2.2.2 Intended purpose
The Jump alpha is a light and exible active wheelchair with a foldable aluminium frame de-
signed for indoor and outdoor use.
The wheelchair is designed solely for the transport of the person for whom it has been specially
adapted by a qualied specialist dealer.
Parents or authorised guardians must ensure that the information in the instructions for use is
followed for children or persons with impaired capacities.
The safest possible use of the aid is only possible on level, rm and dry ground with the antitipper
activated and with the help of an accompanying person.
Any use beyond this entails taking a variety of risks for which only the user themselves can
take responsibility. This requires sucient competence in identifying and avoiding hazards and
safe handling of the aid by the user! An increased hazard potential must be taken into account,
especially in wet conditions, ice, loose ground, slopes, obstacles, close proximity to water, road
trac, narrow spaces, etc.
Only use the wheelchair for its intended purpose. Any improper use of the product in-
volves considerable risks and will invalidate product liability.
The large variety of combinations for seat and wheel position means that settings
can be made that are outside the safety and application range.
2.2.3 Indication
Use is suitable for the following functional impairments, among others:
• (infantile) cerebral palsy
• spina bida,
• paralysis,
• multiple sclerosis,
• muscle disorders,
• impairments of the lower extremities,
• cardiovascular insuciency,
• rheumatic disorders.
2.2.4 Contraindication
Use is unsuitable for:
• serious tonus dysregulation (spasms etc.)
Active use is unsuitable for:
• cases of extremely restricted perception or impaired competence to act (active engage-
ment in road trac without an accompanying person is not possible).
We accept no liability for damage to persons or objects resulting from the circumstances
described above.

2.3 General safety information
Before each use, check:
• the frame, back tubes, add-on parts and accessories for visible damage, bending, cracks
or missing or loose screws,
• the wheels and quick-release axles for tightness,
• that the ination pressure and tyre tread are sucient,
• that the brakes are working properly,
• that the angle adjustment elements/ eccentric clamps are secure,
• that the seat plate/ back/ footrest are tightly locked,
• that the anti-tipper/seat and back belts are functioning correctly,
• that all previously dismantled components have been reconnected and rmly locked.
There is a risk of injury (e.g. due to crushing) from all rotating, swivelling or foldable com-
ponents, even during adjustment and repair work and during transport.
Danger of tipping over and overturning
Occupants must only get in and out of the wheelchair with the wheel lock and anti-tipper engaged.
The risks listed as examples below may occur when dismantling the following parts/
accessories:
• Cushions: lack of hygiene / pressure points
• Headrest: loss or missing headrest during transport
• Driving wheels: loss of the back (use of wheelchair not possible)
