Common safety instructions
Read manual completely before use! Familiarize yourself with handling and functions of the
wheelchair before use and practice the handling.
You are responsible for the safety of your child. The safety of your child could be
affected if you do not follow the instructions of this manual. Nevertheless not all possible
circumstances and unpredictable situations can be covered by this manual. Reason, care
and circumspection are not features of the product, they are required of persons, who use
the wheelchair or attend it. The person, who is using the wheelchair and its accessories
should understand all instructions. It must explained to every other person using the
wheelchair and its accessories.If instructions are not clear and further explanations
become necessary, or if you have further questions please contact your HOGGI dealer.
Practise with the new wheelchair on even, straightforward terrain first, together with the
child. Together with the child, learn how the wheelchair reacts when the centre of gravity
shifts; for example on slopes or inclines or when clearing obstacles such as steps and
curbs. This should be done only with assistance from another person.
Using an anti-tip is strongly recommended for inexperienced wheelchair users.
Strap in your child at all times, when it is in the wheelchair.
HOGGI points out, that any use beside the typical use can be dangerous. The wheelchair
is not suitable for jogging, running, skating or similar activities. Swivelling front wheels tend
to wobble at higher speed, which can cause a sudden stop and tip over of the wheelchair.
Use the wheelchair only at regular walking speed. Under no circumstances leave the
handle bar while pushing and never push the wheelchair away.
The wheel chair should only be used on solid level ground.
Use your wheelchair as intended by the manufacturer. For instance, do not drive into
obstacles (including steps, curbs, piece of furniture).
8
To clear obstacles such as steps and curbs, tilt the wheelchair onto the rear wheels (pull it
backwards to go up; to descend, slowly lower it forward).
If only one attendant is available when ascending or descending stairs, an incorrectly set
anti-tip (if mounted at all) can lead to severe falls. Adjust the anti-tipper so that it does not
come in the way of the steps during transport. Afterwards, swing the anti-tipper back to its
operational position.
Do not go up or down stairs without the assistance of another person. If devices such
as ramps or elevators are available, please use them. Ensure that the anti-tip (if mounted)
is outside the danger-area. If wheelchairfriendly access is missing, two attendants must
carry the wheelchair over the obstacle.
The wheelchair should be lifted only by touching tighten parts of the frame (on the side
frame above the front wheels and on the push handles which are fixed on the backrest
base - if brakes are closed, also the push-rims can be used for lifting).
When ascending slopes or ramps and when crossing obstacles on upward slopes, always
lean the wheelchair user‘s upper body far forward.
When descending slopes, do not drive without braking and reduce your speed. Reduced
load on the casters due to centre of gravity shifting can cause the casters to flutter.
If you have to park on a slope, face the wheelchair uphill with the brakes engaged and
ensure that the seat is in the upright position. There is a risk that the pushchair might tip
over backwards if the seat is the reclined position.
Before leaving the wheelchair and before getting into and out of it, always lock the wheel
locks.
- Don´t use the footrest to get into and out of the wheelchair generally.
- Use the footrest with shoes only.
Depending on footplate settings and wheelchair geometry, the wheelchair may tip over if
the user boards the chair using the footplate. First practise boarding the chair with the
child and an attendant who can secure the wheelchair, and modify footplate and seat
height settings if the chair has a tendency to tip over. In addition, turn the caster fork to
the front prior to using the footplate for getting into the wheelchair; this increases the
wheelbase and thereby the wheelchair‘s stability against tipping.
The effectiveness of the wheel lock and the overall driving quality are dependent on
adequate air pressure. With properly inflated rear wheels and even tyre pressure on both
sides, your wheelchair is much easier to operate and manoeuvre. Before starting to use
your wheelchair, check that the tyres are inflated correctly. The required air pressure is
printed on the side of the tyre. For rear wheels, it should be at least 6 bar.
All brakes acting on the tyres do not serve as service brake but are only designed as
parking brake (wheel lock). The wheel locks must not be used as driving brakes for slowing
down the wheelchair, as in extreme cases, the abrupt stopping of the wheelchair can lead
to falls.
Please keep packaging material away from children. Plastic packaging presents the
danger of suffocation.
Disposal of waste: The packaging material as far as metal, aluminium and plastic parts can
be recycled. The recycling must be operated according to the national and legal terms.
Check the condition of the product if the packaging shows damages.
9
Never leave your child unattended in the wheelchair even when they are strapped in and
the brakes engaged.
In the dark, the user should wear light clothing or clothing with reflectors in order to
improve visibility. Ensure that the reflectors are installed on the sides and rear of the
wheelchair. We also recommend installing active lighting.
Extreme settings (e.g. shortest wheelbase and seat in the backmost position) combined
with an unfavourable body posture can cause the wheelchair to tip even on level ground.
Static stability is >10° inclination.
Attaching heavy bags or other weight to the push handles can adversely affect stability.
