II. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There is a risk of accident, injury or damage in certain conditions. One should read the
following conditions carefully.
• Do not use the chair under the influence of alcohol or medication which inhibits your
driving ability
• If needed ask for help from a companion
• Do not sit in or get up from your chair without having turned off the electrical system
in order to avoid involuntarily setting the chair in motion.
• While alighting from the chair, avoid placing both feet on the footrests. This risks tipping
the chair forwards, particularly on sloped surfaces.
• Do not leave the engine brakes engaged while being pushed manually if the terrain is
sloped.
• If you need to stop in an emergency, simply release the joystick, this will immediately
stop the chair. Pushing the on/off button will stop the chair briskly and violently.
• Avoid loading the chair into a vehicle with it’s driver still in the chair.
• If the chair must be loaded into a vehicle via a ramp with it’s driver in place, an assistant
must remain close in case of potential tipping. (while using a ramp, engage the manual
tracks mode).
• Do not use the chair like a seat in a vehicle
• Use a seatbelt for the duration of every usage
• Do not lean forward, to the side or over the top of the chair, especially if the terrain is
sloped.
• In order to transfer to another seat, bring the wheelchair as close as possible.
• Do not connect any electrical equipment to your chair, this operation should be
carried out by your distributor.
• Maneuvering the chair with the rear wheels set in place must not be practiced on a
sloped terrain. This may cause an uncontrolled and dangerous movement if the terrain
is sloped and the front wheels do not realign.
• Do not change from road mode to automatic stairs mode if the terrain is sloped
• If the terrain is sloped you can use the manual tracks mode and manoeuver the
wheeltrack, but it is imperative to raise the front wheel-set and only then the rear
wheel-set.
• In case of doubt, ask a companion who is capable of holding the chair.
