BEFORE USING THE HAND CONTROL
The hand control and control linkage cuts down the space and adjustment area of the driver’s seat.
Therefore special diligence for driving the vehicle is demanded.
The physically impaired persons who have limited mobility to their legs, the use of a pedal guard for
the accelerator and brake is mandatory in order to avoid an uncontrolled activation or blockage of
the pedals.
IMPORTANT:
A pedal guard is not included in the delivery of a hand control or the installation kit.
It must be ordered separately for the specific vehicle type. Ask your mobility dealer
about Veigel/Mobility Products & Design Pedal Guards.
GET FAMILIAR WITH YOUR HAND CONTROL
Each installation of the Veigel Hand Control is unique. The location and position of the controls
depends on the interior space and construction of the vehicle.
Make sure your know where each control is, and be certain of your ability to quickly reach and operate
the controls comfortably.
In addition, you must be certain that the accelerator and brake controls will not be accidentally moved
when you or your passengers enter, exit or riding in the vehicle.
LEARN TO USE THE CONTROLS
Physically impaired persons, not familiar with the use of a hand control, should make their first driving
test on a proving ground or similar location. Drivers must be certain that they can use the control to
safely operate the vehicle before driving on public roads.
