6. Summary of operating instructions for

optimal safety

Maximum user’s recommended weight : 120 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 rea-

ching 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 case to slow down the wheelchair or as support during 

transfers.

-

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

using an assistant.

-

Do not carry in the stairways or escalator, user sited in the 

wheelchair whith only one attendant; this may cause serious 

injury.

-

Do not use the wheelchair unless it has the proper tyre 

pressure 

(front =2,5 KPa, Rear = 3,5 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.

-

To avoid injury, keep your fingers away from mobile parts 

(armrests, folding system, legrests/footrests), and maintain 

good posture before lifting the wheelchair.

!

Avoid riding 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.
