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.

Check the state of charge of the batteries.

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

!

 

Do not use the wheelchair for the first time without fully reading and understanding this Instructions for 

use.

WARNING

!

 

Do not modify the wheelchair in any way that is not authorized by the manufacturer. Unauthorized 

modifications may result in personal injury and/or damage to the wheelchair.

WARNING

!

 

 

Do not try to lift or carry the wheelchair by any removable parts. This may result in personal injury or 

product damage.

WARNING

Do not over-inflate or under-inflate the wheels. Low pressure can cause you to lose control, and tires can 

burst if over-inflated.

WARNING

!

 

Inflate the module wheels. Measure the air pressure in the wheels with a pressure gauge. Inflating the 

wheels from unregulated sources can over-inflate the wheels, resulting in a rupture of the tire and/or injury.
