WARNING!
Risk of injury if the mobility device tips over
• Inclines and declines can only be travelled up to the maximum safe
slope
• Always return the backrest of your seat or the seat tilt to an upright
position before ascending slopes. We recommend that you position
the seat backrest and the seat tilt (if fitted) slightly to the rear before
descending slopes.
•
Only ever drive downhill at a maximum of 2/3 of the top speed. Avoid
abrupt braking or accelerating on gradients.
• If at all possible, avoid driving on wet, slippery, icy, or oily surfaces
(such as snow, gravel, ice etc.) where there is a risk of you losing
control over the vehicle, especially on a gradient.
• This may include certain painted or otherwise treated wood surfaces.
If driving on such a surface is inevitable, and then always drive slowly
and with the utmost caution.
• Never attempt to overcome an obstacle when on an uphill or
downhill gradient.
•
Never attempt to drive up or down a flight of steps with your mobility
device.
• Avoid shifting your centre of gravity as well as abrupt joystick
movements and changes of direction when the mobility device is in
motion.
• Never use the mobility device to transport more than one person.
• Do not exceed the overall maximum permissible load or the
maximum load per axle
• Note that the mobility device will brake or accelerate if you change
the driving mode whilst the mobility device is in motion.
• To assure stability and proper operation of your mobility device, you
must at all times maintain proper balance. Your power wheelchair
has been designed to remain upright and stable during normal daily
activities as long as you DO NOT move beyond the centre of gravity.
• DO NOT lean forward out of the mobility device any further than the
length of the armrests.
• DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the
seat or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your
knees.
