KLICK devices - End User’s Manual (EN) - rev.7.2 of 2021.11.25
3. INTENDED USE OF THE DEVICE
KLICK devices can be used to add an auxiliary power assist system to most manual wheelchairs, quickly and easily.
Coupling the KLICK device to the wheelchair raises the front castors off the ground. The single wheel of the “traction
unit” is then used for steering.
The system consisting of the Klick device coupled to the manual wheelchair falls within Class B according to CEI EN
12184. The Klick devices meet the requirements of Class B as they provide a maximum autonomy of approximately
50 km (in the version equipped with a fully charged 11.6 Ah battery, driven on a flat course by an hypothetical user
weighing 75 kg).
In accordance with the definition of class B of CEI EN 12184, the device is for indoor use and can handle outdoor
obstacles.
Any other use or misuse could result in hazardous situations.
