Safety informations
For the transport in vehicles, you must
leave the wheelchair and sit in a suit-
able seat in the vehicle. The wheel-
chair is not designed to withstand the
forces which are generated in acci-
dents, which exposes the user to con-
siderable risks.
s
Use the front and rear frame tubes
(fig. 36) for shunting, e.g. lifting
the wheelchair and not the back
support, arm supports or leg sup-
ports!
!
Attention:
The wheelchair must be switched
off and the parking brake engaged
before lifting! Danger of squash-
ing hands inserted into spokes!

see section entitled < ARMRESTS >
3. Removing the back

Assembling the wheelchair
The parts detached for the transport
must be carefully stowed and careful-
ly attached again before the next jour-
ney!
