure that the reflectors on the side and back of
the wheelchair are clearly visible. We would also
recommend that you fit an active light.
Do not use the wheelchair on slopes > 10°.•
Do not use the wheelchair on muddy or icy ground.•
Only use the wheelchair in areas which are permitted •
for pedestrians.
When working with or making adjustments to your •
wheelchair, be careful not to get your fingers caught!
Operating conditions:
The wheelchair can be used indoors as well as outdoors
on dry, relatively smooth surfaces.
WARNING!
The wheelchair should not be used in heavy rain, snow,
slippery, or unsound surfaces.

Handling
Folding up
First remove the seat cushion from the wheelchair and
flip up the (platform) footplate. Take hold of the sling or
the seat tubes (Fig. 1) in the middle, from the back, and
pull it upwards until the folding bracket (Fig. 2) clicks into
place.
Transport
To move the mobility aid, the folded wheelchair should be
lifted by holding the front part of the cross-brace and the
push handles.
Unfolding
Push the release lever of the folding bracket (Fig. 3)
downwards and push both frame halves apart. Then
press on the seat tube (see figure). Your wheelchair is
then unfolded. Now snap the seat tubing into position in
the seat saddle. This can be facilitated by slightly tipping
your wheelchair to the side, as this means that the weight
is taken off one of the rear wheels. Be careful not to get
your fingers caught in the cross-tube assembly. Fit
the seat cushion. (Fig. 4).
Getting into your wheelchair on your own (Fig.5)
• Push the wheelchair to a wall or a solid piece of
furniture;
• Apply the brakes;
• Flip the footplates up;
• The user can lower themselves into the wheelchair;
• Fold the foot plates back downwards and position your
feet in front of the heel loops.
Getting out of your wheelchair on your own (Fig.6)
• Apply the brakes;
• Fold the footplates upwards with your foot;
• With one hand on the armrest, the person should bend
slightly forward, to bring the body weight to the front of
the seat, and then with both feet firmly on the ground
and one foot behind the other, push up into the upright
position.

Quick Release Wheels
Quick-release axles on rear wheel
The rear wheels are equipped with quick-release axles.
The wheels can then be fitted or removed without using
tools. To remove a wheel, simply depress the quick-
release button on the axle and pull the wheel off the axle.
(Fig. 7).
CAUTION!
Hold the quick-release button on the axle depressed
when inserting the axle into the frame to mount the
rear wheels. Release the button to lock the axle in
place. The quick-release button should snap back to
its original position.
Options - Step Tubes
Step tubes are used by attendants to push a wheelchair
over an obstacle. Simply step on the tube to push a
wheelchair, for example, over a kerb or step, (Fig.8).
Options - Brakes
CAUTION!
Braking power can be
affected by incorrect fitting and
adjustment of the brakes, as well as tyre pressure which is
too low.
Wheel locks
Your wheelchair is equipped with two wheel locks. They
are applied directly against the tyres. To engage, press
both brake levers forward against the stops. To release
the locks, pull the levers back to their original positions.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• Wet tyres
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks.
The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as
brakes for a moving wheelchair. The wheel locks should
therefore never be used to brake a moving wheelchair.
Always use your hands for braking. Make sure that the
gap between the tyres and wheel locks complies with
given specifications. To readjust, loosen the screw and set
the appropriate gap. Then re-tighten the screw
(Fig. 9 and 10).
CAUTION!
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel
lock gap and re-adjust if necessary.

Brake Lever Extension
The longer lever helps to minimise the effort needed to set
the wheel locks.
The brake lever extension is screwed to the brakes. By
raising this, it can be flipped forward. (Fig. 11).
CAUTION!
Mounting the wheel lock too close toward the wheel
will result in a higher effort to operate. This might
cause the wheel lock extension lever to break!
WARNING!
Leaning onto the brake lever extension while transferring
will cause the lever to break! Splashing water from tyres
might cause the wheel lock to malfunction.
Compact Brakes
Compact brakes are underneath the seat sling and are
operated by pulling the brakes towards the rear, in the
direction of the tyre. For the brakes to operate correctly,
they must be pulled fully against the stops, (Fig.12).
CAUTION!
Incorrect mounting of the wheel lock will result in a higher
effort to operate.
This might cause the brake lever extension to break!
Drum Brakes
Drum brakes permit safe and convenient braking for an
attendant.
They can also be applied with the aid of a locking lever
The locking lever must snap audibly into place.
Performance of the drum brakes is not dependant on the
air pressure inside the tyres.
The wheelchair cannot be pushed when the drum brakes
are set.
WARNING!
Drum brakes should only be adjusted by authorised
dealers.

