injuries (e.g. trapping your fingers). For this
reason, please allow your specialist retailer to
explain how to work these mechanisms and
then have a go yourself under instruction.
If required, you can have a suitable waist
belt fitted to your product. Please make sure
that the waist belt is set up so that it does not
have any negative impact on breathing, does
not strangle you should you fall or tip out of the
product and which you can easily remove
yourself.
When travelling, always carry a repair kit
and tyre pump for repairs in event of
punctured / flat tyre. A alternative to this is a
pump spray that fills your tyre with a foam that
hardens in the tyre.
13 Safety instructions – while
driving / using
Please note that some parts of your
product can become extremely hot in at hot
ambient temperatures (e.g. a sauna). This
means that above 50°C, the product may be
damaged and above 40°C there is already the
risk of burns for the user, which should not be
underestimated, particularly for people with
impaired sensitivity. For this reason, the
product should not be exposed to such
extreme temperatures. PRO ACTIV cannot
accept any liability or provide any warranty for
personal injury and material damage caused
by such stresses. There are also certain risks
that exist at extremely low temperatures, which
must be minimised by wearing appropriately
insulating clothes for example.
You may only drive on slopes where the
product can be safely controlled with the
handrims.
Use particular caution when approaching
stairs, edges, drops or other hazard areas.
Due to the high risk of tipping up and
being injured, you should never try to ride an
escalator in the product.
When driving round a bend, reduce your
speed to a minimum.
Do not ride parallel to slopes due to the
risk of tipping.
Please note that the knee lever wheel
lock, the integrated brake and the Stop Lock
brake which your product is fitted with is a
parking brake which may only be applied when
the product is at a standstill. These are not
service brakes which are suitable for reducing
speed.
Do not attach objects (carrier bags, etc.)
to the product.
Make sure that the passive illumination
(reflectors) are always on your product, are in
perfect condition and are clearly visible.
When driving on areas which are used for
pedestrians, observe the maximum permitted
speed (walking speed 6 km/h) and keep a
sufficient distance (if possible the width of a
wheelchair) from the kerbs or other obstacles
and other road users.
Avoid driving on unpaved or loose
surfaces (e.g. on loose gravel, in sand, mud,
snow, ice or through deep puddles of water).
When travelling on poorly maintained
paths (e.g., large gravel, potholes) there is an
increased risk of puncturing your tyres as well
as tipping.
When travelling on poorly maintained
paths with potholes and loose stones, drive
carefully to try to prevent the caster wheels
from becoming locked.
If you encounter new driving situations
which are unknown to you, approach them with
great care. If you consider that the risk is too
high, you must immediately abort the driving
manoeuvre and, if required, call for help to
assist you in extracting yourself from this
situation.
