USER MANUAL AND MAINTENANCE
Maximum care is required when mounti ng and dismounti ng kerbs, avoiding those
higher than 50 mm.
Always approach the pavement at 90° and mount or dismount with the two wheels of the wheelchair
simultaneously.
WARNING! Approaching a kerb in any other manner signifi cantly increases the risk of ti pping.
• In case of misuse, the Triride may stop suddenly at any ti me during operati on.
• Avoid strong impacts with any obstacle, as this may harm you, Triride and your wheelchair.
• On upward and downward slopes, always maintain a straight path as far as possible, avoid unnecessary
steering and do not brake abruptly. This will avoid the risk of ti pping.
• On steep upward slopes, lean forward to bring weight over the front wheel, improve tracti on and avoid
possible ti pping;
• To avoid the risk of ti pping, never steer abruptly.
• On a downward slope, maintain a slow and controlled speed, constantly and gradually applying the
brake and avoiding stopping suddenly.
• Do not use the wheelchair brakes while driving, as this may cause them to lock and lead to losing control
of Triride.
• When travelling long distances, take the batt ery charger with you or take a spare batt ery.
• Check that the ti re tread is in good conditi on, and only use ti res of the same dimensions and
characteristi cs as those supplied by TRIRIDE S.R.L.
• Familiarise yourself with braking distances at diff erent speeds.
• Never use your Triride with a child on your knees.
• When braking at high speed, it is advisable to try to brake progressively, in order to avoid losing control of
the “Triride” and determine a risk of overturning or collision. The IBS - Intelligent Braking System (opti onal)
eliminates this risk by automati cally modulati ng braking.
• While turning, in order to improve stability and reduce the risk of ti pping, balance yourself by leaning
towards the centre.
• During driving and braking, hold the handlebars with both hands, otherwise an accident may be caused
by losing control of the directi on of travel.
The downward braking distance can be signifi cantly greater than on the level paths.
