Transport in public methods of
transportation
Your wheelchair is not designed for user
transport in public transportation vehicles.
Limitations may occur. We recommend use
of one of the firmly built in seats of the pu-
blic vehicle.
Should it nevertheless become necessary to
carry out the transport while sitting in the
wheelchair, the following needs to be ob-
served:
– Use the space designated by the public
transportation services for parking.
– Observe the regulations of the trans-
port company before parking the
wheelchair.
– Park your wheelchair opposite to the
driving direction in the reserved space.
– The wheelchair is to be placed so that
the back support it will be supported
by the border of the parking space.
– One side of the wheelchair must also lie
against the border of the parking space,
so that the wheelchair cannot slide
away in case of an accident or sudden
braking manoeuvre.
– Additionally activate the parking bra-
kes.
Driving on public highways
In Germany you are subject to the German
laws for traffic regulation (Strassenverkehrs-
ordnung (StVO)) as a pedestrian.
Your wheelchair can optionally be fit with
lighting equipment. The lighting equip-
ment consists of::
– Reflectors on the back support
– Reflectors on the drive wheels.
With limited sight and especially in the dark
we recommend to mount and switch on
active lighting equipment, e. g. from the
bicycle sector, in order to see and be seen
better.
☞
When participating in public traffic the
user is responsible or the functional-
and operationally safe condition of the
wheelchair.

When driving in the dark avoid using
the road or bicycle lanes.
☞
Observe that the lighting equipment is
not covered by clothes or any other ob-
jects attached to the wheelchair.

non-ionic tensides as well as solvents and
especially alcohol.
