2. Sicherheitshinweise

Ihre Sicherheit hat oberste Priorität. Halten Sie sich stets an die folgenden Sicherheitsrichtlinien:

• Bremsen: Always engage the parking brakes when transferring in or out of the wheelchair, or when stationary.
• Stabilität: Avoid leaning excessively to the side or front, as this may cause the wheelchair to tip.
• Unebene Flächen: Exercise caution on uneven terrain, ramps, or inclines. Always have an assistant when navigating steep slopes or obstacles.
• Fußstützen: Ensure footrests are properly positioned and secured before use. Do not stand on the footrests.
• Wartung: Regularly inspect all components for wear, damage, or loose parts. Do not use the wheelchair if any part is damaged.
• Kinder: Keep children away from the wheelchair during assembly and ensure they do not play with it unsupervised.

3. Aufbau und Montage

The Mobiclinic Maestranza wheelchair is designed for easy setup and folding. Follow these steps for initial assembly and unfolding:

3.1 Aufklappen des Rollstuhls

1. Stellen Sie den zusammengeklappten Rollstuhl auf eine ebene, stabile Fläche.
2. Ziehen Sie die Armlehnen vorsichtig nach außen, um den Rahmen aufzuklappen.
3. Press down firmly on the seat rails until the wheelchair is fully open and the seat fabric is taut. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged.

3.2 Attaching/Adjusting Footrests

The footrests are removable and rotatable for user comfort and easier transfers.

• To attach: Align the footrest posts with the receivers on the wheelchair frame. Push down until they click into place.
• To remove: Press the release lever (if present) and pull the footrest upwards.
• To adjust: Rotate the footrests to the desired position for comfortable leg support.

3.3 Removable Armrests

The padded armrests can be removed to facilitate transfers from the wheelchair to other surfaces, such as a bed or sofa.

• To remove: Locate the release button or lever near the armrest attachment point and press it while lifting the armrest.
• To reattach: Align the armrest with its slot and push down until it locks securely.

3.4 Removable Rear Wheels

The rear wheels can be removed for more compact storage or transport.

• To remove: Locate the quick-release pin on the center of the wheel axle. Press the button on the pin and pull the wheel outwards from the frame.

• To engage: Push the brake levers located near the rear wheels downwards until they lock.
• To disengage: Pull the brake levers upwards.

4.2 Navigating Obstacles with the Curb Climber

The integrated curb climber assists in navigating small obstacles or curbs with ease, reducing the need to lift the entire wheelchair.

• To use: Position the wheelchair facing the curb. The assistant should place their foot on the curb climber lever (located near the rear axle) and gently tilt the wheelchair backward, lifting the front wheels over the obstacle.
• Always ensure the user is secure and communicate clearly with the assistant.

4.3 Doorway and Transport Considerations

The wheelchair's design allows for convenient passage through standard doorways and transport in vehicles.

• Türen: With a total width of 60.5 cm, the wheelchair can pass through standard 62.5 cm wide doorways.
• Transport: When folded, the chair measures only 28.5 cm, making it suitable for transport in a car trunk. Always verify your doorway and vehicle dimensions for compatibility.

• Radinspektion: Regularly check wheels for wear, damage, and proper inflation (if pneumatic). Ensure all wheel fasteners are tight.
• Bremsenprüfung: Test brakes regularly to ensure they engage and hold securely. Adjust if necessary (refer to a qualified technician).
• Bewegliche Teile: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and moving parts for tightness. Lubricate moving parts as needed with a silicone-based lubricant.
