PROTEGO / SL
•
When adjusting the wheelchair and selecting the desired positions
of the chair, please be aware of the risk that body parts can
get trapped in between parts of the wheelchair. Make sure that
clothing and body parts do not get caught in between the moving
parts.
•
Please seek the help of an assistant person when going over
obstacles, steps, etc. Use the tip assist (see overview of wheelchair)
to tip the wheelchair appropriately.
•
Steps and larger obstacles may only be crossed with the help of at
least two assisting persons. For this, use lifting points 1 and 2 (see
overview of the wheelchair). If equipment such as ramps, lifts or
step climbing aids are available, these should be used.
•
When driving on an incline or slope, it is necessary to be aware that
a risk of tipping exists even at low angles, depending on the axle
position setting. The use of anti-tippers is highly recommended.
•
Avoid running against obstacles (steps, kerbs) without braking or
moving down steps.
•
Avoid using on uneven, loose surfaces.
•
When getting into or out of the wheelchair, apply both parking
brakes.
•
All road traffic regulations must be observed when driving on
public roads.
•
The passive lighting (reflectors) of your wheelchair must always be
visible to other road users.
•
You must not use the handbrake to stop the wheelchair.
•
When braking at fast speeds or on long downward slopes when
using the push rims, fingers and hand surfaces become hot.
Caution! Danger of burning!
•
We recommend leather gloves for outdoor use. These increase grip
and protect fingers and hands from dirt and injury at the same
time.
•
Please note, the upholstery will heat up if directly exposed to
sunlight and may cause injuries to your skin when touched.
Therefore you should cover these parts or protect the wheelchair
from exposure to direct sunlight.
•
Please note, the frame and pad parts may cool down significantly
in winter. If possible, do not park the wheelchair outdoors in cold
weather..
•
The dimensions of the wheelchair exceed the recommended values
of DIN EN 12183:2014/A.1 and PRM TSI Annex M in terms of size
and manoeuvring range.
•
When transferring between wheelchair and bed, always make sure:
•
both parking brakes are applied
•
the side part on the side for getting in/out is swung backwards.
•
the foot plates (for getting in/out) are folded upwards, swing
inwards/outwards or are removed.
2.1. Anti-tipping protectors
The anti-tipping protectors prevent the wheelchair from tipping over
backwards. Please note that using the wheelchair with the anti-tipping
protectors on areas with stairs, lifting platforms and ramps is only
possible to a limited extent. Make sure that there is adequate distance
at the top, bottom and sides.
2.2. Use on public roads
The wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use. Please keep in
mind that you are using public roads and therefore please observe all
road traffic regulations.
Do not endanger other road users through inconsiderate driving,
especially on walkways.
