⚠
The wheelchair is EMC-tested. However, this does rule out the possibility of the wheelchair
being affected by
electro-magnetic fields, from mobile phones, for example. For this reason, transportable
transmission, receiving and communications devices should not be used or switched on when
the wheelchair is switched on. Should the wheelchair be started up unintentionally, or if the
brakes fail, the wheelchair must be switched off immediately. Note that this does not rule out
the possibility of the chair emitting electromagnetic fields, which may affect the surroundings,
for example, office alarm systems.
⚠
Warning; the chair’s electronics may cause so much electromagnetic interference that store
alarms, for example, and electric gates in the immediate vicinity of the wheelchair can be
affected.
⚠
Exercise particular care when driving down ramps.
⚠
When the chair’s brakes are released, the chair may start to roll if it is standing on a sloping
surface.
⚠
When braking (emergency braking) by pressing the On/Off button, the user’s upper body can
fall forwards and, in extreme cases, this may result in the user falling out of the chair. This form
of braking should only be used as an emergency stop.
⚠
Batteries should be charged in a well-ventilated area.
⚠
If the batteries are damaged and leak, contact your dealer, as it may be hazardous to come
into contact with the contents of the batteries. The wheelchair should then be stored in a dry,
well-ventilated room. Spent batteries should be taken to the local authority’s waste disposal
site for recycling. This also applies to other parts of the wheelchair, e.g. used tyres and tubes.
The whole wheelchair may also be returned to the dealer to be disposed of.
⚠
If there is a strong smell during charging (there may be a fault with the batteries), contact your
dealer, as it may be hazardous to breathe in the vapours from the battery. The wheelchair
should then be stored in a dry and well-ventilated room.