Adjustments with a high active degree demand a practised driver and the use of an anti-tip.
Under no conditions should the anti-tip(s) assume the function of transport wheels, for
example to transport a person in the wheelchair with the rear wheels removed. The antitips
must audibly lock in place, before it is able to bear loads.
Firm seating must be verified by the user or by an attendant.
The maximum load for the CLEO is 60 kg.
Accessories and add-ons reduce the maximum load proportionately.
We recommend that, wherever and whenever possible, users transfer to the seats installed in
the motor vehicle and use the corresponding vehicle restraint systems, because this is the only
way to ensure optimum protection of the passengers in case of an accident.
CLEO is admitted for use as a seat in a motor vehicle
If base plates carbon are installed, it is not allowed to use CLEO tie down kit.
Be careful in case of extreme temperatures. The wheelchair can heat up significantly
in the sun or in the sauna. In extreme cold, there is a risk of hypothermia. CLEO is not
suitable for use in the sauna. Slowing down from high speeds or when descending longer
slopes tends to heat up the hands and fingers, especially if using aluminium push rings.
When using the wheelchair outdoors, leather gloves should be worn. Gloves provide the
wheelchair user with a better grip and protect his or her fingers from dirt and hot metal.
For sensitive skin, we recommend using gloves similar to those used in cycling (finger cots
with a leather inside - but never wool gloves).
Always pay attention to the correct setting of the thru axles on the rear wheel. The rear
wheel must not be able to be removed if the button on the thru axle is not pressed.
Neither seat nor backrest height may be exceeded.
The assembly of a seat shell is only permitted within the specified seating area.
The manufacturer of that new product combination has to test the stability and the
adherence of the maximum load before commissioning. When applying seat and backrest
panels always use upholstered seat cushions to avoid to avoid dents.
10
Avoid reaching into any clamping range.
Danger of clamping exist in following assembly groups:
- Brake lever (if CLEO is supplied with fender with integrated brake system)
- Between brake lever and rear wheel
The wheelchair should be lifted only by touching tighten parts of the frame (on the side
frame above the front wheels and on the push handles which are fixed on the backrest
base - if brakes are closed, also the push-rims can be used for lifting).
The HOGGI seat cushion (Trevira CS) and the contoured seat cushion (Trevira CS) as well
as the HOGGI nylon backrest abd seat cover are flame resistant referred to the EN 1021-1
and EN 1021-2 norm.
Please read to visually handicapped people the manual and info material - or use electric
aids. Please download or read all CLEO documents on our webside www.hoggi.de.
Whenever you change any settings on the wheelchair, make sure that you firmly tighten
any screws that have been loosened.
ATTENTION:
The central push handle must not be used in connection with additional drives. Additional
drives increase the total weight of the wheelchair, so the connection of the central push
handle is subjected to higher loads. In this case, HOGGI assumes no liability.
ATTENTION:
Depending on the seat width, camber and rear wheel size of the wheelchair, the total width
of the wheelchair can exceed the maximum recommended dimension of 700mm. When
using escape routes, it must be noted that the wheelchair user may have to be transported
through the escape route without a wheelchair, or can be transferred to an evacuation chair
in order to use escape routes unhindered. Make sure that the wheelchair left behind is not
an obstacle for other people. After removing a drive wheel, the wheelchair can be pushed
freely through the escape route.
Always make sure that when transporting in the car, the tensile force per belt (max. 10 kg)
must not be exceeded, otherwise damage can arise on the frame of the wheelchair.
Information about product safety or product recalls as well as all contact details
are available on our website at www.hoggi.de.

7.2 Using CLEO for bus transport
CAUTION!
We recommend that, wherever and whenever
possible, users transfer to the seats installed in the
motor vehicle and use the corresponding vehicle restraint
systems, because this is the only way to
ensure optimum protection of the passengers in case
of an accident.
CLEO is admitted for use as a seat in a motor vehicle.
95
7.3 General
• Check that your wheelchair is suitable for a crash test.
• Check that the vehicle is equipped and compatible for transporting your wheelchair.
• There should also be enough space for safe transport.
• During transport ensure an upright sitting position.
Please note that improper use of a wheelchair in a wheeled
ambulance can be dangerous beyond typical use.
Failure to follow this advice will result in serious injury or death.
Always make sure that the tractive force per belt (max. 10 kg)
must not be exceeded when transporting in the bus, otherwise
the frame of the wheelchair could be damaged.
7.4 Securing the wheelchair during bus transport
We recommend that, wherever and whenever possible users transfer to the seats installed
in the motor vehicle and use the corresponding vehicle restraint systems, because this is
the only way to ensure optimum protection of the passengers in case of an accident.
CLEO was successfully tested in accordance with ISO 7176-19 (Crash Test).
