WARNINGS!
Reclining backs:
For safety reasons never remove the anti-tip wheels.•
The reclining backs are only to be used in combination •
with the active anti-tips setting.
The mechanical reclining back is only to be used in •
combination with a stabilising bar. Ensure that the
stabilising bar is locked in place on both sides.
In order to avoid any malfunction in the cable, you •
must ensure that the cables are not completely taut.
When adjusting the back angle, be careful not to get •
your fingers caught.
Before adjusting the back angle, put the anti-tip tubes •
in to the active position.
CAUTION!
Before folding the wheelchair, make sure that the
stabilising bar is removed.
6.6 Powered Height-adjustable legrests:
Rumba Modular only.
The legrests can be adjusted via the joystick.
Press the actuator mode button to select Actuator Mode.
Moving the joystick forwards brings the legrests up,
moving the joystick backwards brings them down.
A left or right joystick movement will select other seat
actuator functions.
Press the actuator mode button again to return to drive
mode.
6.7 Height-adjustable footrests:
To elevate:
Pull the leg rest upwards and stop at the desired height.
The leg rest will automatically lock in the chosen position.
To lower:
Push the release lever slowly forwards. The leg rest
will start to lower the angle. As soon as you release the
lever, the leg rest will stop and automatically lock in that
position.
WARNING!
Keep hands clear of the adjustment mechanism •
between the frame and moving parts of the footrest
during adjustment.
Leg rests must not be used for lifting or carrying the •
wheelchair under any circumstances.
6.8 Slopes (Fig.6.4):
The following instructions explain how to manoeuvre
correctly on steep ramps and slopes, especially in the
course of descent.
WARNING!
If your chair has a powered recline back we recommend •
you bring the backrest into an upright position.
If you stop on an incline, start off slowly and, if •
necessary, lean forward to counteract the tendency of
the front wheels to rise.
On descents it is important not to allow the wheelchair •
to exceed normal speed. Indeed, the safest course is
to go down steep hills slowly and to stop immediately
if you have any doubts about the steering.
If the chair gathers speed, move the joystick to its •
central position to slow down, or stop completely.
Start off again slowly and do not allow speed to •
increase. Make sure the automatic brakes are
engaged.
Climbing or descending a slope with the automatic •
brakes disengaged can be dangerous.
6.9 Transfers (Fig.6.5):
Always position the wheelchair close to the place where
the transfer will be carried out. It is important
that the controller is turned OFF, so that the wheelchair
will not move throughout the procedure.
The wheelchair is highly stable owing to its weight. Do not
stand up on the footrests at any time during the transfer.
