Transfer out of the vehicle
☞
Entering or exiting the electric vehi-
cle may only occur when the vehicle
is switched off and the parking brake
activated resp. drive mode achieved
through the selection lever.
☞
When transferring never support your-
self on the operating module.
Curve driving
There is a danger that the vehicle can veer
from the course, resp. tilt over!
☞
Principally choose a driving speed that
is adequate for the curve radius, mean-
ing never to drive into curves too quick-
ly.
☞
In order to always have a lateral sup-
port during curve driving, never drive
without side elements (arm supports),
respectively only with correctly adjust-
ed side elements (arm supports) which
give lateral support to the body.
Driving on falling, rising or trans-
verse gradients
For safety reasons, the maximum permitted
gradient is limited because the tip-over sta-
bility and the braking and steering behav-
iour are impaired by a reduced floor/road.
☞
☞
Always drive with a low speed on ris-
ing/falling gradients.
☞
Extreme inclinations or slopes are to be
driven on with adequate final speed.
☞
Never switch to push mode on gradi-
ents. The automatic brakes are inoper-
ative in the push mode.
☞
Do not push the vehicle on gradients.
☞
Do not lean towards the downhill di-
rection when driving on rising, falling
or transverse gradients.
☞
Do not adjust the seat or back support
angle on rising and falling gradients.
– Danger of overturning!
☞
While driving in curves and when turn-
ing on inclinations and slopes there is a
danger of tilting.
☞
Avoid jerky changes of the driving con-
dition (especially with critically adjusted
driving parameters as for example high
delay values).
☞
Never move the drive/push mode se-
lection lever, to the push mode posi-
tion whilst driving uphill or downhill!
The vehicle will then roll downhill un-
controllably, without being able to be
steered and can only be stopped with
the parking brake.
☞
Avoid driving on inclinations or slopes
with insufficient surface condition. Even
with only on sided existence of ice, wa-
ter, moss or similar on the ground, there
is a danger that the vehicle will loose
traction and begin to slide out of con-
trol. If required immediately bring the
joystick into the neutral position and
additionally activate an existing hand-
brake on the vehicle in order to elimi-
nate the dangerous situation.
