Klaxon TWIST Gebrauchsanleitung Seite 11

KLAXON Mobility GmbH - EN
It is advisable to drive through narrow passages at minimum speed and with the utmost
caution.
When using the TWIST device, the danger of tipping over when turning increases: reduce
speed before making a change of direction. Only accelerate again once the curve has been
exited and only when the front wheel is straight again (aligned with the Linking System).
When using the TWIST device, it is absolutely forbidden to make a U-turns or to start from
a stationary position with the handlebar turned on rated slopes of more than 3° (or less
depending on the pavement conditions) and at a speed greater than 1st gear, when riding
with the Controller, and 3 km/h, when riding with the handlebar, (or less depending on the
pavement conditions).
When entering a building and/or lift, always keep in mind the turning diameter of the
wheelchair equipped with the TWIST device. Avoid driving situations from which it is no
longer possible to exit because it is impossible to turn the wheelchair.
It may be difficult to manoeuvre in front of a lift or in front of a building entrance because
the wheelchair's turning diameter increases once the TWIST device is installed; this may be
in contrast to the building regulations or the actual dimensions of the entrances.
Absolutely never use the TWIST device along tramways, rails and metro tracks. Pay the
utmost attention, when passing a pedestrian crossing in the presence of tracks, to keep the
TWIST and the wheelchair wheels at a safe distance. Failure to comply with this precaution
could cause serious damages to the device and to the user. The same precautions apply to
water drains, manholes and all kinds of hollows along the way.
Please take into account that the stopping distance on inclines can be significantly greater
than on flat terrain.
Switch off the device before entering and before leaving an indoor ambient.
Make sure the surroundings are free of hazards, precipices, drains, obstacles, collision
elements, people and/or animals each time the device starts up or re-starts moving.
Avoid collisions, crashes, dangerous routes, routes near precipices, holes and/or drains and,
in general, any condition that could endanger one's own safety and the safety of people,
animals and/or property.
The TWIST device can be used only with compatible wheelchairs.
KLAXON provides to the distributors the Installation Manual which contains the coupling
criteria. Only authorised KLAXON technicians can decide, under their own responsibility,
if the specific wheelchair can be properly used with the TWIST device (according to both
wheelchair features and its general condition).
Using the device when not properly installed exposes the driver to the risk of losing control
of the vehicle.
The TWIST device may only be operated by a user who has the necessary psychophysical
capabilities to use the device in total safety.
The final evaluation of the user's capabilities, according to the chosen product configuration,
is under the responsibility of the dealer or, if the device is supplied under prescription, of
the prescribing physician. In no way can KLAXON be held responsible for an erroneous
evaluation.
