are also certain risks that exist at extremely
low temperatures, which must be minimised by
wearing appropriately insulating clothes, for
example.
Do not drive with this product on loose or
uneven surfaces.
If there is a loose or uneven surface at
the sports ground, please observe the follow-
ing: Avoid, where possible by driving around,
driving on loose surfaces (e.g. on loose gravel,
in sand, mud, snow, ice or through deep pud-
dles of water). When travelling on poorly main-
tained paths (e.g. large gravel, potholes) there
is an increased risk of puncturing your tyres as
well as tipping. When travelling on poorly main-
tained paths, drive carefully to try to avoid the
caster wheels from becoming locked. Where
there is large unevenness, there is an in-
creased risk of grounding due to the smaller
caster wheels and anti-tipping supports with
low ground clearance for sport use (maximum
traversable/avoidable obstacle height is nor-
mally 1 cm).
If there are downward slopes found on
the sports ground which you need to drive
over, please observe the following: You may
only drive on slopes where the product can be
safely controlled with the hand rims. Never
drive the product on slopes of more than 10 %.
Do not ride across slopes due to the risk of
tipping.
If there are uphill slopes found on the
sports ground which you need to drive over,
please observe the following: Do not ride
across uphill slopes due to the risk of tipping.
Do not stop on a steep slope, otherwise there
is a risk of losing control of the product. If pos-
sible, do not turn on a slope or change your
direction.
When driving in curves, reduce your
speed to a minimum and if possible, lean your
upper body towards the curve.
Do not attach objects (carrier bags, etc.)
to the product.
The product can affect other devices, for
example theft protection barriers in department
stores.
The product is only intended for transport-
ing one person with limited mobility and must
not be used for any other purpose, e.g. for
transporting goods.
When using for sports, the anti-tipping
supports should always be used as there is an
increased risk of tipping over.
The product may only be propelled using
the hand rims. If you propel the chair with the
tyres (thumbs or fingers on the tread of the
tyre), there is the risk of crushing or otherwise
injuring fingers and thumbs.
Do not reach into the area of the spokes
or other tight spaces in the area of the wheels.
There is an increased risk of being injured
here, particularly while in motion. If you have
limited coordination of your limbs, then you
should cover the spokes with a spoke shield,
for example, to minimise the risks.
Smoking when using the wheelchair
should be forgone, as the seat and back sys-
tem may be damaged due to dropping ash.
