General safety notes and driving restrictions

The engineering and construction of this wheelchair has been designed to provide maximum safety.
International safety standards currently in force have either been fulfilled or exceeded in parts. Never-
theless, users may put themselves at risk by improperly using their wheelchairs. For your own safety,
the following rules must be strictly observed.
Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments increase the risk of accident. As a wheelchair
user, you are also part of the daily traffic on streets and pavements, just like anyone else. We would like
to remind you that you are therefore also subject to any and all traffic laws.
Be careful during your first ride in this wheelchair. Get to know your wheelchair.
Before each use, the following should be checked:
• Quick-release axles on the rear wheels
• Velcro on seats and backrests
• Tyres, tyre pressure and wheel locks.
Before changing any of the adjustments of this wheelchair, it is important to read the corresponding
section of the user's manual.
It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause this wheelchair to tip over, especially when
riding uphill or downhill. When riding over a step or up an incline frontally, the body should be leaning
forward.
Danger!
NEVER exceed the maximum load of 125 kg for driver plus any items carried on the wheelchair. If you
exceed the maximum load, this can lead to damage to the chair, or you may fall or tip over, lose control
and may lead to serious injury of the user and other people.
Danger!
When it is dark, please wear light clothing or clothing with reflectors, so that you can be seen more
easily. Make sure that the reflectors on the side and back of the wheelchair are clearly visible. We
would also recommend that you fit an active light.
Danger!
To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first practice using your new wheelchair on level
ground with good visibility.
