SPEEDY F1 usage instructions
10
If the product with the user needs to be
transported over an obstacle and there are
suitable facilities such as a ramp or a lift avail-
able, then these should be used. If such facili-
ties are not available, then the obstacle is to be
overcome by being carried by two helpers.
When carrying the product, it may not
be lifted
by the side sections, the drive wheels or the
footrests. We recommend holding the product
on the frame and back cross bar.
15 Safety instructions regarding
dangerous locations and dan-
gerous situations
The operator of the product determines
his/herself the area to be driven and the
wheelchair sport techniques to be used taking
the usage instructions, their driving knowledge
and physical abilities into consideration.
When driving in a curve or turning on hills
or downward slopes, there may be an in-
creased tendency to tip over to the side due to
the changes in the centre of gravity. Avoid
such driving manoeuvres. If these cannot be
avoided, perform these driving manoeuvres
with increased caution and only at a very slow
speed. If necessary, the driving manoeuvre
must not be performed or only with the help of
an assistant.
Use particular caution when approaching
stairs, edges, drops or other hazard areas.
Extreme caution is needed when driving
on ramps and lifting equipment on vehicles.
Ensure in advance that the ramp is wide
enough so that you do not risk the product
wheels slipping off the ramp. When lifting or
lowering a ramp or lifting equipment, the park-
ing brake of the product should be applied.
Always keep the product in the middle of the
ramp.
The grip of the tyres on the ground is
reduced under wet conditions. There is an
increased risk of slipping. Adjust your driving,
braking and steering behaviour accordingly.
16 Safety instructions – after driv-
ing/use
When getting out of the wheelchair, do
not tread on the footrest due to the risk of tip-
ping over.
17 Back system
Avoid falling into the seating and backrest
upholstery/back shell as it significantly in-
creases the risk of an adjustment, falling down
or defects.
