Important information about regulating the
actuator functions on gradients
–
Your mobility device is fitted with an angular sensor
which guarantees tipping stability. The sensor
measures the actual angle of the drive unit, and
prevents any further decrease in stability by restricting
the functionality of the adjustment actuators. If this
safety function is activated, the backrest and the seat
tilting can only be moved forwards, and the lifter can
only be lowered. Reposition your mobility device
on level ground so that the actuators can function
normally again.

Using foldable antitippers
Where space is restricted, e.g. in an elevator or when being
transported in a car, the mobility device may be too long. Foldable
antitippers can be useful here. These can only be operated by an
attendant as they are positioned beyond the reach of the user.
CAUTION!
Risk of tipping if the antitippers are not returned
to the driving position before moving off
–
Always return the antitippers to the driving position
before moving off (see the figure below).
–
Make sure that the locking pin is fully engaged.
Driving position
Folding the antitipper down:
1.
Pull out the locking pin
A
to release the antitipper.
2.
Fold the antitipper down.
The mobility device is now shorter.
Parking position
Folding the antitipper up:
1.
Fold the antitipper upwards until the locking pin audibly engages.
The antitipper is functional again.
