Operating instructions SPEEDY F1

The lower edge of the anti-tipping support
wheels may not be any more than 8 mm from
the ground. If a larger gap is required or
necessary, then you need to work with your
therapists and doctors and your trainer to
practice and learn to handle the increased risk
of tipping.
Every time before you use the product,
make sure that the anti-tipping supports (with
length adjustable centre anti-tipping supports)
are firmly attached and the quick-release axles
on the caster forks (optional) and drive wheels
are also securely locked in place.
Depending on the optional extras, the
product may have folding/closing mechanisms
which pose a risk of crushing injuries (e.g.
trapping your fingers). For this reason, please
allow your rehabilitation specialist dealer to
explain how to work these mechanisms and
then have a go yourself under instruction.
If required, you can have a suitable chest
or waist belt fitted to your product. Please
make sure that the 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.
Secure the product from unauthorised
use, particularly by children.
14 Safety instructions – while
driving/using
Please note that some parts of your
product can become extremely hot in hot
ambient temperatures. 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.
Do not drive with this product on loose or
uneven surfaces.
If there is a loose or uneven surface at the
sports ground, please observe the following:
Avoid, where possible by driving around,
driving on 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, drive carefully to try
to avoid the caster wheels from becoming
locked. Where there is large unevenness,
there is an increased risk of grounding due to
the smaller caster wheels and anti-tipping
supports with low ground clearance for sport
use (maximum traversable/avoidable obstacle
height is normally 1 cm).
If there are downward slopes found on the
sports ground which you need to drive over,
please observe the following: You may only
drive on slopes where the product can be
safely controlled with the handrims. Never
drive the product on slopes of more than 10 %.
Do not ride across slopes due to the risk of
tipping.
If there are uphill slopes found on the
sports ground which you need to drive over,
please observe the following: Do not ride
across uphill slopes due to the risk of tipping.
Driving on a slope shifts the centre of gravity of
the product. If possible, lean your upper body
slightly forwards to work against the shift in the
centre of gravity. Do not stop on a steep slope,
otherwise there is a risk of losing control of the
product. If possible, do not turn on a slope or
change your direction.
