TRIPLEX
• To overcome obstacles, please be sure to use ramps. Should it
be necessary to lift the Triplex over an obstacle, then only do so
without the occupant. Only lift by the solid parts of the frame.
• Avoid hitting obstacles (steps, curbs) at full speed.
• Please pay attention to the tilt prevention feature on steps, lifting
platforms and ramps. Make sure there is enough clearance on top,
on the bottom and on the sides.
• The control unit must always be switched off when getting in or
out of the wheelchair.
• All road traffic regulations must be observed when driving on
public roads.
• The rear lights at the wheelchair must always be visible to other
road users.
• If possible, wear bright, conspicuous clothing. This will make it
easier for other road users to see you.
• Please note that the upholstery will heat up if directly exposed to
sunlight and may cause injuries to your skin when touched. You
should therefore cover these parts or protect the wheelchair from
exposure to direct sunlight.
• Please note the increased risk to the user, passenger and third
parties of getting trapped when using the electric seat adjustment.
Please note that operating the wheelchair in
push mode by uncoupling the drive mechanism
will deactivate the electro-magnetic brakes. The
wheelchair should therefore only be used on level
ground in this mode. Non-observance may lead to
life-threatening situations.
2.2. Advice regarding EMC
interference
Despite meeting all applicable EMC guidelines and standards it is
possible that the wheelchair will experience interference from other
electrical devices (e. g. cell phones) or interfere with these. Should you
notice such interference, either turn off the other device or your electric
wheelchair and move it outside the interference range.
2.3. Brakes
The wheelchair is brought to a standstill by the automatic brake after
releasing the joystick. When the wheelchair is being pushed no parking
brake is available when the drive mechanism is disconnected. To lock
the wheelchair in place, you need to reconnect the drive mechanism.
Stop the wheelchair first. In an emergency, it can also be engaged
whilst in motion e.g. on steep paths.
2.4. Use on public roads
The wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use. Please keep in
mind that you are using public roads and therefore have to observe
all road traffic regulations. Do not endanger other road users through
inconsiderate driving, especially on walkways.
2.5. Purpose
The Triplex electric wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use
by persons with impaired mobility.
It is therefore sufficiently compact and agile for indoor use and also
capable of handling medium distances and overcoming small obstacles
outdoors. It is classified under category B according to the EN 12184
standard. The maximum load capacity is 120 kg.
