2 Safety Instructions
2.1 GENERAL INDICATIONS
ATTENTION
The risk of injuries occurs on all rotatable and
turning parts. This also goes for adjustment and
repair work.
READ
Before use read this user manual thoroughly
ATTENTION
The wheelchair can only be used according to its
specications. Any other use or misuse can contain
serious risks for you and your surroundings. Also
the guarantee or product liability can be terminated
in case of misuse.
Slowly familiarize yourself with the wheelchair at the
rst use and after adjustment work has been done.
First practice on level grounds with the help of an
experienced person. Only then are you allowed to try
uphill and downhill with the help of an experienced
person.
From putting on and taking off the accessories the
measurements of the wheelchair, its weight, the
handling and the tilting changes.
Even with a back tilt >90° the wheelchair can still tip
backwards on a at surface. This also applies, to a
special degree, to a tilted seating position.
ATTENTION
The wheelchair can ONLY BE USED, in a TILTED
POSITION and/or a BACK TILT >90°, when the ANTI-
TIPPER IS ACTIVATED.
ATTENTION
All building alterations on your wheelchair must be
coordinated and made by the manufacturer or your

therapeutically, 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.

greater than 6% with assistance.
ATTENTION
NEVER go on ramps or hills WITHOUT the anti-tipper
activated.
ATTENTION
(2) NEVER drive on inclines, descents or curbs
sideways to the road, you may tip over.
2.3 GRABBING OBJECTS
Grabbing objects requires much practice and
experience. Slowly familiarize yourself, with the help
of an experienced and strong person, with this action.
(3) In order to grab objects from the side/in front of
the wheelchair
secure the wheelchair from rolling away,
do not lean too far out of the wheelchair,
hold on (if possible) with your free hand,
when possible, try not to put all your weight in
the direction of where you are reaching.
(4) If you have to lean forward out of the wheelchair,
NEVER STRAIN THE LEG REST, DANGER OF
FLIPPING OVER!
For a better position turn the casters forward by
driving back a little bit,
put both feet (if possible) on the ground,
preferably as far from you as possible,
secure yourself (if possible) with your free hand,
preferably far back,
try to put your weight in the direction of where
you are reaching as little as possible.

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, DANGER 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, DANGER 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 necessary 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

3.7 LEG SUPPORTS
(3) On all leg supports you can adjust:
• the horizontal distance to the seat,
• the vertical distance between top edge of the
seat and the footrest (=lower leg length)
• and the angle to the footrest.
Have all these points/factors adjusted to your
individual measurements by your rehab technician.
With an ideal adjustment there is space between
thigh and seat in the area of the back of the knee.
(This is important for the unhindered circulation of
blood and lymph.)
A too high adjusted footrest can result in a bent
pose in the pelvic area.
A too low adjusted footrest can result in jams in the
back of the knees and can cause spasms.
ATTENTION
NEVER LIFT OR CARRY THE WHEELCHAIR WITH A
PASSANGER BY THE FOOTREST/S:
�INDICATION
For safety reasons, have all adjustment and
alignment work done by your rehab technician.
3.5.3 Angle adjustment push bail
Adjusting the angle on the push bail:
• (1) push the locking knobs (A) on both sides at
the same time,
• adjust the bail, while pushing the locking
knobs (A), in the desired position
• and then let go of the locking knobs (A). They
stick out about 1 cm over the adjustment
element.
ATTENTION
After adjusting, be sure that the locking knobs have
locked in place in the adjustment element. If the
push bail is pushed slightly up or down they usually
lock into place by themselves and stick out from the
adjustment element about 10 mm.
3.5.4 Angle adjustment one-hand push handle
Adjusting the angle on a one-hand push handle:
• (2) loosen eccentric clamps (A),
