Before the first use of the wheelchair
Hand brake
Fuse
When you stop the wheelchair, especially on an uneven ground, remember to pull the
hand brake, to increase safety. Pull the hand brake whenever you are sitting on the
wheelchair or you are getting off the wheelchair onto another type of seat. Remember
that improper pressure in tyres, worn tyre tread or wet tyres can reduce the effective-
ness of the hand brake.
When the wheelchair overheats, press the fuse to break the circuit
and protect it from damage. The location of the fuse is shown in
the figure.
• Check if batteries are fully charged.
• Check if the drive mode is turned on (clutch lever).
• Always plan your route ensuring that you will omit dangerous areas (boggy, difficult
areas) and obstacles, which you won’t be able to overcome in a wheelchair.
• Check that the seat is adjusted properly.
• Check if the speed is adjusted to your skills and capacity.
• Check if the horn is functioning properly.
ATTENTION!
• When sitting on the wheelchair do not lean your body weight on arm-
rests, as this may lead to personal injuries and the wheelchair may fall.
• Do not stand on foot-rests as the wheelchair may fall (except for the
upright position).
• Remember to check whether the wheelchair is deactivated, since inex-
pedient touching the control shifter when changing seats may make the
wheelchair move, and this can lead to fall and personal injury.
• During transfer try to stay as close to the wheelchair as possible, to avoid
slip and fall.
Warning!
Do not touch the motor because it risks burns.
