MANUAL DE USO Y MANTENIMIENTO
Ramps and Obstacles
Practice rolling over an obstacle and travelling up a slope with a technician, occupational
therapist or other professional health-care expert before attempting these moves on
your own. Have someone watch over you until you acquire the necessary skill. Do not
attempt to travel up or down slopes of more than 1 in 10 without assistance. Roll over
obstacles with both front wheels (or both rear wheels if you prefer to back over them)
at once. Ensure that the foot plates do not bump against the ground on uneven terrain.
Tyres
Ensure that the tyres maintain the recommended pressure on the sides. Tyres must be
properly inflated for the chair to manoeuvre correctly, and for the parking brake to
grip correctly.
Getting In and Out
First engage the parking brake. Do not use the footrests for support. Normally, the arm
rests should be folded back. Move in and out from the side or front, as recommended
by a technical advisor, occupational therapist or physiotherapist. Do not move in or out
of the chair without a helper on hand until you become skilled at doing so.
Safety in Vehicles
This wheelchair is not to be used as a seat in a vehicle of any kind. Users should be
moved into the seat of the vehicle itself.
Folding the Wheelchair
Mind your fingers when folding and unfolding the wheelchair: pull up along the seat
upholstery to fold the chair, and push on the supporting tubes under the seat to unfold
it.
Leaning Forwards or Back
Do not suddenly lean forwards or back, as this may cause the chair to overturn. If you
need to lean back, keep your back on the backrest at all times, and ensure that the
front wheels are pointing forwards. If you need to lean forward, centre the front
wheels, engage the parking brake and do not lean further than the arm rest.
Outdoor Use
Ensure that your manoeuvres can be seen at all times by pedestrians and especially by
drivers if you need to cross the road. Cross only at permitted points.
Maximum User Weight
This wheelchair can be used by persons weighing up to 110 kg.