Options - Castors
Setting the Castor, Castor adapter & Castor
fork
If the wheelchair veers slightly to the right or left, or the
castors flutter, it may be caused by one or more of the
following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set
properly.
• The castor angle has not been adjusted properly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; the
wheels do not turn sufficiently freely.
The optimum adjustment of the castors is required so that
the wheelchair runs in a straight line.
Castors should always be adjusted by an authorised
dealer. The castor plates must be re-adjusted, and the
wheel receiver must be checked every time the rear wheel
position has been altered.
Adjusting the castor
To ensure that both forks are set parallel, simply count the
teeth visible on both sides. After setting the castor fork,
the teeth will guarantee a secure position, allowing an
adjustment of 16° in 2° increments, (Fig. 30).
Use the flat side on the front of the castor fork to check for
a right-angled position to the ground.
The patented design allows the castor fork to be turned,
so that it can be reset at right-angles to the ground when
the seat angle is changed.
Setting the directional stability
Release the Allen screws (1) on the underside of the fork.
You can then remove the screws (2). You can now turn
the black socket (3) left or right.
Left – chair pulls to the left
Right – chair pulls to the right
Then re-tighten the screw (2). Please set a 90° angle from
the fork to the floor.
Then re-tighten the screw (1). (Fig. 31).

Options - Wheel Alignment
Adjusting the wheel alignment
NOTE: To achieve the very best movement, the rear
wheels must be adjusted to their optimum position, which
means correctly adjusting the wheel alignment. To do this,
measure the distance between both wheels front and rear
to ensure that they are parallel to one another. The
difference between both measurements should not
exceed 5 mm. The parallel setting can be adjusted by
loosening the screws (1) and rotating the axle adapter (2).
When finished, make sure that all screws have been
properly tightened, (Fig.36). See the page on torque.
WARNING!
Be careful, there is a risk of tipping when adjusting the
centre of gravity of the seat!
Adjusting the rear wheelbase width
The rear wheelbase is defined as the distance between
the upper side of the rear wheels and the backrest tubes
and is factory set (1.25 cm). This must be increased if
more space is to be created between the tyres and the
optional height-adjustable armrests.
NOTE: When adjusting the rear wheelbase, set first one
wheel and then the other. When adjusting the rear
wheelbase, move the axle adapter (3) in a telescopic
manner into the axle bracket (2) or out of the camber
tube. Loosen the screw (1) on the rear axle bracket. Move
the axle adapter in or out, until the desired wheelbase is
achieved. Tighten the screws to 7 Nm. Repeat
the procedure on the right side of the wheelchair and set
the same gap on the left side, (Fig. 36 - 37).

Options - Side-guards (continued)
Side-guard with clothes protector
The clothes protector prevents clothes getting dirty from
spray water, (Fig.42).
You can set the position in relation to the rear wheel by
moving the side-guard.
To do this, remove the screws (1 and 2).
After setting to the desired position, re-tighten the screws
(see the page on torque).
WARNING!
Neither the side-guards nor the armrests are to be used
for lifting or carrying the wheelchair.
Options - Push Handles
Height-adjustable push handles
These handles are secured with pins to prevent them from
sliding out unintentionally. By releasing the tension lever
(1) the height of the push handles (2) can be set
individually. If the lever is moved, listen to make sure that
it clicks into place. The push handle can easily be set to
the desired position. The nut on the tension lever
determines how tightly the push handles are clamped into
place. If the nut is loose after adjusting the tension lever,
the push handle will also be too loose. Turn the push
handle from side to side before use to make sure that it is
clamped into place securely. After adjusting the handle
height, always clamp the tension lever (1) securely into
place. If the lever is not secure, injuries could result when
ascending stairs. (Fig. 43).
CAUTION!
If the height-adjustable push handles are not fitted
properly, there is a risk that these will develop "play" or
that they move out of position. Please make sure that the
relevant screws are tightened correctly.
Folding push-handles
If the folding push handles are not required, they can be
flipped downwards by pushing the button (1). When they
are required again, flip the push handles up, until they
click into place. (Fig. 44).
