6. Operating instructions for optimal safety

-

Maximum user’s recommended weight : 127 kg.

-

Do not attempt to reach objects if you have to move 

forward in the seat.

-

Do not attempt to pick up objects from the floor by 

reaching down between your knees.

-

Do not lean over the top of the upholstery back to reach 

objects located behind you : this may cause you to tip over

-

Always engage both manual brakes simultaneously.

-

Manual brakes are parking brakes : they must not be used in 

any way to slow down the wheelchair or as support during 

transfers.

-

Do not tilt the wheelchair (down kerbs or steps) without 

using an assistant. Press down on the lower tube of the frame 

as well as pulling on the push handles

-

Do not carry the wheelchair up or down stairway or 

escalators with the user seated in the wheelchair, with only 

one attendant. This may cause serious injury.

-

Do not use the wheelchair unless it has the proper tyre 

pressure (front = 250 kPa, rear = 350 kPa).

-

Do not overinflate the tyres : this may cause the tyres to 

explode and cause bodily harm.

-

Do not expose the wheelchair to a temperature higher than 

40°C. (eg : behind the rear window of a car)

-

To avoid injury, keep your fingers away from mobile parts 

(armrests, folding system, legrests/footrests), and maintain 
good posture before lifting the wheelchair.

  Warning : 

Avoid operating on wet areas as well as 

gravel, grass, etc. (sand and sea water particularly damage ball 

bearings). When using the wheelchair inside, we recommend 

using solid tyre castors, especially when riding on carpet.
