5 Introduction
Before starting your journey, familiarise
yourself with these operating instructions pay-
ing particular attention to the safety information
and hazard warnings contained within them.
Why not let therapists and doctors advise
you, your carers and assistants on how to use
the product and what you are safe to do with
the product based on your current ability. Clar-
ify with them as well which wheelchair tech-
niques you can learn on the basis of your abil-
ity. Under no circumstances should you do
anything with or in the product which you have
not learnt to and have not mastered.
You, your carers and assistants should
also seek advice from your therapists and doc-
tors as well as your specialist retailer on the
use and settings on your product as well as
available safety accessories (e.g. anti-tippers
and waist belt). It is then important that you
also follow this advice.
Overestimating your own ability or under-
estimating a dangerous situation or action with
the product can have serious consequences
for you and other people.
If you are not sure how to handle the
product or if technical faults occur, please con-
tact your dealer or PRO ACTIV before using it.
Make sure that when combining your
product with equipment made by other manu-
facturers (e.g. seat cushion, drive devices,
etc.) that the serviceability of the individual
components and the unit made up of them is
ensured. You can get information on the suit-
ability of a combination from the manufacturer
of the external components or from your spe-
cialist retailer.

Product description / purpose
Using the product as intended is essentially
based on replacing the walking ability of a
person who has difficulty walking or cannot
walk on a paved path by driving with the
wheelchair as far as is technically feasible. In a
figurative sense, "walking" means walking
speed when using a wheelchair. Particular
attention needs to be paid to this when using
an auxiliary drive.

Acceptable usage and operating
conditions / places of use
Only use the product on paved surfaces. Avoid
driving on unpaved or loose surfaces (e.g. on
loose gravel, in sand, mud, snow, ice or
through deep puddles of water), as this may
result in incalculable risks.
The maximum permitted load of the product in
its standard design is a 50kg payload. Individ-
ual customisation can be made to accommo-
date a higher load; this will be indicated on the
ratings plate. Please ensure that the load limit
indicated on the ratings plate is not exceeded,
even when transporting objects and carrying
out strength exercises in the wheelchair.
