1 x per month
and ensure all screw con­
nections are tight.

and the power wheelchair frame.
► Ensure that no body parts, such as hands or feet, are in the danger area while the seat functions are used.
► Ensure that no interfering objects, such as clothing or other obstacles, are in the danger area while the seat
functions are used.
WARNING
Overloading of the actuators
Risk of falling, tipping, pinching, crushing of limbs due to improper handling
► Avoid overloading the actuators. Overloading may cause components to break, leading to uncontrolled drop­
ping of the seat or causing the backrest to flip back.
NOTICE
Improper use of electric seat options
Damage to the product through user error
► When using electric seat options, note that the seat function actuators are not designed for continuous use,
only for short-term use under limited loads (10% load, 90% idle time).
►
Observe the following guidelines: at maximum load capacity, 10 seconds of activation time must be followed
by approx. 90 seconds of idle time. The power seat functions are considered independently of the driving
function for this purpose.
► Only activate the power seat functions if no fault or error is present.
8.12.2 Power seat height adjustment
WARNING
Improper use of the seat height adjustment feature
Falling, tipping over due to driving with unallowable seat settings
► Use the seat height adjustment feature only with the backrest in the upright position.
►
Drive in street traffic only with the seat height adjustment lowered.
► Even when driving indoors, fasten the belts and do not lean out beyond the seat surface when the seat height
adjustment feature is raised.
► Ensure that creep speed is activated when the seat height adjustment function is used. If this is not the case,
contact a specialist dealer immediately. Only use the power wheelchair with the seat height adjustment in its
lowest position until the fault is rectified.
NOTICE
