2.5 Safety information on driving and freewheel mode
Danger of injury if the wheelchair tips over!
•
Inclines and declines can only be travelled up to the maximum safe slope (see chapter
" Technical specifications " from page 105).
•
Always return the backrest of your seat or the seat tilt to an upright position before ascending
slopes. We recommend that you position the seat backrest and the seat tilt (if fitted) slightly to
the rear before descending slopes.
•
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 with your wheelchair.
•
When overcoming obstacles, always observe the maximum obstacle height (see chapter
" Technical specifications " from page 105 and information about overcoming obstacles in
chapter " Taking Obstacles " from page 34).
•
Avoid shifting your centre of gravity as well as abrupt joystick movements and changes of
direction when the wheelchair is in motion.
•
Never use the wheelchair to transport more than one person.
• Do not exceed the overall maximum permissible load or the maximum load per axle (see
chapter
" Technical specifications " on page 105).
•
Note that the wheelchair will brake or accelerate if you change the Driving Mode whilst the
wheelchair is in motion.
