  2. To retain rights under the above delineated warranties the Customer must, in case of damage or other calamities, as rapidly as possible contact Handicare and inform them as fully as possible. The possibility of taking recourse to the above-mentioned warranty conditions becomes null and void for the Customer in any case after 20 workdays after the claim situation or the calamity arises that was the reason for the recourse to the guarantee.

  3. The replacement of a part or the repair or the reconditioning of the Product within a current warranty period does not extend the warranty period.

• Make sure the brake handle is pushed all the way backward while driving the wheelchair, so that the brake cannot be applied accidentally.
- If the wheelchair is stopped on a slope, the brake should be applied to prevent the wheelchair from moving down the slope.

3.4 Driving

Handicare Ibis - Driving - 1

  • As a wheelchair user, you could be vulnerable in traffic. When travelling in or across a road, keep in mind that other traffic participants may not always notice you. Keep to the applicable traffic regulations.
  • Avoid out-of-the way routes, so that help can be on its way quickly when needed.

Push the wheelchair (12"/16")

  1. Adjust the height of the push handles.
  2. Release the brake from the rear wheels.
  3. The wheelchair can now be pushed.

Braking (20"/22"/24")

Tightly grasp both hoops.

Handicare Ibis - Braking (20"/22"/24") - 1

By braking this way, friction is caused between your hands and the hoops, which will create heat. If you brake too fast, your hands may become very hot.

Handicare Ibis - Braking (20"/22"/24") - 2

Miscellaneous

  • Drive carefully on slippery roads, resulting from rain, ice or snow!
  • Prevent the wheelchair from coming into contact with seawater: seawater is caustic and may damage the wheelchair.
  • Prevent the scooter from coming into contact with sand: sand may can affect the moving parts of the wheelchair, resulting in unnecessarily rapid wear.

  • Do not put the wheelchair in direct sunlight: the upholstery may become too hot, which may cause burning or an allergic reaction of the skin.

  • Do not drive the wheelchair when you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that could affect your ability to drive.
  • You must have sufficient eye sight to be able to safely drive the wheelchair.
  • Be sure that no items of clothing hang loose. These could be caught between the wheels.

3.6 Slopes

Driving up slopes

Handicare Ibis - Driving up slopes - 1

  • Slopes with an angle of more than 5^ must not be taken.

Seating system)

Store these parts securely. Use suitable ramps for wheeling the chair in and out of the vehicle. Once the wheelchair is in the vehicle, it must be secured with an ISO 10542 approved tie-down system that is suited to the weight of that particular wheelchair including any options

3.8 The wheelchair as a passenger seat in a car

Handicare Ibis - The wheelchair as a passenger seat in a car - 1

This wheelchair is crashtested according to ISO 7176-19 (2008) with a maximum passenger weight of 160 kg.

Wheelchairs are not primarily designed to be used as car seats and cannot offer the same degree of safety offered by standard car seats, no matter how securely they have been tied down in the vehicle concerned.

Due attention should be paid to the following points when a transfer from the wheelchair to a standard car seat is not possible.

The wheelchair can be used as a passenger seat in a car or bus by using a 4-point integrated transport tie-down system that has been approved to ISO 10542. standards. Make sure that this restraint system is suitable to the total weight of the wheelchair. The weight of a wheelchair depends on its configuration. The specifications give an overview of several options and their share in the total weight. Always weigh the total chair to make sure that the right restraint system is used.

Handicare Ibis - The wheelchair as a passenger seat in a car - 2

natural_image Technical line drawing of a vehicle chassis with two wheels and mechanical components (no text or symbols)

The system requires tie-down rails to be mounted in the car. The chair must then always be strapped to the four tie-down points.

Handicare Ibis - The wheelchair as a passenger seat in a car - 3

  • Transfer to a regular car seat if possible
  • Use for the fixation of the occupant a 3 point occupant restraint system. Always follow the instructions of this system.
  • Always ask the transporter for confirmation that the vehicle is suitably designed, insured and equipped for transporting a person in a wheelchair.
  • The wheelchair must be positioned in the vehicle so that it is facing forwards.
  • The wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing orientation with the test dummy restrained by both pelvic and shoulder belts (e.g. a shoulder belt as part of a three-point belt restraint).
  • Both pelvic- and shoulder-belt restraints should be used to reduce the possibility of head and chest impacts with vehicle components.
  • Wheelchair mounted trays should:

  • be removed and secured separately in the vehicle

  • be secured to the wheelchair but positioned away from the occupant with energy-absorbing padding placed between the tray and the occupant.

- Set the wheelchair in the standard position and use the headrest if the wheelchair is fitted with one.

- The chair must always be switched off when being transported.

- Support and positioning equipment must not be used as seat belts if not labelled as being in accordance with the requirements of ISO 7176/19

- No changes may be made to the tie-down points/car restraining points on the wheelchair, or to the design of the frame without consulting the manufacturer.

  • The wheelchair should be inspected by a Handicare's representative before reuse following involvement in any type of vehicle collision.
  • Care should be taken when applying the occupant restraint to position the seatbelt buckle so that the release button will not be contacted by wheelchair components during crash.

The wheelchair has been tested in accordance with ISO 7176-19 (2008). Test dummy weight 102 kg.

3.9 Fastening the seat belt

Handicare Ibis - Fastening the seat belt - 1

  • Use the three-point seat belt in order to reduce the risk of head and chest injuries in the event of the wheelchair colliding with parts of the car.
  • The wheelchair should always be inspected by a representative of the manufacturer following any kind of collision.

Use the seat belt as follows:

  • Position the belt across the hips as tightly as possible at an angle between 30° and 75°. The other part of the belt is positioned to sit across the chest and shoulder.
  • The seat belt should fit as tightly as possible and must not be twisted.
  • Ensure that the seat belt is not

obstructed from having contact with the body by wheelchair parts, such as armrests or wheels.

text_image 101248-05_17a

Trays fitted to the wheelchair which do not comply with safety requirements must be:

  • Removed and secured separately in the vehicle.
  • Secured to the wheelchair, with shock-absorbing padding placed between the tray and the user.

In order to prevent injury in the event of a collision, secure wheelchair accessories to the wheelchair or remove them from the chair and secure them in the vehicle.
