SAFETY
GENERAL:
Indications:
An electrically powered wheelchair is a quality of life device designed to improve mobility.
Contraindications:
Contraindications for sitting position.
We provide a wide range of products that ensure the best fit to the individual needs of the wheelchair user. It should be remembered
that the final decision on the selection and purchase of a specific type of wheelchair is the responsibility of the user of the product,
who is able to make such a decision, and the health care professional (e.g. doctor, physiotherapist).
The content of this manual is based on the expectation that a medical device expert has correctly fitted the wheelchair to the user
and assisted medical personnel and/or the authorized supplier with an instructional process for using the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the user of a wheelchair must practice operating the
wheelchair in the presence of a trained operator. A trained assistant can be a family member or a professional caregiver trained
specifically to assist the wheelchair user with various daily activities. Once a user starts using the wheelchair in their daily activities,
they are likely to encounter situations where they will need some practice, which will take time to adjust to the wheelchair's
requirements.
MODIFICATIONS
The wheelchair has been designed and assembled to ensure maximum mobility and usability. The authorized supplier offers a wide
range of accessories to further adapt the wheelchair to the individual needs and/or preferences. However, under no circumstances
should you modify, add, remove or disable any functions, parts or functions of the wheelchair.
REMOVABLE PARTS
INITIAL SAFETY CHECK
You need to know the nature of the wheelchair and its capabilities. It is recommended to check the safety before each use to make
sure that the
wheelchair
runs smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform the necessary checks, see Chapter Xl. "
Care and
Maintenance"
Before using the product, please do the following:
Check all electrical connections, make sure that they are tight and not corroded.
Check the wiring. Make sure it is properly secured.
Check the brakes.

TIRE CHECK
If your wheelchair is equipped with pneumatic wheels, make sure or check the air pressure at least once a week. Correct air
pressure will extend the life of the wheels and contribute to the smooth running of the wheelchair
WARNING
