2.7 General settings
To use the
freddy.
seat pan subframe
freddy.
correctly, it needs to be set
right. Some important points are as follows:
• With the seat angled more, the rear wheels should be moved
back – and moved forwards with a slight tilt.
• The axle of the rear wheels are positioned vertically under the hip joint
for persons driving themselves.
2.8 Utilisation training
Carry out the first driving attempts on an even surface without a passenger
until you have got used to the
freddy.
seat pan subframe. You must take
extra care when driving hills and slopes or when overcoming obstacles.
Use the tip protectors for initial uses (optional).
2.9 Climbing stairs
Stairs may only be attempted with a
minimum of 2 accompanying persons.
The helpers may only hold the frame
and fixed frame parts without lifting the
freddy.
(carrying)!
When driving up stairs, the helper at
the back holds the chassis on the fi-
xed handles and pulls over the steps
and the helper at the bottom holds
the front frame tubes and stabilises the
position. They also press the chassis
into the steps parallel to the floor.
Never carry the freddy. seat pan subframe whilst the user is sitting in it –
risk of accidents!
When lowering, the bottom helper brakes by pressing the chassis in stages.
The top helper provides counterpressure on the push bars and holds the
chassis in the right position. The chassis must be rolled down step by step.
Please check whether the groups on the back tubes are locked in place!
Bags and objects must be removed from the backrest to avoid hindering
the accompanying person.
