Safety
Please adhere closely to the following safety instructions:
Weight limitations
Maximum load: 120 kg.
Pneumatic air pressure / Brakes characteristics
Sufficient air pressure should be kept in the tyres in order to maintain a
good performance of the brakes
Observe a weekly check of the tyre pressure!
Types of tyres Air pressure
Lightweight tyre: 7 bar
Sculpture tyre: 7.5 bar
Lightwall-High pressure tyre 10 bar
Sportshall tyre (Collé): 10 bar
Floating axles
When operating the "quick Release" floating axles of the backwheels,
make sure each time that the axles are well engaged (see "Use: rear
wheels: assembly and removal").
Tilting
The seat module position is adjustable. Please note that such
adjustments have an effect on equilibrium and/or the "stability" of the
wheelchair! The right seat position depends on factors such as the body-
weight, the type of handicap and the user's capabilities. Details on the
standard adjustments of the seat position are given on the prescription
form.
If you wish to determine the tilting-point of your wheelchair, make
sure somebody stands behind you, ready to prevent the wheelchair
from tipping backwards.
A more secure solution is to equip the wheelchair with an anti-tip device
from our range of accessories (see "Accessories: Swing-away anti-tip
device").
