First of all we want to thank you for putting your trust in us by selecting one of our

the development, special attention was given to the ease of use and the serviceability of the

wheelchair.

The expected lifetime of your wheelchair is strongly influenced by the care and maintenance

of the wheelchair.

This manual will help you get acquainted with the operation of your wheelchair.

Following the user instructions and the maintenance instructions are an essential part of the

guarantee.

This manual reflects the latest product developments. Vermeiren has the right to introduce

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. 120kg (264.6 lb))

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 (kerbs, 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.

!" When getting into and out of the wheelchair, do not stand on the footplates. These

should be folded up beforehand, or the leg supports should be swung completely

outwards out of the way.

!" 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.

!" 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

!" 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.

!" Be careful when using possible causes of fire such as cigarettes since they may set the
