Breezy 300 Série Notice D'utilisation page 19

Danger!
When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the footboards. These should be flipped up before-
hand and swung to the outside as far as possible. Always position yourself as close as possible to the
place where you wish to sit.
Danger!
Only use your wheelchair properly. For example, avoid travelling against an obstacle without braking
(step, kerb edge) or dropping down gaps.
Danger!
The wheel locks are not intended to brake your wheelchair. They are only there to ensure that your
wheelchair does not begin rolling unintentionally. When you stop on uneven ground, you should
always use the wheel locks to prevent such rolling. Always apply both wheel locks; otherwise, your
wheelchair could tip over.
Danger!
Explore the effects of changing the centre of gravity on the behaviour of the wheelchair, for example
on inclines, slopes, all gradients or when overcoming obstacles. Do this with the secure aid of a helper.
Danger!
With extreme settings (e.g. rear wheels in the most forward position) and less than perfect posture, the
wheelchair may tip over even on a level surface.
Danger!
Lean your upper body further forward when going up slopes and steps.
Danger!
Lean your upper body further back when going down slopes and steps. Never try to climb and des-
cend a slope diagonally.
Danger!
Avoid using an escalator which may lead to serious injury in the event of a fall.
Danger!
Do not use the wheelchair on slopes > 10°. The Dynamic safe slope is dependant on the chair confi-
guration, the users abilities and the style of riding. As the users abilities and style of riding cannot be
pre-determined then the max safe slope cannot be determined. Therefore this must be determined
by the user with the assistance of an attendant to prevent tipping. It is strongly recommended that
inexperienced users have Ant-tips fitted.
Danger!
It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause this wheelchair to tip over, especially when
riding uphill or downhill.
Danger!
Do not use your wheelchair on muddy or icy ground. Do not use your wheelchair where pedestrians
are not allowed.
Danger!
To avoid hand injuries do not grab in between the spokes or between the rear wheel and wheel lock
when driving the wheelchair.
Danger!
In particular when using lightweight metal handrims, fingers will easily become hot when braking
from a high speed or on long inclines.
Danger!
Only attempt stairs with the help of an attendant. There is equipment available to help you, e.g. clim-
bing ramps or lifts, please use them. If there is no such equipment available, then the wheelchair must
be tipped and pushed, never carried, over the steps (2 helpers). We recommend that users over 100 kg
in weight do not use this stairway manoeuvre!
In general, any anti-tip tubes fitted must be set beforehand, so that they cannot touch the steps, as
otherwise this could lead to a serious tumble. Afterwards the anti-tip tubes must be set back to their
correct position.
