5.2 General Safety Instructions

Danger!
To avoid potentially dangerous situations such as tipping, begin by familiarizing yourself
with your new power wheelchair by practicing on level ground.
Danger!
When using the wheelchair on inclines, ensure that the automatic brakes are operating
correctly.
Danger!
Use caution near flammables or fire, especially lit cigarettes. The back upholstery and seat
cushion catch fire easily.
Danger!
When using your wheelchair in the public traffic, observe the traffic regulations.
Caution!
When getting into or out of the power wheelchair, the wheelchair control must be switched
off.
Caution!
Do not use the footplates when getting into or out of the wheelchair.
Caution!
Familiarize yourself with how the power wheelchair reacts when the center of gravity
shifts, for example on ascending or descending slopes, lateral inclines or when clearing
obstacles. This should be done only with assistance from another person.
Caution!
Use the power wheelchair only for its intended purpose. The critical obstacle height is 10
cm. Therefore, driving over steps or curbs higher than 10 cm must be avoided.
