Safety
Obstacles
Be very careful going over bumps and curbs over 2” (50mm) high. Your front casters may contact
theses surfaces, causing a loss of control. Use your pushrims to get over these bumps, NOT the
handcycle. You should approach bumps and curbs straight on and at very low speeds to avoid
damage to your wheelchair and injury to you – your return spring should keep the front Wheel
straight, freeing up your hands for the pushrims. Be aware of road surfaces, especially on inclines
or declines. Watch out for water, ice, and oil lms.
Hill Climbing
If you lose traction, lean toward the Handlebar, if possible, to move your center of gravity forward.
Transferring
DO NOT attempt to transfer into or out of your chair with the Firey
TM
attached. You MUST detach
the handcycle before transferring.
General Notes & Precautions
Mind your ngers and hands when using your handcycle.
Keep children away from your handcycle to avoid possible
injury to both you and the child.
Do not carry anything that obstructs your view or interferes
with the hand Handlebar operation.
Do not put weight on the Wings – this includes weight due
to objects and people.
This handcycle is meant for everyday use and is not
intended for use in competition.
Rio Mobility is not responsible for any damage or injury due
to misuse of your handcycle.
