USING THE WHEELCHAIR

USING THE WHEELCHAIR
4.1 Getting in and out of your wheelchair
Different handicaps allow more or less manoeuvrability.
To get in and out of your wheelchair easily and safely, the following tips can be helpful.

NOTE
Place the wheelchair backwards against a stable wall (Fig. 17). This ensures that the wheelchair will not roll away on smooth surfaces. DIETZ 230919
CANEO B Standard And Lightweight Wheelchair - USING THE
WHEELCHAIR **WARNING
Do not stand on the foot plates or footboard while getting up or sitting down. They are not intended to bear the full weight of one person.
NOTE**
Swivel up the side panel if transferring sideways (see chapter 4.2).

Getting into your wheelchair

  1. Take off the leg rests (see chapter 4.4).
  2. If possible, place the wheelchair’s rear wheels against a solid wall.
  3. Apply both parking brakes.
  4. Stand as close as possible to the wheel- chair. Turn around, then carefully move backwards until your legs touch the edge of the seat.
  5. Now grab the armrest with your hands.
  6. You can now sit down slowly and safely.
  7. Then swivel both the leg rests back to the front in the direction of travel. Listen and feel for the click to ensure that the leg rests are correctly engaged.
  8. Finally, fold both the foot plates downwards using your feet and place your feet on the foot plates (see chapter 3.4).

Getting out of your wheelchair Carry the procedure out in the opposite sequence.

4.2 Swivelling the sideguards back
To swivel up, press the locking lever and pull the sideguard upwards.
The arm rest engages automatically on swivelling back. This engagement is clearly audible. (Fig. 18). 4.3 Folding the foot plates up
Fold the foot plates up to make entering and exiting easier. (Fig. 19).
The foot plates must be folded up to save space when folding the wheelchair together. 4.4 Swivelling away and detaching the leg rests
To remove the leg rests, first fold the foot plates up. (see 4.3)

  1. Actuate the locking mechanism in red/orange (1, Fig.20) and swing the leg rest outwards.
  2. Now you can pull upwards on the leg rests. (2, Fig. 20).

Carry the procedure out in the opposite sequence during assembly.
When the leg rest is swivelled forwards, it audibly clicks into place.

4.5 Angle-adjustable foot plates
The CANEO_S / _E / _L are equipped with angle-adjustable foot plates as standard. To change the angle, first

  1. loosen the screw (1, Fig.21) a few turns. Now you can set the desired foot plate angle (2, Fig. 21).
  2. Then tighten the screws (1) again.

4.6 Propelling and slowing down the wheelchair with the push rims
The wheelchair is pushed and slowed down using the push rims. Grip the push rims with your hands with your thumbs pointing forwards on the push rims (see Fig. 22). To propel the wheelchair forwards: Push bothwheels forwards evenly.
To propel the wheelchair backwards: Pushboth wheels backwards evenly.
To stop the wheelchair: Close your handsaround the push rims and gradually increasethe pressure of your grip.
To steer to one side: Slow the wheel on theside to which you wish to turn.
To turn the wheelchair on the spot: Push onewheel forwards and the other wheel backwards at the same time.
WARNING
Risk of trapping: between the tyre and sideguard/armrest!
Risk of injury: During hard braking manoeuvres the push rims can become quite hot. Wear suitable gloves.
Risk of injury: Ensure that your thumbs do not touch the tyre casing of the wheel whilst the wheelchair is in motion.
WARNING
Hanging loads on the wheelchair increases the risk of it tipping over backwards.
That is why DIETZ recommends using anti-tipping supports.

4.7 Driving on gradients and uneven ground
Potholes and uneven ground can cause thewheelchair to tip over when driving overramps, slopes, gradients and kerbs.
Lean your body forwards when driving upwards over a step or slope. (1 & 2, Fig. 23)
Lean your upper body further backwards whendriving down slopes and steps. (3 & 4, Fig.23)

WARNING
Risk of trapping: Always drive up or downslopes/gradients in a straight line and at a reduced speed.
Do not drive over slopes or gradients obliquely as this increases the risk oftipping over.
Risk of injury: If you brake the wheelchair for a long time using the handrims, e.g. when dri- ving downhill, a lot of frictional heat is generated on the handrims. Wear suitable gloves.

4.8 Loading the wheelchair
Additional loads (backpacks or similar objects)up to max. 5 kg can be hung from the pushhandles as long as the max. user weight is not exceeded.

4.8 Parking brake
The wheelchair has one parking brake on either side. They can be used to park the wheelchair safety.

  1. Press the brake lever forwards so that the brake blocks the wheel (1, Fig. 24).
  2. Press the brake lever further forwards until you feel it engage (2, Fig. 25).

