This section contains important safety information for the
protection of the wheelchair user and assistant and for
safe, trouble-free use of the wheelchair.
WARNING!
Risk of accidents and serious injury
Accidents with resulting serious injury can occur
if the wheelchair is improperly adjusted.
– Wheelchair adjustments must always be
carried out by a specialist dealer.
WARNING!
Risk due to driving style being unsuitable for
the conditions
There is a risk of skidding on wet ground, gravel
or uneven terrain.
– Always adjust your speed and driving style to
the conditions (weather, surface, individual
ability, etc.).
WARNING!
Risk of injury
In a collision you could sustain injury to parts of
your body that extend beyond the wheelchair
(e.g. feet or hands).
– Avoid an unbraked collision.
– Never drive into an object head-on.
– Drive carefully through narrow passages.
WARNING!
Risk due to wheelchair being out of control
At high speed you could lose control of your
wheelchair and overturn.

– Avoid collisions in general.
CAUTION!
Risk of burning
The wheelchair components can heat up when
exposed to external sources of heat.
– Do not expose the wheelchair to strong
sunlight before use.
– Before usage, check all components that
come into contact with your skin for their
temperature.
CAUTION!
Risk of getting fingers caught
There is always a risk of getting, e.g. fingers
or arms, caught in the moving parts of the
wheelchair.
– Make sure when activating the folding or
insertion mechanisms of moving parts, such
as the removable axle of the rear wheel,
folding backrest or antitipper, that nothing
becomes caught.
