Operating instructions SPEEDY F1 

8

 The lower edge of the anti-tipping support 

wheels may not be any more than 8 mm from 
the ground. If a larger gap is required or 
necessary, then you need to work with your 
therapists and doctors and your trainer to 
practice and learn to handle the increased risk 
of tipping. 

 Every time before you use the product, 

make sure that the anti-tipping supports (with 
length adjustable centre anti-tipping supports) 
are firmly attached and the quick-release axles 
on the caster forks (optional) and drive wheels 
are also securely locked in place. 

 Depending on the optional extras, the 

product may have folding/closing mechanisms 
which pose a risk of crushing injuries (e.g. 
trapping your fingers). For this reason, please 
allow your rehabilitation specialist dealer to 
explain how to work these mechanisms and 
then have a go yourself under instruction. 

 If required, you can have a suitable chest 

or waist belt fitted to your product. Please 
make sure that the belt is set up so that it does 
not have any negative impact on breathing, 
does not strangle you should you fall or tip out 
of the product and which you can easily 
remove yourself. 

 When travelling, always carry a repair kit 

and tyre pump for repairs in event of 
punctured/flat tyre. A alternative to this is a 
pump spray that fills your tyre with a foam that 
hardens in the tyre. 

 Secure the product from unauthorised 

use, particularly by children. 

14  Safety instructions – while 

driving/using 

 Please note that some parts of your 

product can become extremely hot in hot 
ambient temperatures. This means that above 
50°C, the product may be damaged and above 
40°C there is already the risk of burns for the 
user, which should not be underestimated, 
particularly for people with impaired sensitivity. 

For this reason, the product should not be 
exposed to such extreme temperatures. 
PRO ACTIV cannot accept any liability or 
provide any warranty for personal injury and 
material damage caused by such stresses. 
There 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 following: 
Avoid, where possible by driving around, 
driving on loose surfaces (e.g. on loose gravel, 
in sand, mud, snow, ice or through deep 
puddles of water). When travelling on poorly 
maintained paths (e.g. large gravel, potholes) 
there is an increased risk of puncturing your 
tyres as well as tipping. When travelling on 
poorly maintained paths, drive carefully to try 
to avoid the caster wheels from becoming 
locked. Where there is large unevenness, 
there is an increased 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 normally 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 handrims. 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. 
Driving on a slope shifts the centre of gravity of 
the product. If possible, lean your upper body 
slightly forwards to work against the shift in the 
centre of gravity. Do not stop on a steep slope, 
otherwise there is a risk of losing control of the 
product. If possible, do not turn on a slope or 
change your direction.
