FORTIS

2.3. Brakes

There is a service brake for braking while in pushing mode with the
drive disconnected or in an emergency (fig. 01).

After letting go of the joy-stick, the automatic brakes will slow the 
scooter until it comes to a complete stop. If the drive is connected, 
the scooter cannot be pushed or displaced because the brake is 
automatically applied to the motors.

2.4. Safety in vehicles

The scooter is to be secured against slippage by using straps. Ensure 
that the strap system for your vehicle is approved. You can find 
information
about the hold points in section 4.6.

For explanations as to whether your scooter is suitable for use as a 
seat in a vehicle for disabled people and how it must be secured, see 
section 4.7.

2.5. Use on Public Roads

The scooter is designed for outdoor use. Please keep in mind that you 
are using public roads and therefore have to observe all road traffic 
regulations.

Do not endanger other road users through inconsiderate driving, espe-
cially on walkways.

2.6. Purpose

The scooter Fortis is designed for  outdoor use by persons with 
impaired mobility. It is therefore capable of travelling long distances 
and overcoming obstacles outdoors. The scooter Fortis is classified 
according to EN 12184 in category C. The maximum load capacity is 
135 kg.
