3.2. The user
Driving a powered wheelchair requires the user to have cognitive, physical and
visual abilities. The user must be capable of estimating the consequences of any
action taken while driving the wheelchair and of correcting action where required.
The wheelchair must not carry more than one person. The maximum user
weight is 160 kg, unless otherwise stated on the identification plate (see 2.4). Any
additional weight in the form of a bag, accessories or medical equipment must
be added to the user's weight, with the resulting total weight not exceeding the
maximum user weight.
The user must also be aware of the contents of this manual before using the
wheelchair for the first time. The wheelchair user must also have received
thorough instruction from the dealer before using public roads. A trainer/
consultant must supervise the user's first experience of driving the wheelchair.
Warning
• The wheelchair user shall at all times be fully responsible for compliance with
locally applicable safety regulations and guidelines.
•
You must not drive the wheelchair while under the influence of any substances
that may affect your driving ability.
• Your eyesight must be good enough to allow you to use the wheelchair in any
particular situation safely.
• Do not seat more than one person in the wheelchair.
