that they get in and out on their own by using the
footrest. In this case consider the following:
turn casters forward,
secure the wheelchair from rolling away,
activate tilt safety,
be ready to give assistance.
2.2.2 Starting and slowing down
ATTENTION
Avoid jerky starts. The wheelchair could tip
backwards. When possible, lean your upper body
forward when starting. With children we always
recommend to use the tilt safety whenever possible.
ATTENTION
In order to brake on a hill, an essentially higher
amount of strength is needed. Only go slow enough
on hills that the wheelchair can be brought to a full
stop at anytime.
ATTENTION
Hand rims heat from friction. If necessary, use
leather gloves as used for cycling but NEVER wool
gloves.
2.2.3 Risk of tipping and flipping over

2.4 Overcoming obstacles
A WHEELCHAIR IS NOT FOR CARRYING. For this
reason avoid stairs! Whenever possible, ramps
or elevators should be used to overcome height
differences.
ATTENTION
BE SURE THAT THE ECCENTRIC CLAMP OF THE
ANGLE ADJUSTABLE PUSH HANDLES ARE CLOSED
TIGHTLY AND OPERATIVE.
ATTENTION
NEVER CARRY THE WHEELCHAIR BY THE SEAT
SHELL, THE LEG SUPPORT AND/OR THE FOOT
REST/S.
ATTENTION
(1) NEVER overcome stairs etc. with the wheelchair
ALONE.
ATTENTION
(2+3) Only overcome stairs with the help of two
experienced people. For this, the anti-tipper must
be deactivated. Be sure that the wheelchair is only
held by metal parts which are bolted securely to
the frame.
ATTENTION
Do not under any circumstance use escalators,
not even with a carer. Shopping malls and public
buildings with escalators always have elevators as
well.
ATTENTION
Do not drive towards, for example, curbsides
without braking, RISK OF TIPPING OVER!
ATTENTION
(4) In order to overcome height differences or when
using an elevator and lifting platform you generally
have to deactivate the anti-tipper. You could
become restricted in maneuverability.
(5) In order to overcome curbsides your carer should
slightly tilt you backwards, lift both casters over the
threshold and then, with the rear wheels, carefully
push the wheelchair over the edge. The anti-tipper
must be deactivated.
When driving off of the curb please proceed
correspondingly, but consider:
ATTENTION
For this, the casters must stay in the air until the
rear wheels are over the threshold. DO NOT put the
casters down rst, RISK OF FLIPPING OVER.
2.5 Wheel lock
ATTENTION
THE KNEE LEVER BRAKES ARE ONLY THERE TO PUT
THE WHEELS IN A RESTING POSITION. THEY ARE
NOT DESIGNED TO SLOW THE WHEELCHAIR DOWN
WHILE DRIVING.
With a service brake, for example a drum brake,
controlled braking is possible.
ATTENTION
Before each (longer) drive make sure to check
• the correct tire pressure (information is
on the outer tire)
• and if need be, the brake pressing bolt.
(4)(3)
(5)
(1) (2)

User Manual

ATTENTION
Cable controls are high-maintenance! The clamp
screws on the Bowden cable need to be checked on
a regular basis and retuned if necessary.
Check the functionality of the brakes regularly! The
wheelchair with passenger (highest loading) must
safely stand still with pulled brake on a ramp with
7° (=12,3%) descent.
ATTENTION
Dirt, wetness, ice, snow, mud etc. can impair the
brake force of the wheel lock.
ATTENTION
Do not make repairs on the wheel lock yourself.
Ask your rehab technician.
2.6 Anti-tipper
ATTENTION
We recommend inexperienced and young users to
use the anti-tipper whenever possible.
ATTENTION
Deactivate the anti-tipper when overcoming height
differences by elevators or lifting platforms.
(1+2) In order to activate the anti-tipper, secure the
wheelchair from rolling away, push the foot lever (A) of
the anti-tipper down and turn it 180° on its own axis
until it snaps back into the guide slot.
2.7 Casters
ATTENTION
Casters which are not correctly adjusted or driving
too fast, especially downhill, can cause the casters
to dangerously ap back and forth.
�INDICATION
Clean the axes and the axle holder regularly,
removing lint and dirt.
INFORMATION
After every change on the rear wheels the casters
must be newly adjusted. Let this be done by an
experienced rehab technician.
�INDICATION
When transferring in and out of the wheelchair turn
the casters forward for greater stability by slightly
moving the wheelchair backwards.
2.8 Loading and transporting
For the transport of you wheelchair in a car please
consider the following points:
• If necessary ip the anti-tipper inwards.
• If necessary remove the push handle/s or
handle bars.
• If possible remove the hollow molded back
and fold the back down.
• If possible fold the wheelchair and close it
securely with the folding xture strap.
• Unlock the wheel lock and remove the rear
wheels.
• Secure the wheelchair with tension belts in
the vehicle.
• The tension belts can only be secured on xed
frame parts. Foot rests, side guards, back or
seat adapters are not suitable for this.
• Secure all removed parts of the wheelchair in
the vehicle so that they cannot hurt anyone in
case of sudden braking.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of getting hurt from loose, ying
objects such as leg supports, seat shells, wheels,
sticks, bags etc.
Inform yourself by your car salesman about safely
securing the wheelchair with lashing eyes or other
suitable safety measures in your vehicle before
transporting the wheelchair.

