Personal Transporter Usage
WARNING!
–
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and before
use, make sure that all attaching hardware is tightened
securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
–
Set-up/programming of the Electronic Control Unit
is to be performed only by a qualified technician.
The fine tuning adjustments of the controller may
affect other activities of the personal transporter.
Damage to the equipment could occur under these
circumstances. If unqualified individuals perform any
work on these units, the warranty is void.
The personal transporter ships in two cartons. It is necessary
to install the seat onto the personal transporter base, install
the joystick and make any necessary adjustments to fit the
personal transporter to the user. Refer to 5.1 Preparing the
Personal Transporter for Use, page 21.
Setup of the personal transporter should be performed by
dealer at time of delivery.
7.2
Driving
The maximum load capacity that is stated in the technical
data only states that the system is designed for this mass
in total. However, this does not mean that one can sit
a person with this body weight in the mobility device
without restrictions. Attention must be paid to the body
proportions, such as height, weight distribution, abdominal
belt, leg and calf strap and seat depth. These factors have
a strong influence on driving features such as tilt stability
and traction. The permissible axle loads in particular must
be adhered to (refer to 13 Technical data, page 57). It may
possibly be necessary to carry out adaptations to the seat
system.
7.3
Before driving for the first time
Before you take your first trip, you should familiarize yourself well
with the operation of the vehicle and with all operating elements.
Take your time to test all functions and driving modes.
If installed, make sure to properly adjust and use the postural
belt each time you use the wheelchair.
Sitting comfortably = Driving safely
Before each trip, make sure that:
•
You are within easy reach of all operating controls.
•
The battery charge is sufficient for the distance intended to be
covered.
•
The postural belt (if installed) is in perfect order.
•
The rear mirror (if installed) is adjusted so you can look behind
at all times without having to bend forward or shift your seating
position.
