Safety information
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.
- Never exceed a speed of 7 km/h.
- Avoid collisions in general.
CAUTION! Risk of burning
The wheelchair components can heat up when
exposed to strong sunlight.
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.
