Braking During Use; Getting In And Out Of The Wheelchair - Küschall R33 Manual Del Usuario

6.2 Braking during use

Whilst you are moving, you brake by transferring force to
the handrim with your hands.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
If you apply the parking brakes while you
are moving, the direction of movement can
become uncontrollable and the wheelchair may
stop suddenly, which can lead to a collision or
to you falling out.
– Never apply the parking brakes while you are
moving.
WARNING!
Risk of falling out of the wheelchair
If the wheelchair is rapidly decelerated by an
assistant pulling at the push handles, the user
may fall out of the wheelchair.
– Always apply the posture belt if present.
– Make sure your assistant has been trained
individually in transferring occupied
wheelchairs.
1583557-D
CAUTION!
Risk of burning your hands
If you brake for a long time, a lot of frictional
heat is produced at the handrims (especially
Supergripp).
– Wear suitable gloves.
1. Hold the handrims and press evenly with both hands
until the wheelchair stops.

6.3 Getting in and out of the wheelchair

WARNING!
Risk of overturning
There is a high risk of overturning during the
transfer.
– Only get in and out without assistance if you
are physically able to do so.
– When transferring, position yourself as far
back as possible in the seat. This will prevent
damaged upholstery and the possibility of the
wheelchair tipping forward.
– Make sure that both castors are facing
straight to the front.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
The wheelchair could tip forwards if you stand
on the footrest.
– Never stand on the footrest when getting in
and out.
