narrow paths, slopes (e.g. ramps and
driveways), narrow paths on a slope,
mountainous routes.
narrow and/or steeply sloping paths along
main roads or near cliffs.
routes which are covered in leaves, snow
or ice.
ramps and lifting equipment on vehicles.
When driving in a circle or turning on hills
or downward slopes, there may be an
increased tendency to tip over to the side due
to the changes in the centre of gravity. Avoid
such driving manoeuvres. If these cannot be
avoided, perform these driving manoeuvres
with increased caution and only at a very slow
speed. If necessary, the driving manoeuvre
must not be performed or only with the help of
an assistant.
Use particular caution when approaching
stairs, edges, drops or other hazard areas.
When waiting at potential hazard areas
(e.g. while waiting at a pedestrian crossing, on
hills or slopes or at ramps of any type), always
hold down the service brakes.
When crossing main roads, intersections
and level crossings, extreme caution is
needed. Crossing rails in the road or at level
crossings must never be undertaken while
driving parallel, otherwise the wheels could
become caught which would result in the
wheelchair and the product being unable to
manoeuvre.
When driving on ramps and lifting
equipment on vehicles, extreme caution is
needed. Ensure in advance that the ramp is
wide enough so that you do not risk one of the
product or wheelchair wheels slipping off the
ramp. During the lifting or lowering operation of
the ramp or the lifting equipment, the drive
system must be switched off and the service
brake of the product must be actuated. In this
way rolling away due to unintentional drive
commands, for example, can be prevented.
Always keep the product in the middle of the
ramp.
The grip of the tyres on the ground is
reduced in the wet. There is an increased risk
of slipping. Adjust your driving, braking and
steering behaviour accordingly.
17 Ending the driving operation
Switch off the drive (chapter 21.4.1). To make
getting out of the wheelchair more simple, the
product can be disconnected from the
wheelchair (see operating instructions
"Adapter and adaptation").
The product may only be disconnected with the
drive turned off to prevent any unintended
drive signals.
18 Safety instructions – after
driving/use
Always turn off the drive system
immediately when it is not in use to prevent
accidental triggering of a drive signal and to
prevent the rechargeable batteries from being
discharged.
Always observe the instructions and
recommendations in the drive manufacturer's
operating instructions concerning charging the
rechargeable batteries.
19 Adapter and adaptation
Where necessary and ordered, a suitable
adapter for your wheelchair is included with the
delivery.
Please read the operating instructions and
assembly instructions "Adapter and
adaptation" before using the product.
The adaptation and uncoupling of the
product may only be performed when the drive
system is switched off in order to prevent
unintended drive signals.
