Use the Hand Controls Safely
• Make sure you know how much force and control movement is required to accelerate, slow down,
and brake the vehicle. Be sure you can speed up and slow down at safe rates.
• Each driver must practice using the hand control before driving on public roads. Make sure you
can operate the control safely while observing good driving practices and paying attention to traffic
conditions.
• Non-physically impaired drivers must normally use the gas and brake pedals, instead of using the
hand control.
• The Veigel Hand Controls are only intended for right-hand installation and operation. Do not
modify for left-hand operation.
• The hand control reduces the space in the foot well on the driver’s side. Make sure anyone driving
the vehicle fits comfortably in the available space and can reach the controls without reaching or
stretching.
Make Sure Controls are in Good Working Order
• Do not use the hand control if any kind of malfunction is apparent. Any damage or malfunction must
be repaired before driving the vehicle using the hand controls.
• Before each drive, make sure nothing is blocking the control’s movement. The control’s full range
of motion must be unobstructed in all directions.
• If you detect any irregularities, please have the unit checked by a qualified technician without delay.
• Alterations or attachments in the area of the hand control, dashboard and center console are not
permitted. Do not mount accessories (beverage holders, cell phone carriers, etc.) on or near the
hand control.
• The hand control is for use in vehicles equipped with automatic transmission. The hand control does
not operate a clutch or shift the vehicles gear lever.
• Do not modify the hand control in any way without specific written approval by Veigel.
