User manual – Swifty 2
Please observe the following notes regarding safety
• Before using the product for the first time, read the user manual carefully; if you have poor eyesight, have someone
read it to you. If the user manual is lost, you can download it at any time in the download area of our website
www.thomashilfen.com. The PDF document available there can also be displayed at a larger size.
• We recommend that you adjust the lower leg length at least every 3 months to match your child's current size. If
necessary, this should be done with the help of your therapist / orthopedic technician.
• Your child should always be secured with the H-belt (basic equipment) or with another restraint belt (available as an
accessory).
• CAUTION: Wet wheels can affect the brakes. When stopping for a long period, you should lock the rehab stroller
using the foot brake, thus preventing the buggy from unintentionally rolling away.
• IMPORTANT: Do not keep the brake applied when the rehab stroller is not being used for an extended period of
time. Otherwise, the rear wheels could be damaged by the constantly applied brake.
• CAUTION: The gap chassis and the release rod of the brake may pose a risk of getting clothes and limbs caught in
the foot area.
• CAUTION: The gap between the seat of the Swifty 2 and the chassis frame may pose a risk of getting clothes and
limbs caught in the seat area.
• CAUTION: The gap between the seat side guide of the Swifty 2 and the back arch tube may pose a risk of getting
clothes and limbs caught in the seat area.
• CAUTION: The gap between the footrest plate and the footrest tube may pose a risk of getting clothes and limbs
caught in the foot area.
• Please do not overload your Swifty 2 rehab stroller and observe the maximum load capacity (see the specifications).
• In the dark, reflective clothing makes you and your child more visible for other road users – make use of this advan-
tage.
• Lift the rehab stroller only using firmly welded or screwed-on components (front frame tube above the front wheels,
rear axle, push handles / push bar)
• Intense sunlight may excessively heat up the black pads. In this case, there is the risk of burning on the back and legs
upon contact! Therefore, always ensure that the Swifty 2 is not exposed to intense sunlight during use and storage;
use it only when it has cooled sufficiently!
• Make sure that you do not injure yourself when folding the footrest up, adjusting the backrest, and folding and un-
folding the rehab stroller.
• Attaching heavy bags or string bags to the rehab stroller increases the risk of tipping. Use the basket (available as an
accessory) under the seat unit.
• When handling the rehab stroller, especially when folding and unfolding it, heed the recommendations in the user
manual.
• Do not leave your child unattended in the Swifty 2 rehab stroller.
• When placing your child into the buggy and removing him or her, the rehab stroller's parking brake must be applied.
• Do not leave your child unattended when he or she is getting into or out of the rehab stroller; if the footrest is sub-
jected to an excessive load, there is a risk of slipping or tipping.
• Please keep your children away from the plastic packaging; there is a danger of suffocation.
• Only one child at a time may be placed in the rehab stroller.
