• Slow down reaching a curve and lean over to the inside of the bend.
• A set with the Blumil Go has a greater turning radius than the wheelchair
itself, therefore it can sometimes be impossible to turn in tight places, such
as corridors.
• On hills, the grip of the drive wheel is less than on flat roads, which means
less braking power. The driving style and speed must always be adapted to
the conditions so that the product can be stopped at any time without
causing any hazard.
• In order to avoid falling over, obstacles such as curbs must always be crossed
forward / perpendicular at low speed. The maximum height of obstacles is
50 mm, but it depends on the distance between the front wheels from the
surface, and therefore on the settings of the attachment and connection with
the Blumil SPORT.
• When moving on wet surfaces, the risk of slipping is increased due to the less
grip of the tires. In this situation, the driving style should be adjusted
accordingly.
• Riding the wheelchair with Blumil SPORT attached, risks serious injury or
death from falls, loss of traction, loss of balance, collisions and other
accidents.
• Do not ride with BLUMIL SPORT unless it has been properly adjusted to your
individual needs.
• Do not attempt to ride when the battery indicator displays no bars (is empty).
• Keep obstructions such as straps, clothing, jewelry, and bags away from the
wheels and other moving parts.
• Be aware of the foot rest at all times as it may catch on steep inclines, or
other obstructions and cause instability with BLUMIL.
• Do not go onto surfaces steeper than 10%.
• Do not attempt to use any stairs to move between different levels, as it may
result in an accident.
• Avoid surfaces covered in ice, oil or other slippery substances.
