TEKNA TILT 5
1.4 Use
The wheelchair TEKNA TILT is a manual propelled
model. It is usually pushed from the backrest handles by
an attendant, but it can also be propelled, by means of
the hand rims, by the user.
Thanks to its wide range of accessories and possible
configurations, the wheelchair can be safely used both
indoor and outdoor. It serves for changing the seat
inclination very easily so as to move the pressure areas
the user’s body is leant on. The presence of an attendant
is always necessary due to the serious pathologies of
users often unable to physically move with their own
strength, but also because the tilt-in-space function can
only be operated by an attendant.
We discourage use over hilly, particularly soft, sandy or
uneven ground, slopes exceeding the recommended
gradient and acid environments.
Its compact size and structure make the TEKNA TILT
wheelchair ideal for use by both child and adult.
1.5 General advises
Before using the wheelchair we recommend that you
carefully read Chapter 2.0 “Safety” and Chapter 5.0
“Using the wheelchair,” which are essential for safe use
of the wheelchair.

2.1 Movements: getting in and out of the
wheelchair
While getting into or out of the wheelchair do not place
your feet on the footplate. This could result in the
wheelchair tipping up, possibly causing harm both to the
chair and to the occupant.
Getting in and out of the wheelchair must always be done with
extreme care and caution, even by experienced users, and must be
performed only after receiving instruction from specialised and fully
trained personnel
To make the operation easier, it is necessary to tilt the seat
at its minimum inclination (see chapter 2.2 “Tilt in space”)
