Operating instructions LITTY 4you

To overcome obstacles such as curbs or
steps, the wheelchair needs to be actively
tipped as otherwise the caster wheel could jam
at right angles to the obstacle and could block.
This could damage the caster wheel or the
caster fork and cause injury. If actively tipping
it is not possible, then the obstacle should not
be approached or you need to request assis-
tance from an accompanying person. Particu-
lar attention needs to be paid to this when
using an auxiliary drive.
14 Safety instructions regarding
dangerous locations and dan-
gerous situations
The operator of the product determines the
route to be driven taking the operating instruc-
tions, their driving knowledge and physical
abilities into consideration.
The personal driving skills are particularly im-
portant in the following dangerous locations
which are provided as examples; the product's
user must use their judgement before driving in
such locations:
quay walls, landing and berthing locations,
paths and locations close to water, unse-
cured bridges and dykes.
narrow paths, slopes (e.g. ramps and
driveways), narrow paths on a slope,
mountainous routes.
narrow and / or steeply sloping paths along
main roads or near cliffs.
routes which are covered in leaves, snow
or ice.
ramps and lifting equipment on vehicles.
When driving in a circle or turning on hills
or downward slopes, there may be an in-
creased tendency to tip over to the side due to
the changes in the centre of gravity. Always
perform these driving manoeuvres with in-
creased caution and only at slow speed. If
required, the driving manoeuvre must not be
performed or only with the help of an assistant.
When crossing main roads, intersections
and level crossings, extreme caution is
needed. Crossing rails in the road or at level
crossings must never be undertaken when
travelling parallel to them, as otherwise the
wheels could become caught which would
result in the product being unable to manoeu-
vre.
When driving on ramps and lifting equip-
ment on vehicles, extreme caution is needed.
When lifting or lowering the ramp or the lifting
equipment, the parking brake should be ap-
plied.
The grip of the tyres on the ground is re-
duced in the wet. There is an increased risk of
slipping. Adjust your driving, braking and steer-
ing behaviour accordingly.
15 Safety instructions - after driv-
ing / use
Apply the parking brake on your wheel-
chair before getting out.
When getting out of the wheelchair, do not
tread on the footrest due to the risk of tipping
up.
16 Individual setting options
16.1 Seat height front and back & an-
gle of seat
The angle of the seat plate can be adjusted
using the
four rotation points on the sides
.
To do this, two M6 fixing screws (AF 4 mm)
need to be undone on each side. Using an
Allen key (AF 6 mm) the four rotation points
can now be rotated to the required position to
adjust the required seat heights.
After adjusting the seat height at the front and
back, make sure that the opposite rotation
points are positioned symmetrically flush or
respectively, that the opposite rotation points
are in the same position. Afterwards, tighten
the M6 fixing screws on the rotation points (AF
4 mm) again using 7 Nm torque.
