• Avoid running against obstacles (steps, kerbs) without
braking or moving down steps.
• Avoid using on uneven, loose surfaces.
• An assisting person should be used if going over
obstacles (steps etc.). Use the tip assist (see overview of
wheelchair) to tip the wheelchair appropriately.
• When getting into or out of the wheelchair, apply both
locking brakes.
• Ensure a sufficient profile depth of your tyres.
• Observe the road traffic regulations when on the road.
• The passive lighting (reflectors) of your wheelchair must
always be visible to other road users.
• The locking brake must not be used for braking when
the wheelchair is moving.
• When braking at fast speeds or on long downward slo-
pes when using the push rims, fingers and hand surfa-
ces become hot. Caution! Danger of burning!
• We recommend that leather gloves are used for use out-
doors. These increase grip and protect fingers and
hands from dirt and injury at the same time.
