Safety instructions
F
For a safe operation of the movilino it is important that you observe
and adhere to all warning signs and instructions in this user's manu-
al as well as the warning signs and instructions on the device itself.
All general rules for the safe use of a wheelchair apply without reservation
while operating the movilino. You must always observe the limit values and
instructions indicated by the manufacturer (e.g. air pressure, maximum total
weight, maximum inclination, etc.). Limit values may never be exceeded.
To assure a safe use of the movilino, it is indispensable to observe the follo-
wing directions.
4.1
Special information concerning the operation:
Generally all of the
wheelchair’s specific limiting values indicated by the manufacturer must be
observed.
In the interest of your safety the pushing and braking aid movilino may not
be used on escalators, stairs, moving walkways or unfortified surfaces. You
may only move the wheelchair plus mounted movilino manually, if the device
is turned off. Please observe the instructions and limiting values of your
wheelchair’s manufacturer.
Before each operation you must put the safety chip for the engine immobili-
ser into its slot at the handle unit. Always make sure it has snapped into pla-
ce because otherwise the movilino does not work.
F
The wheelchair’s wheels may not be removed!
Please make yourself familiar with handling the device and its driving cha-
racteristics. Please use it first on level ground until you feel secure handling
it. Also practise at a low speed.
F
In the beginning, please always turn the speed control to its lowest
speed and increase it until you reach the desired pace.
F
Please reduce the speed before going downhill.
F
On slopes and inclines the movilino must always be activated!
Although the movilino manages inclines up to 18%, you may under no cir-
cumstances exceed the maximum approved inclination stipulated by your
wheelchair manufacturer. (Ramps in public places generally have an inclina-
tion of approximately 6%).
F
Please cross over obstacles such as curbs on sidewalks with a turned
off movilino. Crossing over higher curbs should be done backwards
because the rollers may jackknife. Please pull the wheelchair at its
handle not at the ones of the movilino. Also always check the height
of your anti-tilt support and keep in mind the wheelchair
manufacturer’s stipulated maximum height.
The current road traffic regulations apply when you use the movilino on pub-
lic roads. Should there be additional devices necessary, you need to mount
them to your wheelchair as soon as possible. In such case, please contact
your local dealer.
Please avoid driving parallel on steep slopes to avoid a tilting over sideways
of your wheelchair. Always counter-steer when the curb on the sidewalk is
slanting downward and remain at a safe distance to the curb.
