5.1 Before driving for the first time...
Before you take your first trip, you should familiarise yourself well with the operation of the vehicle
and with all operating elements. Take your time to test all functions and driving modes.
NOTE:
If installed, make sure to properly adjust and use the posture 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 posture belt (if installed) is in perfect order.
The gearless wheelchair has very dynamic performance!
Please observe that gearless motors have very high performance! For this reason a wheelchair
with a gearless drive has greater dynamic performance than wheelchairs fitted with conventional
motors. The top speed is also higher. Please therefore drive carefully until you have become
accustomed to the driving features of the wheelchair.
