Prohibited Use - Handicare Hippo Bedienungsanleitung


If the weather is cold, the capacity of your wheelchair battery will be lower. Keep this
in mind when planning your journey. If it freezes, keep an eye on your battery
indicator!

The wheelchair was designed for outdoor driving. It is, therefore, resistant against
rain. However, sustained, heavy rain may cause dampness to get inside the system.
Therefore, avoid driving through heavy rain for any length of time and avoid deep
puddles.

Driving through loose sand will use up a lot of energy: keep an eye on the battery
indicator and watch out for overloading.

Adjust your speed when driving indoors.

Switch off your wheelchair if standing still for any length of time: this will prevent your
clothes, or those of bystanders, getting trapped and unintentionally causing the
wheelchair to start moving.

When travelling by taxi, always use the taxi-mounting set and the taxi cab's seat belt.

The wheelchair's driving behaviour may be affected by electromagnetic fields, such as
those caused by mobile telephones and other transmitters. Therefore, switch off
your wheelchair if you are using such equipment.

On the other hand, your wheelchair may also disturb other electromagnetic fields,
such as shop alarms.
