USER MANUAL AND MAINTENANCE
3.2 Precauti ons to follow during use of Tribike
Tribike may only be used by users trained to use the device, and it is essenti al to carefully consider the
following warnings/contraindicati ons;
The device must be switched on and used only by users trained to use it.
• The device must not be used by individuals fi tt ed with pacemakers or other devices which are aff ected
by magneti c fi elds and electrostati c currents (e.g. insulin infusers). If in doubt, contact a doctor;
• Use of this electromedical device is prohibited for children and minors unless accompanied by an adult.
• Use Tribike exclusively for the transport of one person at a ti me;
• The use of the “Tribike” is recommended only for those people who are in a physical and psychological
state adequate to move in the pedestrian paths and for those who have suffi cient hands mobility in order
to be able to use the driving controls of the device and proceed in safe way;
• Always switch the device off before inserti ng it or removing it from the wheelchair;
• Avoid unnecessary risk, such as high speed, abrupt steering and laying/ti pping the wheelchair sideways;
• Also avoid moving over objects which may cause Tribike to stop suddenly or ti p over;
• Do not travel up or down slopes beyond the maximum gradient indicated in the secti on “technical
specifi cati ons”;
• Take maximum care when crossing roads;
• Ensure that you are always easily visible and identi fi able (wear refl ecti ve clothing in certain weather
conditi ons, if necessary) when using Tribike and switch on the lights provided when there is poor visibility;
• Adjust speed and driving style on roads with slippery surfaces (e.g. wet or with loose earth or gravel)
and never use Tribike on mud or ice;
• Check that the feet are positi oned correctly on the foot rest of the wheelchair, avoiding interference
with use of Tribike, and that the foot band is correctly adjusted;
• Keep travel speed under constant control, adapti ng it to the terrain and weather conditi ons and
maintaining prudence;
• Based on applicable legislati on, in Italy, the maximum speed permitt ed is 6 km/h on pavements and
pedestrian areas and 12 km/h on cycling paths;
• When braking at high speed, it is advisable to try to brake progressively, in order to avoid losing control
of the “Tribike” and determine a risk of overturning or collision. The IBS - Intelligent Braking System (Tribike
E Plus) eliminates this risk by automati cally modulati ng braking;