2.8.1 Transport in public transportation
In every public transportation, a spot must be
provided to place the wheelchair according to the EG-
guideline 2001/85/EG.
ATTENTION
The spot in public transportation is only arranged
for EMPTY wheelchairs.
ATTENTION
Place the wheelchair in the provided area opposite
the driving direction so that the backrest and a side
guard rest securely on the edge of the provided
area.
• The wheelchair is not allowed to shift in case
of an accident.
• Close the wheel lock.
• During the drive leave the wheelchair and seat
yourself in the provided seat next to the spot
for your wheelchair.
• If available, use the seat belt!
Let someone help you get in and out of the public
transportation,
• so that you don’t get stuck in the crack be-
tween the door and the sidewalk,
• so that you don’t panic,
• so that your claim for the marked seat possi-
bly gets more emphasis,
• so that you can be helped getting into the
seat and tying down the wheelchair.
2.8.2 Transport in other vehicles
Wheelchairs can never reach the stabile features of a
rmly mounted car seat because of their purpose and
light build.
ATTENTION
Thus, we recommend you to NOT use the
wheelchair as a seat while transporting in a
vehicle.
READ
Read our info-brochure “Crash Test ISO 7176-19”.
Here, the potential dangers and regulations of the
ISO 7176-19 are described.
ATTENTION
Only wheelchairs that have successfully passed a
dynamic crash test according to ISO 7176-19 are
allowed to be used as a seat in a vehicle.
Our successfully tested wheelchairs are provided with
this international symbol on the type sign
and are additionally marked on our order form with
our “crash test button”.
If necessary, inform
yourself by your
retailer or under www.
sorgrollstuhltechnik.de, if
your model is approved as
a seat in a vehicle.
2.9 Other risks
�INDICATION
Avoid direct sunrays.
Dark parts on the
wheelchair can heat
quickly and can possibly
cause burns.
ATTENTION
FIRE RISK from the
textile parts (seat shell covering or plastic parts).
Keep sources of ignition away from the wheelchair.
�INDICATION
For sensitive skin we recommend to wear gloves as
used for cycling (nger stalls with a leather inner
surface----but NEVER wool gloves)
ATTENTION
RISK OF HAND INJURY from turning parts. Do not
grab in between the spokes of the rear wheel or
between the rear wheel and the knee lever brake.
ATTENTION
Do not use the wheelchair in damp rooms or drive
in salt water with it. Important parts may corrode
and not work properly anymore, whereby the driving
qualities or the lifespan of the wheelchair are
negatively inuenced.

3. Handling
3.1 Wheels
3.1.1 Quick-release axle wheels
All of our rear and 12” wheels are equipped with
quick-release axles for fast removal.
(1+2) To release or apply the quick-release axle, push
the lock button (A) in the middle of the wheel hub.
After applying, the lock ball (3) must be completely
in sight at the end of the quick-release axle and the
wheels should not be able to be removed.
Be sure to regard the following points:
• Wheels are turning parts and can cause
injuries to ngers.
• After fastening the wheels check the
secure hold of the quick-release axle.
• (3) Check the small lock ball (tension
spring) (A) at the end of the quick-release
axle to be sure it functions properly
• Verify the air pressure of the rear wheel
regularly to ensure functionality!
• Verify the tight position of the spokes
regularly (according to maintenance plan).
ATTENTION
The position of the rear wheel in the axle plate
can only be changed by a qualied retailer. This
inuences the centre of gravity (tilting) and the
proper functioning of the knee lever brake.
Do not place ngers between the rear wheel and
the hand rim. (Grooved wheels with integrated hand
rims make this impossible.)
Take caution by tight passages: You can bruise your
ngers (4) and/or damage the hand rims (5)!
When braking with the hand rims heat occurs
through friction. If need be, wear leather gloves as
used for cycling.
Check the screws and the secure placement of the
hand rims regularly, according to the maintenance
plan.
Check the secure placement of the spokes
regularly, according to the maintenance plan.
Through strong sunbeams the tires can heat up to
over 42° and you could burn yourself.