To release the parking brake: Pull the brake lever backwards.DIETZ 230919
CANEO B Standard And Lightweight Wheelchair - Parking
brake WARNING
Do not use the parking brakes to stop the wheelchair during motion as this may cause the wheels to block. Due to the immediate locking of the wheels, you may no longer be able to control the direction of travel.
NOTE
Use both parking brakes when parking thewheelchair. This ensures that the braking forceis evenly distributed on both rear wheels.

4.9 Braking by an attendant (optional)
While moving, slow down the wheelchair by pulling both levers upwards. To park the chair you can lock the brake levers. To do this, pull up the lever and subsequently pull up the small locking lever. (Fig. 26).

NOTE
Always use the left and right brake simultaneously.
Using only one side will make the chair very hard to manoeuvre.
The locking lever will then engage automatically. To release the brake simply pull the brake lever upwards and the locking lever will release automatically.
The accompanying person can use the optional drum brake as a service and parking brake. This is particularly advantageous when moving on slopes.
Movement can then be reduced by applying the brake levers more or less strongly as required. In addition, the drum brake can also be used as a parking brake.
WARNING
In models without an optional drum brake, the accompanying person must be physically and mentally able to stop the wheelchair busing his own strength. The locking brake is then available as a parking brake.

4.11 Tipping aid
The tipping aids enable the accompanying person to tilt the wheelchair and therefore move it over obstacles more easily. Place your foot onto the back of the frame tube and maintain balance using the pushing handle. (Fig. 27). Optionally, instead of a curb climber you can fit anti-tipping supports These can also be used as a curb climber if the anti-tipping wheels have been set to the highest position beforehand. (see chapter 5.10)

4.12 Transport
Transport of the wheelchair without user

To transport the wheelchair in a car, airplane, train or simply to create space, the wheelchair can be folded and separated into portable elements without any tools. It then only takes up a very small amount of room and is easy to store. Please check the individual transportation requirements of the airline-/railway company regarding the packacking/dimensions for the wheelchair transportation.

WARNING
Risk of injury: Always ask the carrier whether the respective vehicle is designed, insured and equipped to carry a person in a wheelchair. Failure to obverse these instructions can result in severe bodily injury and danger to life!
Wheelchair as a car seat
Wheelchairs are not designed for use as passenger seats in vehicles and do not provide thesame level of safety as regular vehicle passenger seats, regardless of how well they are fastened and secured inside the vehicle. DIETZ therefore recommends to seat wheelchair users on regular vehicle seats whenever possible The CANEO_S is ISO 7176-19-compliant andtherefore suitable for use as a passenger seatin vehicles (see table).
All wheelchairs that have been crash-testedare marked accordingly. (see Fig. 28). It hasbeen tested using a H3 50% dummy (78 kg)and a head restraint (ISO 10542).
Passenger cars designed for transporting wheelchair users while seated in a wheelchair have to have a wheelchair space in accordance with the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulation (StVZO). All wheelchair spaces in a vehicle haveto be provided with a wheelchair and wheelchair occupant restraint system capable of restraining the wheelchair and its occupant. Thevehicle owner and driver must provide vehicle-integrated restraint systems compliantwith either ISO 10542 or DIN 75078-2 (power node system) and make sure they are used in accordance with the regulations.

Attaching the wheelchair restraint systems
To secure the CANEO_S and CANEO_E, only a 4-point wheelchair restraint system with tension belts certified according to ISO 10542, which is designed for the total weight of the wheelchair, is used without a tie-down. The 4 tie down strap attachment points on the wheelchair are marked with a hook symbol (see examples (A) and (B) Fig. 29). When securing the CANEO, the straps must be attached to all 4 attachment points and the wheelchair placed such that the occupant is facing the direction of travel in compliance with ISO 10542 (WTORS). Under no circumstances must the wheelchair be strapped in place using other attachment points (e.g. anti-tip bar, armrests). No modifications must be made to the trans- port anchor points of the wheelchair without the permission of DIETZ. The wheelchair restraint system must be installed in the vehicle in line with the manufacturer’s assembly instructions. The CANEO_S_E_B_XL was also tested with the AMF-Bruns power node system (DIN 75078-2 / ISO 10542).
Please follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions (www.amf-bruns- behindertenfahrzeuge.de) when securing the restraint system with a power node system. The restraint system must be fitted by qualified and expert personnel.  (A) Front attachment point on the wheelchair
(B) Rear attachment point on the wheelchair
WARNING
The CANEO has been tested in the direction of travel in compliance with ISO 7176-19 / ISO 10542. For safety reasons, the CANEO must not be used / secured in such a way that it would face backwards or sideways when occupied.

