NOTE
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 wheelchair without restrictions. Attention must be paid to the body
proportions, such as height, weight distribution, abdominal girth, leg and calf girth 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 (see chapter
"Technical
specifications" as from page 105 )! It may possibly be necessary to carry out adaptations to the
seat system.
5.1 Before driving for the first time...
Before you take your first trip, you should familiarise yourself well with the operation of the vehicle
and with all operating elements. Take your time to test all functions and driving modes.
NOTE:
If installed, make sure to properly adjust and use the postural belt each time you use the
wheelchair.
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 intended to be covered.
• The postural belt (if installed) is in perfect order.
