therapy chair rolling away.
Only lift the therapy chair by firmly welded or screwed components and without a
child.
The therapy chair should only be placed on horizontal, level surfaces. If it is
unavoidable to park it on an incline, please ensure that the seat is brought into an
upright position. On inclines, there may be a risk of tipping backwards in the lying
position.
Before leaving the therapy chair and before getting into and out of it, always lock the
wheel locks.
Make sure that your child does not lean too far out of the therapy chair when grabbing
objects (which are in front, to the side or behind the therapy chair), as there is a risk
of tipping over or rolling over due to the shift in the center of gravity.

Never leave your child unattended in the wheelchair even when they are strapped in
and the brakes engaged.
Static stability is >10,5° inclination. Attaching heavy bags or other weight to the push
handles can adversely affect stability.

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 TIMO pushchair in salt water.
- Keep sand or other particles from damaging the wheel bearings.
- If your TIMO 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.
