Figure 73: Rear ram bar
Due to the design with ram bars in the
front area of the product, there is an area be-
tween the footrest and the ram bar where it is
possible for the foot to get trapped. Therefore,
always make sure, if necessary, by special
fixing, that your feet cannot slip off the footrest
when using the product. Also ensure that,
when getting off the product, your feet do not
end up trapped between the footrest and the
ram bar.
To protect the ram bar from defects and
deformation from hard impacts, it must always
be protected by the plastic protective hose.
The protective hose is a wearing part which
must be regularly checked and replaced if it is
damaged.
24 Storage
When being stored, the product should be kept
in a dry environment and covered up where
possible.
To avoid corrosion and therefore malfunctions
or breakages of components, the product may
not be exposed to any aggressive environmen-
tal influences (especially salt) or to any strong
solar radiation. Because of the effect of salt
water in the winter and the humidity on rainy
days, it is not recommended to store the prod-
uct in the garage.
If the product is not used or is stored over
a longer period, if necessary, before using it
again, we recommend having a rehabilitation
specialist dealer give it a general function and
safety check.
25 Transport
25.1 Securing handling of the product
When loading or transporting, the product can
be held on the frame and on the back cross
bar.
25.2 Passenger transport in motor ve-
hicles
Transporting people, be it
the wheelchair user or other
persons, in vehicles has not
been tested by PRO ACTIV
and is therefore not ap-
proved. All vehicle occupants must only sit on
the seats installed in the vehicle during the
journey with the associated restraint systems.
Failing to observe this leads to increased risk
of injury for the user as well as for third-parties.
The waist belt which may be fitted is not
designed as a safety belt in a motor vehicle
and may not be used for this purpose.
25.3 Securing the product in a motor
vehicle (without a person)
To reduce the weight, individual components,
such as the drive wheels for example, can be
removed from the product and stored sepa-
rately. The product and all associated compo-
nents must be secured during transport so that
they are not damaged (e.g., by falling over)
and do not become a hazard to persons or
other products. Before transport, check with
your vehicle dealer about safely securing it
using the existing fitted lashing rings or other
securing devices. Suitable brackets are mostly
available in the vehicle and are described in
the operating manual of the vehicle.
When the product is in the transport vehicle,
you or your accompanying person should pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Secure and safely stow any components
from the product which have been previ-
ously removed.
