INFORMATION

This safety information is an extract of the 

Sicherheits- und allgemeinen Handhabung-
shinweisen

, that can be found on our web-

site: <

.

Do not insert fingers into open frame 
tubes (for example after removing the 
arm supports, leg supports or support 
castors). – Danger of injury!
A stable sitting position is to kept while 
using the electric wheelchair, even when 
not in motion and especially on hills and 
slopes. – Danger of accidents!
In a safe sitting position the back of the 
user lies directly on the back support up-
holstery and the hip of the user is at the 
back end of the seat.
Transit out of the electric wheelchair 
on hills/slopes may only be carried out 
in emergencies and with the aid of an 
accompanying person and/or helper! 
– Danger of accidents!
Adjust the seat inclination only when the 
electric wheelchair is standing on a hori-
zontal, level surface. A danger of tipping 
over exists on gradients!
Increased danger of tipping over when 
using the angle adjustable back support.
Before starting to drive make sure that no 
negative seat inclination has been adjust-
ed, respectively that a safe seating posi-
tion is ensured.
You should not smoke while using the 
electric wheelchair.

Exposure to direct sunlight can cause seat 
covers/upholstery, arm support pads, leg 
supports and handles to heat up to over 
41 °C. – Contact with exposed skin can 
result in injury! Prevent such heating by 
parking the electric wheelchair in a shad-
ed area.
Special attachment points for carry-along 
objects are the optional baggage rack or 
push handles. – The maximum permitted 
additional load on the push handles is 
5 kg.
Only transfer into or out of the seat when 
the electric wheelchair is switched off and 
the selection lever drive-/push mode on 
both sides is in drive mode!
Inadvertently knocking the joystick will set 
the electric wheelchair in motion without 
control! – Danger of accidents!

Accompanying person

The accompanying person must be made 
aware of all possible danger situation before 
the start of his/her supportive involvement. 
The parts of your electric wheelchair that 
are held onto by the accompanying person 
are to be checked for tight fit.
