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.