WARNING
The geometry of the attachment points (or of the fastening system) must be adjusted with just as much precision as the wheelchair user’s safety belts to ensure that a wheelchair user seated in a wheelchair inside a vehicle will be safety transported. Non-observance of these requirements can put the wheelchair user’s life at risk in the event of an accident.DIETZ 230919
CANEO B Standard And Lightweight Wheelchair - safety
belt

Wheelchair occupant restraint system
The wheelchair restraint system must be secured first.
Once secure, the wheelchair occupant must be secured with a correspondingISO 10542 compliant restraint system.
When doing so, the following must always beensured:
▼ Fasten the shoulder and lap belt. Both of these belts must be fastened quite tightly, but not so tight as to cause discomfort to the wheelchair user and must not be twisted.
▼ We strongly recommend using a head restraint suitable for use in a vehicle when transporting wheelchair users.
▼ The lap belt must run at an angle of 30° tomax. 75° from the horizontal but under no circumstances greater than 75° (C, Fig. 30).
▼ Safety belts must not be routed over components of the wheelchair, such as armrests or wheels, which would hold it away from the body. (D, Fig. 31).
▼ Only products that are certified according to ISO 7176-19 / ISO 10542 or DIN 75078-2 (tie-downs) and have been identified accordingly by the manufacturer may be used as a restraint system.The wheelchair’s parking brakes must be fully engaged throughout the drive.

INDIVIDUAL ADJUSTMENTS

▼ Components such as, e.g. activity trays, cushions or walking aids etc. that are easy to remove from the wheelchair must be removed before driving off. Keep them in a suitable safe place.
▼ Do not raise manually moveable/height-adjustable footrests when the wheelchair is being occupied during a journey and if the wheelchair has been secured with a restraint system and safety belt.
▼ Adjustable backrests must be moved into an upright position:
▼ The wheelchair user’s safety during transport depends on the care with which the restraint system has been secured. The person having secured the restraint system must be trained or instructed in the use of the system.
▼ Wheelchairs that have been involved in an accident must be checked by a DIETZ service technician before any further use.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON ADJUSTMENTS
Accessories are sometimes required for the settings described below. Only original accessories from DIETZ may be used. Only then is the compliance and thus the safety of the product guaranteed. When setting up a new user for the first time, all wheelchair adjustments must be carried out by qualified specialists so that correct positioning and safety can be guaranteed.

Tools
The following standard tools are required for the CANEO wheelchair:
Allen key sizes 4, 5 & 6
Open-end wrench AF 10, 13, 19, 26
cross tip screwdriver

WARNING
Complex adjustment tasks that can result in a risk of accident if not performed correctly must only be conducted by designated specialist staff and are labelled accordingly. “Only to be performed by specialist staff” This particularly applies to adjusting the brakes and for settings that affect the stability of the wheelchair.

5.1 Parking brake

WARNING
A change in the height of the seat necessitates readjustment of the brakes (see chapter 5.1).

5.7 Seat angle adjustment
CANEO_S_E_L
Only to be performed by specialist staff:
Tools: Allen key 5, 6 and open-end wrench 19 This adjustment option is used only to compensate for the seat angle, which is set at thefactory at 3 degrees.. Make sure that the castor angle is always 90° to the floor (Fig. 43). Acastor angle that deviates from 90° will always have a negative impact on the wheelchair’s driving behaviour. The angle setting of the castor can be adjusted in three steps (6°, 3° (standard), 0°) by rotating the castor inlay.
Each of the set angles are shown in a window in the castor housing. (Fig. 42)DIETZ 230919 CANEO B Standard And Lightweight Wheelchair - Seat angle
adjustment

WARNING
After setting the seat angle, check that the castor bushing is at right angles to the ground. Forprecise adjustment, we recommend using a 90°try square.

5.8 Wheelbase extension
CANEO S_E_L_B
Only to be performed by specialist staff:
Moving the rear wheels backwards increases the distance between wheels and therefore also the stability of the wheelchair. Moving the rear wheels forwards will increase the manoeuvrability of your wheelchair but make the chair less stable.
First remove the rear wheels and secure the wheelchair so that it EN does not tip over.
Then loosen and completely remove the two screws on the adapter. Now rotate the adapter by 180° vertically and attach it. Make sure that the bolts are tightened securely again. (Fig. 44)

WARNING
Altering the wheelbase means the locking brakes will have to be readjusted (see chapter 5.1).