It is, however, possible to use CLEO as a seat in a motor vehicle, if our “Tie down Kit” as well
as appropriate restraint systems are used. Your CLEO is admitted for use as a seat in a motor
vehicle yet.
CLEO may only be used forward in the direction of travel.
The wheelchair was dynamically tested in the direction of travel while the dummy was
attached with lap belt and shoulder strap.
1) If the user finds itself in the rehab pushchair, the rehab pushchair has to be positioned forward and has to
be fixed with the fastening and safety belts according to the instruction for use of the restraint system
manufacturer (fastening belts referred to WTORS need to fulfil the requirements of ISO 10542 or SAE
J2249).
2) The wheelchair has not been tested for transportation in another position. The transportation in a lateral
directed position for instance is not allowed at all.
31
3) Depending on the size of the pushchair the maneuverability can be
impaired, so that the turning of the pushchair is not or only partially
possible, to position the stroller forward in the direction of travel.
4) The wheelchair has to be fixed with a restraint system referred to ISO
10542 or SAE J2249 with fixed belts in the front and adjustable belts in
the back. Usually this concerns snap hooks/ s-shaped hooks as well as
plug closures. The restraint systems usually consist of 4 single belts,
which have to be attached to the 4 edges of the pushchair.
The attachment points of the pushchair restraint systems are marked with the international hook symbol.
5) The wheelchair may also be supplemented for transport with other positioning and fixation systems.
However, these are not a substitute for passenger and rehab pushchair restraint systems and may limit
user comfort.
CLEO may only be used forward in the direction of travel.
The wheelchair was dynamically tested in the direction of travel and the dummy was there
fastened with lap belt and shoulder strap.
In order to reduce the risk of injury to vehicle occupants, tools that are not specifically
designed for crash safety, should be removed and stored separately in the vehicle safely
such. eg crutches, loose pillows, therapy tables etc.
Without consulting the manufacturer, no changes may be made or replaced at the points
of attachment of the wheelchair or to components of the chassis and frame.
Failure to comply with these requirements, the wheelchair may not be transported in
vehicles.
7.5 Buckling the wheelchair passenger
The user has to be buckled up with the lap belt as well as the shoulder belt.
Shoulder and lap belts should be used to minimize and / or avoid potential injury from
impact on vehicle components.
1) The person executing the attachment should be trained in the handling of the system.
32
2) Before transportation the following adjustments of the rehab buggy have to be carried out:
Seat:
0° - 5°
Backrest:
90° - 100°
Footrest:
90°
3) The angle between lap belt and horizontal has to be 30°- 75°. An angle close to 75° is preferable.
4) The shoulder belt has to run across to chest and shoulder. The belt may not but at the neck and may not
be attached loose from the shoulder.
The lap belt and the shoulder belt must be flat and as tight as possible against the body
and must not be damaged by components such as e.g. Armrests or wheels are kept away
from the body and must not restrict user comfort.
5) The belt strap may not be twisted.
As far as possible all additives should be detached and stored securely:
• crutches, loose cushions and therapy trays.
6) The user‘s head should be additionally secured by a separate and permanently mounted
headrest in the bus.
You should not rely on the occupant restraint systems unless they are marked in
accordance with the requirements of ISO 7176-19: 2008.
7) During transport, the drum brake must not be tightened.
8) ) Please lock the manual brake firmly.
33
Care should be taken that the occupant restraint is positioned so that in the event of an
accident, the release button is not triggered by pushchair components and results in
unintentional opening of the seat belts.
9) Remember, however: In the event of a traffic accident, the risk of injury can only be
minimized and not ruled out, even if the passenger and rehab pushchair restraint
systems are used correctly.
Before reusing the pushchair after a collision or an accident with a bus, the pushchair may
no longer be used for transport in a bus until it has been checked for possible damage by
authorized personnel and then released again.
If you have questions about our products and transport safety devices for wheelchairs, we or
your specialist dealer will be happy to help.

Instructions for cleaning and maintenance
- Clean all frame components and plastic parts using mild detergents only. (e.g. Sagrotan).
- Padding parts can be washed at 40 °C. If washed in a washing machine, put them in a
linen bag or a pillow case.
- In most cases, wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient.
- Do not use your CLEO in salt water.
- Keep sand or other particles from damaging the wheel bearings.
- If your CLEO gets wet, towel-dry it as soon as possible.
- Hair and dirt particles generally accumulate between the caster wheel and fork. This can
restrict the caster wheels from rotating smoothly. Remove the caster and thoroughly clean
the fork and caster using a mild detergent.
- The rear wheels feature a quick-release system. To keep this system operational, ensure
that no dirt adheres to the quick-release axle or axle housing. The quick-release axle
should also be lightly lubricated regularly with resin-free sewing machine oil.
- Screw connections should be checked frequently, in particular when beginning to use the
wheelchair and after any adjustment. If a screw connection becomes loose repeatedly,
consult your dealer.
