•
Please pay attention to the tilt prevention feature on steps, lifting
platforms and ramps. Make sure there is enough clearance on top,
on the bottom and on the sides.
•
The control unit must always be switched off when getting in or out
of the wheelchair.
•
All road traffic regulations must be observed when driving on
public roads.
•
The rear lights at the wheelchair must always be visible to other
road users.
•
If possible, wear bright, conspicuous clothing. This will make it
easier for other road users to see you.
•
Please note that the upholstery will heat up if directly exposed to
sunlight and may cause injuries to your skin when touched. You
should therefore cover these parts or protect the wheelchair from
exposure to direct sunlight.
•
Please note there is a risk of entrapment between moving parts
when adjusting, using and maintaining the wheelchair.
•
Please note the increased risk to the user, passenger and third
parties of getting trapped when using the electric seat adjustment.
•
Always place the seat and back rest in an upright position when
driving the wheelchair.
•
Driving on inclines is only permitted if the seat and back rest are in
an upright position.
•
At low ambient temperatures, the metal parts of the wheelchair
may cool significantly; avoid skin contact in this case.
•
If you notice unusual behaviour or damage to your electric
wheelchair, discontinue use and contact your specialist dealer.
2.2. Advice regarding EMC
interference
Despite meeting all applicable EMC guidelines and standards it is
possible that the wheelchair will experience interference from other
electrical devices (e.g. cell phones) or interfere with these. Should you
notice such interference, either turn off the other device or your electric
wheelchair and move it outside the interference range.
2.3. Brakes
After letting go of the joy-stick the electromagnetic brakes will slow
down the wheelchair atuomatically until it comes to a complete stop.
The engaged drives serve as a locking brake for the wheelchair. In
pushing mode, two mechanical locking brakes are available when the
drives are disengaged.
2.4. Use on public roads
The wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use. Please keep in
mind that you are using public roads and therefore have to observe
all road traffic regulations. Do not endanger other road users through
inconsiderate driving, especially on walkways.
2.5. Purpose

are intended for the occupant as the operator.
The Taiga electric wheelchair is able to handle long distances and