5.9 Pushing handle
CANEO_S
The pushing handle can be easily adjusted to meet the requirements of the accompanying person.
First release the clamping levers. Then move the pushing handle to a position which is comfortable for you.
Then tighten the threaded connection securely again. (Fig. 45) 5.10 Anti-tip wheels (optional)
Only to be performed by specialist staff:
The optional anti-tip wheels prevent thewheelchair from tipping backwards. In addition, they can be used to make tilting easierfor an attendant.
To tilt the wheelchair the wheels can be heightadjusted. To do so, pull the silver-coloureddisks towards you and push the tube along theholder up or down. (Fig.46)

5.11 Safety belt (optional)
Only to be performed by specialist staff:
An optional belt can be installed. This secures and stabilises the person seated in the wheelchair.
It prevents the person from tipping forwards out of the wheelchair. The seat belt is secured to the backrest tube on the left and right. Subsequent installation should be carried out in a specialist workshop. (Fig. 47 – 49)DIETZ 230919 CANEO B Standard And Lightweight Wheelchair - Safety

5.12 Amputee support (optional)

  1. Remove the leg rest (chapter 4.4).
  2. Grasp the amputation support by the cushion and insert it from above into the frame tube (1, Fig. 50).

Adjust the angle and height:

  1. Release the clamping lever counterclockwise (2, Fig. 50).
  2. The amputation pad can now be adjusted to any angle and in three height settings.
  3. Tighten the clamping lever in a clockwise direction.

Adjusting the height:

  1. Loosen the star grip screw (3, Fig. 50).
  2. The amputation pad can now be adjusted to any height.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY INFORMATION & DRIVING RESTRICTIONS
When using the wheelchair, always observe the following safety information to prevent falls, hazardous situations and damage to the wheelchair:

  • Before using the wheelchair for the first time, practice moving on level, clearly laid out terrain. Intensively familiarise yourself with its braking and acceleration behaviour when moving straight ahead and on cornering. An accompanying person is recommended.
  • Never leave children or adolescents in the wheelchair without supervision.
  • Always lock the brake before you sit down or get up from the wheelchair.
  • Never use the wheelchair under the influence of alcohol or other substances which influence attentiveness or physical and mental receptiveness.
  • Please note that the risk of tipping can increase if the balance is shifted due to bodily movements or placing loads on the wheelchair. Adjusting the wheelchair settings to their extremes increases the risk.
  • With an incline / slope of more than 10° there is an increased risk of tipping backwards or forwards, DIETZ recommends using anti-tipping supports.
  • Anti-tip supports must be used for wheelchair configurations that are prone to tipping even on gradients/inclines of less that 10°. They must be properly mounted.
  • The use of ramps is essential for any obstacles.
  • If they cannot be bypassed, ruts, rails or similar obstacles must always be crossed at right angles (90°).
  • Do not propel your wheelchair forward against kerbs, edges or other obstacles without braking.
  • Do not jump from obstacles (edges, steps etc.) while sitting in the wheelchair.
  • Do not stand on the foot plates or footboard while getting up or sitting down.
  • Observe the road traffic regulations when moving in road traffic.
  • Wherever possible, wear light, eye-catching clothing. You will then be seen more easily by other road users.
  • Avoid exposing the wheelchair to direct sunlight / low temperatures for long periods of time, as parts of the product (eg frames, footrests, brakes and side panels) may become very hot (> 41° C) or very cold (<0°) and may cause skin injuries.
  • Always remember that there is a risk of fingers or other parts of the body getting caught in any of the moving parts (brakes, leg rests etc.) while the wheelchair is stationary or when it is moving. For this reason, operate the wheelchair with care.
  • Ensure that the wheelchair is not parked in direct vicinity of emergency exits and escape routes and blocks them.
  • Never exceed the max. load for driver and stowed objects as this can lead to injury or damage to the chair.
  • Avoid escalators. The risk of falling and injury is significantly higher.
  • Stairs must only be negotiated with the help of accompanying persons if no elevators or ramps are present.
  • Never lift the wheelchair with occupants by the wheels or legrests, if necessary only by the fixed components such as the side frame.
  • Any severe incidents associated with the product must be reported to the manufac- turer and responsible authority.
  • Protect the wheelchair and its materials against direct sunlight, excessively cold or warm temperatures and excessively high or low humidity if the wheelchair is stored for longer periods.
  • The wheel bearings can be damaged by sand, seawater and road salt. The wheel bearings and the product can be damaged by sand, seawater and road salt.Clean the wheelchair thoroughly if it has been exposed to conditions such as these.
  • If redness, irritation of the skin occurs in connection with the use of the product, consult a doctor immediately.
  • If your product is custom-made (see product labelling), the additional documen-tation including all safety instructions must be observed in addition to the current operating instructions.
