• Never drive over obstacles with just one wheel.

6.3 Securing the wheelchair against roll-
ing away – Wheel locks
Risk of accidents!
If the tyres are wet due to rain or driving on wet paths,
the braking ability of the wheelchair is impaired/restrict-
ed. Perfect function of the wheelchair wheel locks can
only be guaranteed when the tyres are free of damage.
The wheel lock levers (A) are located near the drive
wheels on both side of the wheelchair.
Applying the wheel locks
Press lever (A) forward until the lever noticeably engages.

6.4 Behaviour during stops
Please observe the following points to ensure that you do
not tip with the wheelchair when stopped:
• Never reach for objects outside your normal reach =
arm’s length.
• Never lean too far over the side panels and the back-
rest of the wheelchair to reach objects.
• Do not slide forward in the seat to reach objects.
6.5 Information for attendants
6.5.1 Handbrakes for attendants
Risk of accidents!
• Check to ensure perfect function of the handbrakes
prior to each use.
• When parked, always apply the wheel locks to secure
the wheelchair against rolling away. Applying the
handbrake alone is not sufficient!
• In push mode, always apply both handbrakes simulta-
neously.
• To lock the wheelchair when stopped, always apply
both handbrakes and the wheel locks.
Braking while driving
Apply the brake lever (A) until the wheelchair comes to a
halt.
Let go of the brake lever to release the brake.
