DANGER
Children, incapacitated persons, or those that are insufficiently familiar with the device or physically unsuited, must

NOTE
For technical and safety info you can contact a Klaxon Dealer.
The device may skid on wet pavement, on gravel or on uneven terrain: always adjust speed and driving style to the conditions (weather,
surface, individual capacity, etc.); never drive straight towards an object, and drive carefully towards narrow passages.
Do not attempt to go over steps higher than 50 mm, both uphill and downhill, along the direction travelled. Do not drive the KLICK-
equipped wheelchair on roads with rated slopes that exceed 6°/ 10%. These obstacles must always be overcome frontally and slowly.
The proper way to go over steps and to go up slopes is shown in Figure 1.
If the pavement is wet or uneven, the maximum rated slope and the maximum height of the steps allowed must be considered lower
to ensure the user’s safety.
In the event of a collision, the user could suffer serious injury to body parts.
At high speed the user may lose control of the wheelchair and it may tip over. Never exceed 15 km/h, and avoid impacts in general.
Always use the KLICK-equipped wheelchair suitably. Always brake in order to avoid obstacles (steps, edges, door frames, etc.), during
descents, curves and/or dangerous slopes.
Driving performance of the KLICK-equipped wheelchair may be affected by electromagnetic fields. If a malfunction occurs in these
conditions please contact KLAXON or one of its authorised resellers.
Avoid contact with any liquid coming out of the battery if it is damaged.
While using the device, some system components can get very hot. A contact of these components with the skin may cause scalding
and burns: be extremely careful to avoid contact.
Always observe the operating limits for the manual wheelchair on which the KLICK system is installed.
3. INTENDED USE OF THE DEVICE
KLICK devices can be used to add an auxiliary power assist system to most manual wheelchairs, quickly and easily.
Coupling the KLICK device to the wheelchair raises the front castors off the ground. The single wheel of the “traction unit” is then used for
steering.
KLICK devices are classified for use with wheelchairs to which they are coupled pursuant to CEI EN 12184. KLICK devices are also compliant
with the requirements of class B with maximum range of about 50 km (for the version with a charged 11 Ah battery, on a flat course and 75
kg user).
In accordance with the definition of class B of CEI EN 12184, the device is for indoor use and can handle outdoor obstacles.
Any other use or misuse could result in hazardous situations.
4. USAGE ENVIRONMENT
Operating Environment
KLICK series devices are made for use coupled to most manual wheelchairs on the market. KLICK solutions can be used both indoors and
outdoors, with the limits stated in this document, and in general with the same limitations set for the use of the manual wheelchair.
Medical use and types of users
KLICK is not intended for specific clinical use, but as a support to the mobility of persons who use manual wheelchairs. Therefore, bearing in
mind the operating precautions described in this document, there is no need for professional, technical or aptitude requirements to operate
or use a KLICK device.
