Operating instruction RAPTOR 4all & 4you
8
When travelling on poorly maintained
paths (e.g., large gravel, potholes) there is an
increased risk of puncturing your tyres as well
as tipping.
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.
You must not make telephone calls while
driving.
Operating the product can affect other
devices, for example theft protection barriers in
department stores.
When driving, never jerk the handlebars to
the left or the right, as this may cause the
product to tip over sideways in certain
circumstances.
While driving, never grab onto the area of
the wheel, in the area of the chain / sprockets /
chain wheels or into other rotating parts; if you
do you may cause injuries.
Only brake the product using the service
brakes.
During long trips the brakes of the product
may heat up. Therefore, do not touch the
brakes during or immediately after the trip (e.g.
when detaching the drive unit or loading the
product).
If the situation allows it, the speed should
be reduced by carefully applying the service
brake. Abrupt braking can cause the upper
body to fall forwards which can thereby result
in injuries or loss of vehicle control.
The product is only designed to be used
to transport persons with limited mobility and
must not be used for any other purpose, e.g.
by playing children or to transport goods.
If the weight load on the drive wheel falls
(e.g. when driving on slopes) or when driving
on loose / slippery surfaces, the braking action
of the wheel may be considerably reduced.
The driving style and speed should be adjusted
so that the product can be safely stopped at all
times using the brakes.
Always check the tight fit of the eccentric
pin and the securing cord.
Make sure that cables and lines are not
kinked or caught up somewhere. This could
cause them to be damaged which could lead to
the brakes and gear shift not working correctly.
In this case, the product must no longer be
operated.
Smoking when riding is forbidden as the
seat and back system may be damaged from
ash falling down.
When the product is exposed to direct sun
radiation or low temperatures for longer
periods, take note that the parts of the product
may become very hot (>41°C) or very cold
(<0°C).
14 Safety instructions regarding
obstacles
Driving on steps with the product is
forbidden.
Obstacles like curbs, for example, should
always be negotiated driving forwards and
always using the minimum speed required.
The ground clearance is decisive with
regard to negotiable obstacle heights. You will
find ground clearance in chapter 8.3.
When driving over or passing obstacles, it
is important that you avoid any product or body
parts catching on the obstacle as this may lead
to falling causing serious injuries to the user
and third parties as well as damage to the
product.
Always drive over curbs or other obstacles
so that you cross them to the front or at right
angles. If you approach them at an angle, or
only have one rear wheel on the obstacle,
there is an increased risk of tipping over to the
