Safety
2.4 Safety information on driving and freewheel
mode
WARNING!
Risk of injury if the mobility device tips over
–
Only ever negotiate gradients up to the rated slope
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 wet, slippery, icy, or
oily surfaces (such as snow, gravel, ice etc.) where
there is a risk of you losing control over the mobility
device, especially on a gradient. This may include
certain painted or otherwise treated wood surfaces.
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 (refer to 12
Technical data, page 55).
– Avoid shifting your center of gravity as well as abrupt
changes of direction when the mobility device is in
motion.
WARNING!
Risk of injury if the mobility device tips over
(continued)
–
Never use the mobility device to transport more than
one person.
– Do not exceed the maximum permissible load.
– When loading the mobility device, always distribute
the weight evenly. Always try to keep the center of
gravity of the mobility device in the middle, and as
close to the ground as possible.
–
Note that the mobility device will brake or accelerate
if you change the driving speed while it is in motion.
WARNING!
Risk 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.
WARNING!
The center of gravity of the scooter is higher than
that of a power wheelchair.
There is an increased tipping risk when negotiating bends.
–
Reduce speed before negotiating bends. Only
accelerate when you have come out of the bend.
– Be aware that the seat height strongly influences the
center of gravity. The higher the seat height, the
higher the risk of tipping.
