Safety
WARNING!
Risk of injury when transferring mobility device
to a vehicle for transport with the occupant
seated in it
–
It is always better to transfer the mobility device to a
vehicle without the occupant seated in it.
–
If the mobility device needs to be loaded up a ramp
together with its driver, ensure that the ramp does
not exceed the maximum safe slope (refer to 12
Technical data, page 95).
–
If the mobility device does need to be loaded using a
ramp which exceeds the maximum safe slope (refer
to 12 Technical data, page 95), then you must use a
winch. An attendant can safely monitor and assist the
loading process.
–
As an alternative you can use a platform lift. Ensure
that the total weight of the mobility device including
the user does not exceed the maximum permissible
weight for the platform lift or winch if you are using.
Risk of falling out of the mobility device
–
Do not slide forward on the seat, do not lean forward
between your knees, do not lean backwards out
over the top of the backrest, for example to reach
an object.
–
If a posture belt is installed, it should be correctly
adjusted and used each time you use the mobility
device.
–
When transferring to a different seat, position the
mobility device as close as possible to the new seat.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury if maximum permissible load is
exceeded
–
Do not exceed the maximum permissible load (refer
to 12 Technical data, page 95).
–
The mobility device is only designed for use by a single
occupant whose maximum weight does not exceed
the maximum permissible load of the device. Never
use the mobility device to transport more than one
person.
Risk of injury due to wrong lifting or dropping of
heavy components
–
When maintaining, servicing or lifting any part of your
mobility device, take into account the weight of the
individual components especially the batteries. Be
sure at all times to adopt the correct lifting posture
and ask for assistance if necessary.
Risk of injury by moving parts
–
Make sure that no injury is incurred by moving parts
of the mobility device, like wheels or one of the
lifter modules (if fitted), especially when children are
around.
Risk of injury from hot surfaces
–
Do not leave the mobility device in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods. Metal parts and surfaces such as
the seat and armrests can become very hot.
