order to avoid dangerous situations and falls, user and at-

chair for children on level ground.

„ When driving downhill, reduce speed according to the

INFORMATION
The specialist dealer can use the parameter settings to
establish the user's desired default speed level or menu for
the power wheelchair after it is turned on.
The control unit of the power wheelchair switches to a safe
mode at elevated temperatures and after driving uphill for
extended periods of time, limiting the performance of the
power wheelchair. However, the user/attendant is able to
drive the power wheelchair out of a hazardous situation at
any time. The power wheelchair is fully functional again
once the unit has cooled down sufficiently (this may take
several minutes depending on the ambient temperature).
The power wheelchair has been approved for ascending or
descending inclines of up to a maximum of 12 %. Driving on
steeper inclines or downgrades is not permitted.
