– the brochure <

– the operating manual <

•
Comply with the max. permitted
rising gradient value specified in
the <
Technical data
> section.
•
The attachment/detachment of ac-
cessories/components alters the dri-
ving behaviour.
•
Tyres are made of a rubber mixtu-
re and can leave permanent or dif-
ficult-to-remove marks on some
surfaces (e.g. plastic, wooden or
parquet flooring, carpets, mats).
•
Only use the drive when the sup-
port castors that belong to
wheelchair are mounted.
•
Before starting to drive adjust to
the lowest final speed on the ope-
rating module so that a slow and
controlled start can be warranted.
•
Avoid sudden change to the oppo-
site direction, (e.g. change to for-
ward drive after driving backwards
without any movement of the stee-
ring wheel). – This can lead to acci-
dents due to full braking while
steering wheels are moving in-
wards!
•
Holes, stones, grooves, gully covers
and similar obstacles can lock the
wheels. Always be ready to brake.
Think ahead when manoeuvring.
Drive wide around obstacles if pos-
sible.
•
An exposure to high temperatures
from lamps, the sun or other heat
or light sources can damage the
upholstery. Protect the upholstery
with a cover and/or park the
wheelchair in a protected area.
