5. Safety instructions
Please observe the following safety instructions:
•Before using the device for the first time, the User
Manual must be read completely in order to avoid hazards
or damage caused by maloperation. Before each use, check the de-
vice for visible damage or deficiencies. In case of malfunctions or
damage of any kind, the device must not be used. Regularly check
the suction foot for damage and wear; replace if necessary.
•The walking aid must be placed on the floor as vertically as possible
when walking. Therefore, never position the walking aid too far away
from the body or forward in the walking direction. Grasp the handle
completely and firmly with one hand. If possible, have an assistant
accompany and support you so that they can catch you if you fall.
•The walking aid must not be used for any other purpose. Therefore,
only use them to support your ability to walk and not, for example,
as a stand-up aid, for levering, moving furniture or other objects. Do
not attach any objects (bag, pouch, etc.) to the walking aid.
•After a long period of disuse: Have the walking aid checked by qual-
ified personnel or a specialist dealer. Do not perform any unauthor-
ised mechanical modifications (product liability!). Do not expose the
walking aid to sunlight for a longer period of time (at the window, at
the heater, in the car). Heat can lead to changes in material proper-
ties and durability.
•Attention, danger of slipping: Never walk with the walking aid on
snow or ice-covered ground without the anti-skid device (ice claw).
Be careful when walking over damp tiles, floors or crossing loose
•carpeting. Never clean handles or suction caps with substances
containing oil. Be careful with unevenness, holes in the ground and
loose subsoil, because the walking aid can slip away unexpectedly
or sink in.
