protection of the wheelchair user and assistant and for safe,
trouble-free use of the wheelchair.
WARNING!
Risk of death or serious injury
In case of fire or smoke, wheelchair occupants
are at particular risk of death or serious injury,
when they are not able to move away from the
source of fire or smoke. Lighted matches, lighter
and cigarettes can cause an open flame in the
wheelchair surroundings or on clothes.

open flames or combustible products.

There is a risk of skidding on wet ground, gravel
or uneven terrain.
– Always adjust your speed and driving style to
the conditions (weather, surface, individual
ability, etc.).
WARNING!
Risk of injury
In a collision you could sustain injury to parts of
your body that extend beyond the wheelchair
(e.g. feet or hands).
– Avoid an unbraked collision.
– Never drive into an object head-on.
– Drive carefully through narrow passages.
