1 Product description

1.1 Intended use

The wheelchair is intended for people with walking difficulties or no walking abilities.

The wheelchair is designed to transport 1 person.

The wheelchair is suited for indoor and outdoor use.

The user can propel the wheelchair by himself or have the wheelchair pushed by an

attendant.

The different types of fittings and accessories, and the modular construction allow full use by

persons disabled by:

 paralysis

 loss of limbs (leg amputation)

 limb defects or deformations

 stiff or damaged joints

 heart insuffiencies and poor blood circulation

 balance disturbances

 cachexia (decrease in muscle)

 and also for aged persons.

When providing for individual requirements:

 body size and weight (max. 130 kg)

 physical and psychological condition

 residential circumstances

 environment

should be taken into consideration.

Your wheelchair should only be used on surfaces where all four wheels are touching the

ground and where there is sufficient contact to propel the wheels equally.

You should practice for use on uneven surfaces (cobblestones, etc.), slopes, curves and to

get past obstacles (curbs, etc.).

The wheelchair should not be used as a ladder, nor is it a transport for heavy or hot objects.

When used on mats, carpeted floors or loose floor coverings, the floor covering can get

damaged.

Use only Vermeiren approved accessories.

The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by the lack of or improper service or as a

result of not following instructions from this manual.

Compliance with the user and maintenance instructions are an essential part of the

guarantee conditions.

1.8 Safety rules

L

To prevent injury and/or damage to your wheelchair, make sure that no objects

and/or body parts are caught in the spokes of the driving wheels.

L The parking brakes should be applied before getting into and out of the wheelchair.

L When getting into and out of the wheelchair, do not stand on the foot plates. These

should be folded up beforehand, or the footrest should be swung completely outwards

out of the way.

L Investigate the effects of shifting the centre of gravity on the behavior of the wheelchair,

for example on up or down gradients, on laterally sloping ground, or when overcoming

obstacles. Obtain support from an attendant.

L If you want to pick up something (lying in front of, on the side, or to the rear of the

wheelchair), you should not lean too far out to avoid tipping over.

L When moving through doors, arches, etc. ensure that there is enough room at the sides

so that you do not get your hands or arms caught or crushed and that there is no

damage to the wheelchair.

L Only use your wheelchair according to regulations. For example, avoid uncontrolled

rolling against obstacles (steps, curbs, doorframes, etc) or dropping down from ledges.

The manufacturer cannot assume liability for damage caused by overloading, collision

or other improper use.

L Stairs may only be negotiated when aided by another person. If furnishings like drive-on,

ramps or lifts are available, use them.

L When moving on the public highway, you are subject to the rules of the road.

L When driving your wheelchair, you should not be under the influence of alcohol or

medicine as in the case of driving other vehicles. This also applies to indoor driving.

L When travelling outdoors, adapt your driving to weather and traffic conditions.

L To be better visible when driving in the dark, wear the brightest possible clothing or

clothes with reflectors, and check that the reflectors mounted on the sides and rear of

the wheelchair are clearly visible.

L Never exceed the maximum load of 130 kg.

2 Use

This chapter describes the everyday use. These instructions are for the user and the

specialist dealer.

The wheelchair is delivered fully assembled by your specialist dealer. The instructions

intended for the specialist dealer on how to set up the wheelchair are given in § 3.

2.1 Carrying the wheelchair

2.19 Use of the wheelchair as seat in a motor vehicle

L

WARNING: 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.

L WARNING: The wheelchair's pelvic belt alone is not suited as an occupant

restraint belt.

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.
