Warning:
Danger of malfunction due to electromagnetic interference!
-
Do not switch on or operate portable transceivers or communication devices (such as radio transceivers or
mobile phones) when the vehicle is switched on!
-
Avoid getting near strong radio and television transmitters!
-
In case the vehicle should be set in motion unintentionally or the brakes are released, switch it off
immediately!
-
Adding electrical accessories and other components or modifying the vehicle in any way can make it
susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Keep in mind that there is no sure way to determine the
effect such modifications will have on the overall immunity of the electronic system!
-
Report all occurrences of unintentional movement of the vehicle, or release of the electric brakes to the
manufacturer!
2.3 Safety Information on Driving and Freewheel Mode
Warning:
Danger of injury if the vehicle tips over!
-
Only ever negotiate gradients of up to the maximum defined in the Technical Specifications and only with
the backrest in an upright position, and the seat lifter in the lowest position (if installed)!
-
Only ever drive downhill at a maximum of 2/3 of the top speed! Avoid abrupt braking or accelerating on
gradients!
-
If at all possible, avoid driving on slippery surfaces (such as snow, gravel, ice etc.) where there is a danger
of you losing control over the vehicle, especially on a gradient! If driving on such a surface is inevitable,
then always drive slowly and with the utmost caution!
-
Never attempt to overcome an obstacle when on an uphill or downhill gradient!
-
Never attempt to drive up or down a flight of steps!
-
Always approach obstacles straight on! Ensure that the front wheels and rear wheels move over the
obstacle in one stroke, do not stop halfway! Do not exceed the maximum obstacle height (see Technical
Specifications)!
-
Avoid shifting your centre of gravity as well as abrupt changes of direction when the vehicle is in motion!
-
Never use the vehicle to transport more than one person!
-
Do not exceed the maximum permissible load!
-
When loading the vehicle, always distribute the weight evenly! Always try to keep the centre of gravity of
the vehicle in the middle, and as close to the ground as possible!
-
Note that the vehicle will brake or accelerate if you change the Driving Speed while it is in motion!
Danger of injury if you collide with an obstacle when driving through narrow passages such as doorways and
entrances!
-
Drive through narrow passages in the lowest Driving Speed and with due caution!
