Safety Notes and Driving Restrictions

The engineering and construction of this wheelchair has 

been designed to provide maximum safety. International 

safety standards currently in force have either been 

fulfilled or exceeded in parts. Nevertheless, users 

may put themselves at risk by improperly using their 

wheelchair. For your own safety, the following rules must 

be strictly observed.

Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments 

increase the risk of accident. As a wheelchair user, you 

are also part of the daily traffic on streets and pavements, 

just like anyone else. We would like to remind you that 

you are therefore also subject to any and all traffic laws.

Be careful during your first ride in this wheelchair. Get to 

know your wheelchair. 

Before each use, the following should be checked: 

• 

Fixed axles and rear wheels 

• 

Hook and loop tapes on seats and backrests 

• 

Tyres and brakes. Before changing any of the 

adjustments of this wheelchair, it is important to read 

the corresponding section of the user manual. It is 

possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause 

this wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding 

uphill or downhill. When riding forwards over a step 

or up an incline, the body should be leaning forward.

• 

Never exceed the maximum load of 120 kg for user 

plus any items carried on the wheelchair. If you 

exceed the maximum load, this can lead to damage 

to the chair, or you may fall or tip over, lose control 

and may lead to serious injury of the user and other 

people. 

• 

Do not excceed the maximum load of 2kg inside the 

storage pocket

• 

When it is dark, please wear light clothing or clothing 

with reflectors, so that you can be seen more easily. 

Make sure that the reflectors on the side and back of 

the wheelchair are clearly visible. 

• 

We would also recommend that you fit an active light
