USE

The electric wheelchair, with attached leg 
supports and arm supports, serves exclu-
sively for the conveyance of one sitting per-
son. Other pulling or transporting uses do 
not comply with its intended purpose. 

This model is an electric wheelchair espe-
cially for indoor and outdoor use on firm, 
level surfaces.

The electric wheelchair offers manifold ad-
justment possibilities to individual vital sta-
tistics.
The wheelchair should be adapted to your 
needs by a specialist dealer before the first 
use. The adaptation will take into account 
the driving experience, the physical limits of 
the user and the main place of use of the 
wheelchair.

!

 

Attention:

Always have adaptation and adjust-
ment work carried out by a specialist 
dealer.

ADJUSTMENT

The specialist workshop will hand out the 
electric wheelchair to you under considera-
tion of all relevant safety instructions, ready 
for operation and adjusted to your needs.

 

Note:

We recommend a regular control if 
the wheelchair adjustment in order to 
ensure a long-term optimal provision 
even with changing illness/handicap 
patterns of the user. Especially for chil-
dren and juveniles an adjustment every 
6 months is recommendable.

 

We recommend regular medical exams 
in order to ensure safety for active par-
ticipation in traffic.

 

Retrospective adjustments should be 
carried out solely by the specialist deal-
er!
