12 Safety instructions –
prior to driving/use
Before every trip, check the condition of
the wheels (e.g. visual inspection of the spokes
and rims, check the tyres for damage, foreign
bodies and crack formation). If you have any
doubts about the serviceability of the product,
stop using it. In this case, contact your rehabili-
tation specialist dealer or PRO ACTIV.
Check the tyre pressures at regular inter-
vals. Ensure that you comply with the manu-
facturer's specifications which can be found on
the tyres. When the tyre pressure is too low, it
has a detrimental effect on the driving behav-
iour, the range, and the braking reaction of the
product. Moreover, there is an increased risk of
a flat tyre.
Before each trip, check the safe locking of
the wheels and adaptation of the drive unit.
Secure the safety cord to the lever of the
eccentric pin. The use without the safety cord
attached is not permitted (see chapter 23).
Before starting your trip, check all electri-
cal plug connections for firm contact and the
rechargeable batteries for firm seating in the
rechargeable battery holders.
Before starting your trip, check the func-
tioning of the product's brake. If all existing
brakes are not fully functional, no trips may be
taken.
Check the stable condition of the seat
and backrest upholstery at regular intervals
and in case of doubt, have your rehabilitation
specialist dealer assess its condition.
Always ensure that your feet cannot slip
out off the leg rest and make contact with the
drive wheel when using the product, if neces-
sary by using a special fixation device (e.g.,
using the hook-and-loop straps included in the
scope of supply).
Depending on the equipment, the product
may have folding/closing mechanisms that
pose a risk of crushing injuries (e.g. pinching
your fingers). For this reason, please allow
your rehabilitation specialist dealer to explain
how to work these mechanisms and then have
a go yourself under instruction.
If present, check the function of the front
and rear lights as well as the effectiveness of
the side and rear reflectors before every trip.
Lights and reflectors must be clearly visible
during the trip and must not be covered by
objects.
It is recommended that you only take a
trip with completely charged rechargeable
batteries. If this recommendation is not fol-
lowed, you must take into account that the
range will be restricted when planning your
route. When driving long distances, it is rec-
ommended to take along a fully charged re-
placement rechargeable battery.
To minimise the risk of suffering serious
head injuries in the event of a fall, a helmet
should always be worn when driving with the
product.
When travelling, always carry a repair kit
and tyre pump for repairs in event of punc-
tured/flat tyre. An alternative to this is an
emergency puncture repair spray that fills your
tyre with a foam that hardens in the tyre.
13 Safety instructions – while driv-
ing/using
Please note that some parts of your prod-
uct can become extremely hot in high ambient
temperatures. This means that above 50°C,
the product may be damaged and above 40°C
there is already the risk of burns for the user,
which should not be underestimated, particu-
larly for people with impaired sensitivity. For
this reason, the product should not be exposed
to such extreme temperatures. PRO ACTIV
cannot accept any liability or provide any war-
ranty for personal injury and material damage
caused by such stresses. Similarly, there are
also certain risks at extremely low tempera-
tures.
