Risk of injuries and/or damage

Carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual.

Keep the following general warnings in mind during use:

• Do not use your wheelchair if you are under influence of alcohol, medicines or other

substances that may influence your riding abilities.

• Be aware that some parts of your wheelchair may get very hot or cold due to ambient

temperature, solar radiation or heating devices. Be careful when touching. Wear protective

clothing if the weather is cold. When going outdoors, riding gloves can be used to improve

the grip on the hand rims.

• Alterations or substitutions should not be made to the wheelchair securement points or to

structural and frame parts or components without consulting the wheelchair manufacturer.

Be aware that your wheelchair may interfere with some types of anti-theft systems, depending on

the settings used. This may cause the shop's alarm to go off.

2.3 Transport

2.3.1 Transport by vehicle, as luggage

1. As user, transfer to a car seat, see §3.7.

2. Fold the wheelchair to its most compact size according to the instructions in § 2.4.

3. Store the wheelchair and its wheels in the luggage compartment or behind the passenger

seat. If luggage and passenger compartments are NOT separated or enclosed, fasten the

wheelchair frame securely to the vehicle. You can use the available safety belt in the vehicle.

Never use the same safety belt for passenger and wheelchair.

2.3.2 Use of the wheelchair as seat in a motor vehicle (only for Trigo with fixed backrest)

Risk of injuries

• For Trigo with foldable/angle adjustable backrest: Do NOT use your wheelchair as

a seat in a vehicle, see the following symbol.

• The wheelchair has passed the crash test of ISO 7176-19: 2008 and, as such, has been

designed and tested for use only as forward-facing seat in a motor vehicle. Ease of access to,

and manoeuvrability in, motor vehicles can be significantly affected by wheelchair size and

turning radius.

• The wheelchair's pelvic belt alone is not suited as an occupant restraint belt.

• Use the wheelchair's pelvic belt and the applicable three-points belt in the vehicle to prevent

head and chest impacts with the vehicle.

• Do not use postural supports to restrain the user in the vehicle unless they are labelled as

being in accordance with the requirements specified in ISO 7176-19:2008.

• Following involvement in any type of vehicle collision, have your wheelchair inspected by the

specialist dealer or manufacturer’s representative before reuse.

The wheelchair is tested using the four-point strap-tie system and a 3-point occupant-restraint

system.

Whenever feasible, use the seat of the vehicle and store the wheelchair in the cargo area.

Steps to secure the wheelchair in a motor vehicle:

1. Check that the vehicle is equipped with a suitable wheelchair tie down and occupant-restraint

system, conform ISO 10542.

2. Check that the components of the wheelchair tie down and occupant restraint system are not

frayed, contaminated, damaged or broken.

3. If equipped with an adjustable seat and/or back tilt, make sure that the wheelchair user is

sitting as upright as possible. If the user's condition prevents this, a risk assessment should

be done to evaluate the user's safety during transit.

4. Remove all mounted accessories such as trays and respiratory equipment, and secure them

in a safe place.

5. Position the wheelchair facing forward in the travelling direction, centrally between the tie-

down rails mounted in the floor of the vehicle.

6. Mount the front securement straps according to the instructions of the strap-system

manufacturer at the indicated place (figure 1). This place is marked on the wheelchair with a

symbol (figure 2).

7. Roll back the wheelchair until the front straps are tight.

8. Apply the wheelchair brake.

9. Mount the back securement straps according to the instructions of the strap-system

manufacturer at the indicated place (figure 1). This place is marked on the wheelchair with a

symbol (figure 2).

2. If present, attach the wheelchair's pelvic belt.

3. Attach the occupant restraint belts according to the

instructions of the strap-system manufacturer.

4. Wear the pelvic belt low across the front of the pelvis,

so that the angle of the pelvic belt is within the

preferred zone of 30° to 75° to the horizontal, similar

to that shown in the figure.

5. A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is

desirable.

6. Adjust the belt tightly according to the instructions of

the strap-system manufacturer, consistent with the

user's comfort.

7. Ensure that the restraint belt connects in a straight line to the anchor point in the vehicle

and that no bends in the belt are visible, for instance at the axle of the rear wheel.

body by wheelchair components such as armrests or wheels.

9. Position the seatbelt buckle so that the release button will not be contacted by wheelchair

components during a crash.

10. Make sure that the shoulder-belt restraints fit over the shoulders, see figure 4.

Belt restraints must not be held away

from the body by wheelchair

components such as armrests or

wheels.

Belt restraints make full contact with

shoulder, chest and pelvis.

more often. The minimum maintenance frequency depends on use and should therefore be

commonly agreed on with your specialist dealer.

4.2 Maintenance instructions

4.2.1 Wheels and tyres

Contact your specialist dealer for this matter.

Inflate each pneumatic tyre to the correct pressure (see pressure indication on the tyres).

4.2.2 Cleaning

Risk of damage by moisture

• Never use a hose or high-pressure cleaner to clean the wheelchair.
