6.1 Driving
CAUTION!
Risk of unexpected driving behaviour due to
locked castors
If your mobility device is fitted with castor locks
and these are locked, the castors cannot move
freely and the mobility device might therefore
not react to your steering as it should.
– Make sure the castor locks are unlocked before
driving.
Ensure that all inspections checks are successfully
passed before using the mobility device. See
9.3
Inspection Checks, page 108 .
The maximum load capacity that is stated in the
technical data only states that the system is designed
for this mass in total. However, this does not mean
that one can sit a person with this body weight in
the mobility device without restrictions. Attention
must be paid to the body proportions, such as
height, weight distribution, abdominal belt, leg
and calf strap and seat depth. These factors have
a strong influence on driving features such as tilt
stability and traction. The permissible axle loads in
particular must be adhered to (refer to
11 Technical
Data, page114 ). It may possibly be necessary to carry
out adaptations to the seat system.
6.2 Before Driving for First Time
Before you take your first trip, you should familiarise yourself
well with the operation of the mobility device and with all
operating elements. Take your time to test all functions
and driving modes.
If installed, make sure to properly adjust and use the
posture belt each time you use the mobility device.
Sitting comfortably = Driving safely
Before each trip, make sure that:
• You are within easy reach of all operating controls.
• The battery charge is sufficient for the distance you
intend to travel.
• The posture belt (if installed) is in perfect order.
• The rear mirror (if installed) is adjusted so you can look
behind at all times without having to bend forward or
shift your seating position.
6.3 Parking and Stationary
When parking your mobility device or if your mobility device
is stationary for a prolonged period:
1. Switch the mobility device’s power system off (ON-/OFF
key).
2. Activate your anti-theft lock, if existing.
6.3.1 Activating and deactivating the manual wheel lock
The motors of the mobility device are equipped with
automatic brakes, preventing that the mobility device starts
rolling out of control when the joystick box is switched off.
