Warning

The Adapt has been tested and approved for the safe transport of children in vehicles
according to ISO 7176-19.

If possible, we recommend using a properly approved seat in the vehicle during
transport and storing the product securely in the vehicle's cargo compartment.

Use an approved 4-point restraint system to secure the seat and its occupant in a
transport vehicle. The optional seat belt is not a safety belt.

Also use an approved 3-point safety belt to transport the user safely (in the forward-
facing position).

If you need to sit in the wheelchair for extended periods of time, you should regularly
change your sitting position, move around or try to stand up briefly. Check that there
are no seams, folds or other irregular pressure points on the back support and seat.
This helps prevent sores (pressure ulcers).

Check your skin for intactness before and during use of the product. If skin damage or
other problems occur during use, stop using the product. Consult the qualified per-
sonnel.

Never reach too far out of the product, as you may fall over.

Drive slowly when crossing obstacles (e.g. steps, curbs) and negotiating uphill or down-
hill slopes and inclines.

Never cross obstacles at an angle. Always approach obstacles head on (at an angle of
90°). Raise the caster wheels before crossing obstacles.

Avoid collisions with obstacles and dropping off curbs/ledges.

Avoid driving on unpaved ground.
