6. Operating instructions for optimal safety

- Maximum user's recommended weight : 127 kg.
- Do not attempt to reach objects if you have to move
forward in the seat.
- Do not attempt to pick up objects from the floor by
reaching down between your knees.
- Do not lean over the top of the upholstery back to reach
objects located behind you : this may cause you to tip over
- Always engage both manual brakes simultaneously.
- Manual brakes are parking brakes : they must not be used in
any way to slow down the wheelchair or as support during
transfers.
- Do not tilt the wheelchair (down kerbs or steps) without
using an assistant. Press down on the lower tube of the frame
as well as pulling on the push handles
- Do not carry the wheelchair up or down stairway or
escalators with the user seated in the wheelchair, with only
one attendant.This may cause serious injury.
- Do not use the wheelchair unless it has the proper tyre
pressure (front = 250 kPa, rear = 350 kPa).
- Do not overinflate the tyres : this may cause the tyres to
explode and cause bodily harm.
- Do not expose the wheelchair to a temperature higher than
40°C. (eg : behind the rear window of a car)
- To avoid injury, keep your fingers away from mobile parts
(armrests, folding system, legrests/footrests), and maintain
good posture before lifting the wheelchair.
Warning : Avoid operating on wet areas as well as
gravel, grass, etc. (sand and sea water particularly damage ball
bearings).When using the wheelchair inside, we recommend
using solid tyre castors, especially when riding on carpet.
