DAnGEr !
Risk of injury due to tipping during operation.
Before driving up slopes or over obstacles, a
tilted seat must be lowered to its basic position,
the lift seat must be in its lowest position, and
the back must be in the upright position. Slightly
tilt the seat to the rear when driving down
inclines or over obstacles and reduce the speed
(max. 3 km/h).
DAnGEr !
Risk of injury if the power wheelchair tips over!
Before driving up slopes or over obstacles, a
tilted seat must be lowered to its basic posi-
tion and the back be brought into the upright
position.
DAnGEr !
Risk of pinching or crushin the fingers! Do not
reach into the danger zone between the frame
and the seat when tilting the seat. There must
not be any interfering objects or obstacles in
the tilting area.
DAnGEr !
Overloading the actuators can result in spin-
dle nut breakage and thus cause the seat to
drop or the backrest to fold back.
nOTE !
It is easier to tilt the seat, if the backrest is
inclined to the rear.
nOTE !
The actuators of the seat functions are not de-
signed for continuous operation but rather for
an operational load that is limited to a short
time only (10% operation - 90% stop). Gener-
al recommendation: With maximum load, the
actuators may be activated for 10 seconds;
then they should not be used for approximate-
ly 90 seconds. The electric seat functions are
not considered part of the driving function in
this case.
nOTE !
When getting into or out of the power wheel-
chair, bring the seat to a level position.
