6 Starting up
DANGER - Operation only by a single, trained person. This person must be physically
and mentally able to safely operate the SOLO and may not suffer from cognitive
impairments!
DANGER - Never use without both anti-tip supports to prevent the wheelchair from tipping
backwards!
DANGER - Avoid parallel journeys on steep hillsides or rails, to prevent the wheelchair from
overturning!
DANGER - Cross over roads, crossroads and railway crossings with increased caution!
DANGER - Avoid driving on slopes with the SOLO deactivated, as there is no braking effect
when doing so.
DANGER - Do not use on escalators or travellators to avoid injuries caused by a
crash or the falling out of the occupant and the occurrence of damage to property!
WARNING - Do not drive up stairs or steps to prevent the wheelchair from overturning!
WARNING - Avoid driving in heavy rain, ice, snow and on unsurfaced ground (sand, mud,
loose crushed rock) to prevent slipping!
WARNING - During driving breaks, when using local transport (buses, trams, etc.) and when
transferring, switch the SOLO off and apply the parking brakes to prevent the wheelchair from
rolling away.
WARNING - Drive down slopes at the lowest speed to avoid dangerous situations!
WARNING - When driving on public roads, observe the road traffic regulations!
WARNING - Practise outdoors on a level surface and at low speed!
WARNING - Never reach into rotating/moving parts to avoid crushing.
WARNING - If the drive elements become blocked or when the driving behaviour
changes, switch off SOLO immediately and do not use it.
WARNING - Observe the maximum total permissible weight (refer to chapter "Technical
data").
CAUTION - Always overcome kerbs/obstacles backwards (refer to chapter "Overcoming
obstacles").
CAUTION -
Maintain sufficient distance to the edge of the kerb to avoid damage!
CAUTION - When using seat supports (cushions, etc.), ensure that the occupant is
securely seated to prevent the occupant from falling out or slipping!
