A stable sitting position is to kept while
using the electric wheelchair, even when
not in motion and especially on hills and
slopes. – Danger of accidents!
In a safe sitting position the back of the
user lies directly on the back support up-
holstery and the hip of the user is at the

Transit out of the electric wheelchair
on hills/slopes may only be carried out
in emergencies and with the aid of an

Adjust the seat inclination only when the
electric wheelchair is standing on a hori-

Before starting to drive make sure that no
negative seat inclination has been adjust-
ed, respectively that a safe seating posi-
tion is ensured.

result in injury! Prevent such heating by
parking the electric wheelchair in a shad-
ed area.
Special attachment points for carry-along
objects are the optional baggage rack or
push handles. – The maximum permitted
additional load on the push handles is
5 kg.
Only transfer into or out of the seat when
the electric wheelchair is switched off and
