When driving around bends, turning the wheelchair or driving uphill or downhill, the centre of gravity of the
wheelchair may be shifted so that there is a risk that the wheelchair may tip over to the side. Therefore, proceed
with extreme caution and reduce the speed of the add-on drive.
Special caution is required when crossing roads and at crossroads and level railway crossings. Never cross rail
tracks in roads or at level crossings by driving parallel to them as the wheels could get stuck in the rails.
Proceed with special caution when driving over ramps or lifting platforms of vehicles. Before lifting or lowering
the wheelchair on the ramp or lifting platform, keep the e-fix a safe distance from the kerb and switch it off.
Also apply the wheelchair parking brakes. This prevents inadvertent movement or drive commands.
Never drive your wheelchair directly at the edge or close to the edge of a ramp or lifting platform, instead leave
a sufficient distance.
If the ground is wet, tyre grip may be poor so that there is a risk of slipping. Adapt your driving behaviour
accordingly and never drive with worn tyres.
