Supplementary user/safety
information
▲
Clean, passive lighting is required
for driving in public traffi c.
▲
Do not throw or drop parts belong-
ing to the wheelchair! – Removable
parts such as arm supports and leg
supports should be handled cor-
rectly to ensure lasting perform-
ance. To guarantee their function.
▲
Removable parts, e.g. arm supports
and leg supports, must be checked
for correct locking before the start
of each drive. Drive wheels with
defective linchpin (quick-fi t) axles
can detach from the wheelchair
during the drive.
▲
By adding on or removing acces-
sories/components the dimensions
and weight of the wheelchair
change which can affect the driv-
ing behaviour.
▲
Tyres are made of a rubber mix-
ture and can leave permanent or
diffi cult-to-remove marks on some
surfaces (e.g. plastic, wooden or
parquet fl ooring, carpets, mats).
▲
To prevent damages due to cor-
rosion do not use ore store the
wheelchair in damp rooms.
▲
Never leave children/adolescents in
wheelchairs unsupervised
▲
Always approach small obstacles,
e.g. steps or curbs, slowly and at a
right angle (90°) until the steering
wheels almost touch the obstacle.
Briefl y stop the wheelchair and
then drive over the obstacle.
▲
Keep well clear of rail grooves, rails
and gully covers or similar sources
of danger. If not possible, cross such
obstacles at a right-angle (90°).
▲
Maintain a suffi cient safety dis-
tance between the wheelchair and
drops, steps and obstacles. This
distance must allow enough time
to react and enough distance to
brake/turn.
▲
Always reduce the speed before a
curve. A sharper curve requires a
lower speed. Never lean outwards
in a curve.
