sible, passengers should use the seats and vehicle restraint systems already installed in the motor

Danger when overcoming stairs/obstacles
WARNING
Risk of falling in case of lacking assistance� Do not ascend or descend stairs without the assistance
of attendants. If devices such as ramps or elevators are available, they should be used. If wheelchair-
friendly access is missing, two attendants must carry the wheelchair over the obstacle.
WARNING
Risk of falling as a result of incorrectly set anti-tipper� If only one attendant is available when as-
cending or descending stairs, an incorrectly set anti-tipper (if mounted at all) can lead to severe falls.
Adjust the anti-tipper so that it does not come in the way of the steps during transport. Afterwards,
bring the anti-tipper back to its operational position.
WARNING
Risk of falling as a result of lifting the wheelchair incorrectly� Attendants must lift the wheelchair only
by parts that are firmly attached (e.g. not at the footrest or rear wheels). If your wheelchair is equipped
with height-adjustable push handles, ensure that the clamp levers are always firmly tightened.
