GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Risk of damage to the equipment or serious, even
fatal, injury if the control unit is used incorrectly.
• Undertake a test session with a healthcare
professional before using a joystick.
• If you are not used to control by using a joys-
tick, travel slowly and first familiarise yourself
with the driving and directional characteris-
tics of the wheelchair on a flat, unobstructed
route.
DANGER
Risk of damage to the equipment or serious, even
fatal, injury.
• Dropping lighted cigarettes onto a padded
seating system can start a fire likely to cause
damage to the equipment or serious, even fa-
tal, injuries.
• The occupants of a motorised vehicle are
more particularly exposed to a risk of serious
or even fatal injury associated with such fires
and the resulting smoke, as they are not always
able to get away from the electric vehicle – Do
not smoke when using this motorised vehicle.
WARNING
Risk of damage to the equipment or serious, even
fatal, injury.
• Inappropriate supervision or servicing are li-
kely to result in damage to the equipment or
serious, even fatal, injuries, following breath-
lessness or ingestion of parts or materials.
• It is essential for children, pets or people with
physical/learning disabilities to be supervised
closely.
• Don’t allow children or anyone else to use
your equipment.
WARNING
Risk of injury if the equipment is used for a purpo-
se other than that described in this manual
• The motorised vehicle must be used in accor-
dance with the manufacturer’s instructions. It
must not be used for a purpose other than that
for which it is designed. Pay special attention
to the safety instructions.
WARNING
Risk of damage or injury if the electric vehicle is
started unintentionally.
• Do NOT sit on the electric vehicle during the
adjustment phase.
• Disconnect the power supply to the electric
vehicle before getting onto it, getting off it or
handling objects.
• The brake disengagement mechanism must
only be used in an emergency situation and if
the power supply is lost.
• Do not push the vehicle by hand when the
brakes are applied and when the power supply
is disconnected.
• Don’t forget to reapply the brakes before put-
ting the vehicle back into use.
WARNING
Risk of falling from the electric vehicle
• Do not move forward on the seat, do not lean
forward and do not stretch backwards beyond
the top of the seat-back, such as to reach an
object.
WARNING
Risk of injury if driving under the influence of
drugs or alcohol
•
Never drive if you are under the influence
of drugs or alcohol. If necessary, ask for help
from someone else with appropriate physical
and mental abilities.
WARNING
Risk of injury if the contact is broken while the
electric vehicle is moving, such as after operating
the start/stop button or disconnecting a cable,
leading to the vehicle stopping suddenly and vio-
lently
• Never operate the stop button nor disconnect
a cable while the vehicle is moving, except in
an emergency, because it stops suddenly.
• If you have to brake in an emergency, simply
let go of the joystick to stop the vehicle.
SAFETY AND HAZARD INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
After an extended storage period at low tempe-
rature (–25°C), it is possible for the motor to turn
itself off after being turned on; this situation may
persist for about 2 minutes, after which the pro-
duct functions normally.
By following the instructions above, you will avoid
complete discharge cycles of the batteries and will
extend the operating life of the batteries when the
equipment is returned to service.
