Safety
WARNING
Risk of tipping due to changes in the centre of gravity.
The effects of changes in the centre of gravity on the be-
haviour of the power wheelchair on inclines, side hills or
when crossing obstacles must be explored with the secure
support of an attendant prior to initial use.
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to incorrect lifting. At-
tendants may only lift the wheelchair by securely mounted
components, but never by the footrests or armrests.
WARNING
Risk of crushing or pinching in the power seat adjust-
ment and lifting areas. Due to the design, areas which
can cause pinching or crushing injuries when the seat
height, back angle, and seat tilt adjustments are activated
are found in the area between the seat frame and the
wheelchair frame. This must be explained to all attendants.
In order to prevent injuries, ensure that body parts such as
hands and feet are always kept out of the danger zone,
that no interfering objects such as clothing or obstacles
are in the danger zone and that no unauthorised persons
are present .
