5 Introduction
Before starting your first journey,
familiarise yourself with these operating
instructions and the operating instructions of
the coupled wheelchair, paying particular
attention to the safety information and hazard
warnings contained within them.
Allow your therapists and doctors to
advise you, your carers and assistants, on how
to use the product and what you are safe to do
with the product based on your current ability.
Under no circumstances should you do
anything with or in the product which you have
not learnt to and have not mastered.
You, your carers and assistants should
also seek advice from your therapists and
doctors as well as the rehabilitation specialist
dealer about the use and settings of your
product as well as all the safety accessories
available (e.g. chest belt and waist-belt). It is
then vital that the advice from doctors,
therapists and the rehabilitation specialist
dealer should be followed.
Overestimating your own ability or
underestimating dangerous situations and
actions with the product can result in serious
consequences for you and other people.
If you are not sure how to handle the
product or if technical faults occur, please
contact your rehabilitation specialist dealer or
PRO ACTIV before using it.
When operating the product, the
wheelchair operating instructions must also be
observed. Information on limit values must not
be exceeded. If the values contained in the two
operating instructions differ, the lower limit is
the one which applies.
The control software is programmed at the
factory such that the drive system is supported
up to the defined maximum speed of 6 km/h or
15 km/h or 24 km/h. If changing the software, it
must be ensured that these requirements are
still met.
Never leave the product unattended,
either when it is switched on or switched off. If
this cannot be avoided, removing the
rechargeable battery/batteries and the display
can help prevent unauthorised use.
Secure the product against unwanted use
(especially by children) and theft e.g. by using
a lock.
When combining your product with
equipment made by other manufacturers,
make sure that the functioning of the individual
components and the unit made up of them is
ensured. You can get information on the
suitability of a combination from the
manufacturer of the third-party components or
from your rehabilitation specialist retailer.
The product contains small parts that may
represent a chocking hazard for children.
