CAUTION
Safe positioning when using public transit
Crushing, pinching, impacts, collision with persons or objects, damage to the product due to human error
►
Only use public transit approved for the transportation of power wheelchairs.
►
Always observe the current applicable transportation guidelines of the transit company and/or the legal
requirements in your country when using public transit.
►
Always ensure that you are held in place securely when travelling on public transport. To do so, use the
wheelchair areas, wheelchair bays and restraint systems provided. Turn the power wheelchair off before the
vehicle starts to move.
►
The transportation of a person sitting in a wheelchair in public transit constitutes a significant safety risk for all
participants. We therefore recommend using the seats provided during transportation.
►
While using public transit, you are not permitted to sit in the wheelchair without an approved personal
restraint system.
INFORMATION
Only for control units with an electronic track stabiliser (gyro):
The electronic track stabiliser is disrupted by
the movement of the means of transportation (bus; train; ship) and therefore cannot function. If you must travel
short distances in a moving means of transportation, please activate the "No assist" add-on profile. This switches
off the electronic track stabiliser.
Hazards due to defective tyres
CAUTION
Defective tyres
Accidents/falling due to poor traction, reduced braking force or lack of manoeuvrability
►
Maintain sufficient tyre pressure. The correct air pressure is printed on the sidewall of the tyre.
►
Ensure that the drive wheels have the same pressure.
►
Ensure that the tyres have sufficient tread depth. The tyres must be changed when the tread depth is less than
1 mm
.
Additional information
INFORMATION
During use of the power wheelchair, electrical discharges (high voltage with low current; discharge via the user)
may occur which are caused by factors such as friction. However, these do not represent a health hazard.
Electrostatic discharge may also occur if the power wheelchair is equipped with puncture-proof tires. Retrofitting
the wheelchair with pneumatic tires can correct this problem.
6.7.2 Driving notes
General information:
•
Prior to each use, the charge level of the batteries has to be checked to avoid stalling due to drained batteries.
•
Beginners should always drive slowly.
•
Always take curves slowly.
•
Uncontrolled driving behaviour may occur on uneven ground. Therefore the speed must always be adjusted to
the ground conditions.
•
Driving backwards should be limited to manoeuvring or short distances on level ground.
Obstacles (steps, curbs, tracks):
•
Always approach obstacles directly from the front (never at an angle with only one front wheel).
•
Always reduce speed to cross over obstacles (e.g., select speed level 1 or 2).
•
Note the information on the critical obstacle height (see the section "Technical data"). Crossing obstacles
greater than the height difference specified there is not permitted.
•
Avoid jumping down from steps.
•
Do not lean out of the wheelchair while crossing obstacles.
•
Only cross railway systems and railway tracks in the designated areas.
