Safety

2.3 General safety instructions

•  The electrical wheelchair must only be used correctly.
•  The electrical wheelchair must only be used by trained users and must not be used by any other person 

than the user. 

•  The electrical wheelchair must only be used to transport one person.
• 

All safety instructions in this user manual and all other relevant documentation must be kept and complied 

with throughout the lifetime of the chair. The user manual must always be available to the user.

• 

The back and seat upholstery have passed the demanded tests for ignition, so they are fire-resistent. Ne-

vertheless extreme care should be taken when in the vicinity of flammable items and fire, including, for 

example, lighted cigarettes.

• 

To avoid discomfort when using the chair, damaged back or seat upholstery should be replaced as soon as 

possible.

•  Do not force the chair over obstacles when using it on hills and slopes.
•  The wheelchair must not be used on stairs.
• 

Avoid getting in or out of the chair while on hills or a slopes.

• 

The hip strap (accessories) gives the user extra stability. It must never be used as part of the strap attach-

ment system when securing the chair for transport in a vehicle.

•  Do not force the wheelchair along on hills or slopes of greater than 10°.
• 

Do not park on hills or slopes of greater than 10°, not even with the brake pad activated.

•  Do not modify your electrical wheelchair.

2.4 Safety requirements for transport, assembly and storage

• 

Only suitable lifting mechanisms may be used when transporting the wheelchair.

• 

Do not lift the electrical wheelchair in its seat frame. 

• 

Avoid touching any electrical components when transporting the electrical wheelchair.

• 

Make sure all moveable components are put into a locked position. 

• 

The wheel locks must be applied when transporting with a lifting platform in situations where the chair 

must be stationary, e.g. in lifts, buses, trains etc.

• 

The wheelchair must, to the degree possible, be placed in the middle of the platform and all components, 

e.g. the anti-tip device, must be clear of any area where there is a risk of them being caught during trans-

port.

• 

When adjusting and adapting the chair, all attachment features, e.g. screws and nuts, must be fastened ac-

cording to instructions.

•  All electronic components must be turned of during transport.
•  For transport in vehicles we recommend that, whenever possible, the user is transferred to the vehicle’s 

own seats and uses the vehicle’s own safety belts. If this is not possible, and the user therefore must remain 

in the chair, there must be an approved, mounted docking system in the vehicle.
