Delivery And Preparation For Use - Gima 43270 Guía De Uso

You may compromise your safety if you do not observe these
instructions. However, it is impossible to protect against and avoid
all unforeseeable circumstances and situations.
2.2 Do not ascend or descend stairs without the assistance of attendants.
If devices such as ramps or elevators are available, they should be used.
If wheelchair-friendly access is missing, two attendants must carry the
wheelchair over the obstacle.
2.3 If possible, the footplates should be flipped up before getting into
or out of the wheelchair.
2.4 Risk of accident when driving without experience. This can lead to falls
and other dangerous situations. Therefore, familiarize yourself with
the new wheelchair by practicing on even, straightforward terrain first.
Learn how the wheelchair reacts when the center of gravity shifts; for
example on slopes or inclines or when clearing obstacles such as steps
and curbs. This should be done only with the assistance of another
person. Using an anti-tipper is strongly recommended for inexperienced
wheelchair users.
2.5 All brakes acting on the tires do not serve as service brake but are only
designed as parking brake (wheel lock). The wheel locks must not be
used as driving brakes for slowing down the wheelchair, as in extreme
cases, the abrupt stopping of the wheelchair can lead to falls.
2.6 Risk of damage caused by overload. The maximum load capacity
is 120 kg.
2.7 The drive wheels must be replaced in case of tire damage (tread
becomes worn down to such an extent that there is only 5 mm of radius
left on the outer edges of the tire) or damage on the rim.
The 12" drive wheels of the transfer version is replaced in the same way.

3. Delivery and Preparation for Use

(Please Note: The photos here may show differences to the wheelchair
you actually received).
Your wheelchair is usually delivered fully assembled, folded, and with the rear
wheels mounted.
A few simple steps are sufficient to prepare it for use:
1. While standing next to the wheelchair (Figure 1), unfold the wheelchair
using flat hands (Figure 2). Ensure that the telescoping bars (Figure 1-A)
are completely collapsed and that the seat upholstery is flattened out.
