Never leave the user in Meywalk®4 unattended!
Meywalk®4 is a therapy
product and should only be used as such!
•
The spring system of Meywalk®4 may involve a risk of the walking aid toppling
over if used by a very restless user.
•
Meywalk®4 rolls very easily and you should always consider potential dangers
that the user may get access to.
•
Always hold the tilt bar securely when a user is being lifted or lowered. Especially
when opening the tilt bar to lower the user, you must be prepared for the
upward force which gradually increases as the tilt bar rises.
•
Never let go of the tilt bar in the middle of a lifting or lowering operation, even
if taken by surprise by the heavy weight loading.
•
Be aware of the higher risk of squeezing your fingers when adjusting the
walker.
•
If fittings are removed, open tube ends may be revealed. These may have sharp
inner edges and may be dangerous for probing fingers. However, Meywalk®4
and its accessories are designed to avoid open ends! If a situation with open
tube ends should ever arise, it is recommended that they are closed off with
plastic plugs.
•
Polyurethane foam and foam tubing may not be consumed.
•
Please be aware that the upholstery heats up if placed in direct sun light. This
can cause skin damage if the upholstery is touched. Therefore, cover up the
upholstery parts or protect the walker from direct sun light.
•
The walker should only be used on level and firm flooring. Avoid loose surfaces
such as gravel, sand or foliage. Be aware of unevenness and holes in the flooring
as there is a risk of toppling over or getting stuck. Be especially careful on wet or
icy surfaces as the risk of slipping is considerably higher.
