Caution!
Do not drive against obstacles (including steps, curbs or doors) without braking first.
Caution!
When using lifting platforms, be sure that the power wheelchair stands centrally on the
lifting platform area and that none of the wheelchair's components, such as the anti-tipper,
protrude into the danger area.
Caution!
When using the wheelchair on lifting platforms, elevators or on the subway, switch off the
wheelchair control and ensure that the brake is locked.
Caution!
When driving downhill, reduce the driving speed (e.g. to speed level 1).
Note!
The maximal load for the power wheelchair is 120 kg/265 lbs.
Note!
The driving characteristics of the power wheelchair can be influenced by electromagnetic
fields (cell phones or other radiation emitting devices).
Turn off all mobile devices while driving.
Note!
The power wheelchair itself can generate electromagnetic fields that can cause
interference with other devices. The control should thus be turned off whenever its function
is not needed.
Note!
Ensure that the tires have sufficient tread depth and that they have the correct tire
pressure (see side of tire).
Note!
When driving in the dark, wear bright clothes or use reflectors. Ensure that the reflectors
installed at the side and the rear of the power wheelchair are clearly visible.
Note!
The power wheelchair is only functional in a temperature range from -25 °C to +50 °C.
Note!
The power wheelchair is not suited for driving on very slippery (e.g. icy) surfaces.
Note!
Avoid driving on very coarse-grained surfaces (gravel or scree).
