◦ When transporting a stroller composed of dismantled wheels in models equipped with
screw-on hubcaps, it is ordered that after removing the wheels, the caps should be turned
on the ends of the axles. This perfectly protects against accidental injuries, accidental
damage to the means of transport and additionally protects the ends of the axles from the
destruction of threads, and the caps from loss.
◦ The handbrake (if the stroller has one) is used to brake the stroller when descending from
a slope. If it has a lock, it should only be used at a standstill
with the simultaneous use of the handbrake.
Remark! The handbrake achieves full effectiveness only after reaching
and after adjusting the tension of the brake cables several times.
RESIDUAL RISK
Physical hazards
may result from overloading the stroller and non-compliance with safety rules
in its use
(for prevention, see chapters: PURPOSE AND ENVIRONMENT OF USE; SAFETY RULES;
RULES FOR THE PROPER OPERATION OF THIS Manual and information labels on the
stroller).
may result from particularly extreme behavior of the patient – e.g. strong dynamics of body
movements associated with the severity of the symptoms of the disease (to prevent – the
caregiver anticipating such behavior of the patient can not leave him in the stroller without
proper care or the use of appropriate safeguards).
Remark! Particular attention should be paid to the safe distance of the hands from the rotating
wheels and the brakes cooperating with them, as they can cause injuries.
Biological hazards
may result from a lack of care for the cleanliness of the upholstery of the stroller and its
accessories (to prevent – see chapter: PRINCIPLES OF PROPER OPERATION of this
Manual).
Fire hazards
may result from the ignition of the upholstery of the stroller from an open fire. The purpose
of the stroller
and the environment of its use do not indicate such a risk. Therefore
, the upholstery of the stroller meets the requirements for fire resistance only partially, i.e. it
meets the requirements of flammability from ignition sources – smoldering cigarette, and does
not meet the requirements of flammability from an open fire source.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to avoid contact of the stroller with the source of open
fire – see chapter: SAFETY RULES of this Manual.
