The wheelchair has moving parts, such as the wheels, rods and joints.
Take note of the dangers your wheelchair may cause especially in the
presence of children and pets. Make sure they remain at a safe distance
from the wheelchair. The places that are especially dangerous are
marked with these symbols:
Avoid loose clothing or jewellery, which can become entangled in the moving parts.
If you are aware of a fault in the driving controller or any other critical part, do not drive the
wheelchair but deliver it immediately for service.
Brake releases must be returned to the DRIVE – position (D) after pushing or towing.
Using the chair on sloped surfaces can be dangerous if the brakes are released.
The wheelchair has four wheel drive and steering. Mastering the driving technique requires practice.
Avoid places where a loss of wheel grip can be dangerous, for example wet, sloping lawns.
The wheelchair has a balance adjustment system for improving driving safety and the overcoming of
obstacles. It is necessary to learn its correct use. Always check before driving that the seat is in the
correct position. Look at the section “Balance adjustment”.
Instability can arise when driving on slope if the balance is adjusted incorrectly. Adjusting the
balance on a sloped surface requires special caution.
The hill climbing capacity of the wheelchair is greater than the maximum safe driving declination.
Driving on a steeper ground than a slope of 10°, which is equivalent to a climb of one meter over
five meters, may be dangerous. Also, level differences greater than 100mm can be dangerous (see
the pictures below).
Always use low driving speed and avoid extreme steering movements when driving on a slope or
uneven surface.
