WHEEL-E usage instructions

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 crossing
main roads, intersections and level crossings.
Crossing rails in the road or at level crossings
must never be undertaken while driving paral-
lel, otherwise the wheels could become caught
which would result in the wheelchair and the
product being unable to manoeuvre.
Before driving on a ramp and lifting
equipment on vehicles, ensure that they are
wide enough so that you do not risk one of the
product or wheelchair wheels slipping off the
ramp. During the lifting or lowering operation of
the ramp or the lifting equipment, the drive
system must be switched off and the service
brake of the product must be actuated. 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 Ending the driving operation
Switch off the drive (chapter 20.5.1). To make
getting out of the wheelchair more simple, the
product can be disconnected from the wheel-
chair (see usage instructions "Adapter and
adaptation").
The product may only be disconnected with the
drive turned off to prevent any unintended
drive signals.
17 Safety instructions –
after driving/use
Always turn off the drive system immedi-
ately when it is not in use to prevent accidental
triggering of a drive signal and to prevent the
rechargeable batteries from being discharged.
Always observe the usage instructions
and recommendations in the drive manufactur-
er's usage instructions concerning charging the
rechargeable batteries.
18 Adapter and adaptation
Where necessary and ordered, a suitable
adapter for your wheelchair is included with the
delivery.
Please read the usage instructions and as-
sembly usage instructions "Adapter and adap-
tation" before using the product.
The product may only be adapted and
uncoupled when the drive system is switched
off and on firm and even ground.
The adapter must at least have the same
user weight approval as the product.
19 Drive wheel and tyre pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressure at regular
intervals as well as after extreme temperature
effects. The
recommended tyre pressure is
printed on the side of the tyre
. This should
be observed.
Insufficient tyre pressure has a negative
effect on the handling. Apart from that, there is
an increased risk of a flat tyre.
If the pressure is too high, the tyre may
burst. For this reason, product tyres may not
be exposed to unusually high temperatures
such as under glass in the summer.
When inflating the tyres, make sure that
the prescribed air pressure is not exceeded.
To check or correct the tyre pressure
, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Secure the product to prevent it rolling
away.
2. The drive wheel is normally fitted with a car
tyre valve. Unscrew the valve cap.
