General safety notes and driving restrictions

The engineering and construction of this wheelchair has been designed to provide maximum safety. International safety standards
currently in force have either been fulfilled or exceeded in parts. Nevertheless, users may put themselves at risk by improperly
using their wheelchairs. For your own safety, the following rules must be strictly observed.
Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments increase the risk of accident. As a wheelchair user, you are also part of the
daily traffic on streets and pavements, just like anyone else. We would like to remind you that you are therefore also subject to
any and all traffic laws.
Be careful during your first ride in this wheelchair. Get to know your wheelchair.
Before each use, the following should be checked:
• Quick-release axles on the rear wheels
• Velcro on seats and backrests
• Tyres, tyre pressure and wheel locks.
Before changing any of the adjustments of this wheelchair, it is important to read the corresponding section of the user's
manual.
It is possible that potholes or uneven ground could cause this wheelchair to tip over, especially when riding uphill or downhill.
When riding over a step or up an incline frontally, the body should be leaning forward.
Danger!
NEVER exceed the maximum load of 125 kg for driver plus any items carried on the wheelchair. If you exceed the maximum load,
this can lead to damage to the chair, or you may fall or tip over, lose control and may lead to serious injury of the user and other
people.
Danger!
When it is dark, please wear light clothing or clothing with reflectors, so that you can be seen more easily. Make sure that the
reflectors on the side and back of the wheelchair are clearly visible. We would also recommend that you fit an active light.
Danger!
To avoid falls and dangerous situations, you should first practice using your new wheelchair on level ground with good visibility.
Danger!
When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the footboards. These should be flipped up beforehand and swung to the outside
as far as possible. Always position yourself as close as possible to the place where you wish to sit.
Danger!
Only use your wheelchair properly. For example, avoid travelling against an obstacle without braking (step, kerb edge) or dropping
down gaps.
Danger!
The wheel locks are not intended to brake your wheelchair. They are only there to ensure that your wheelchair does not begin
rolling unintentionally. When you stop on uneven ground, you should always use the wheel locks to prevent such rolling. Always
apply both wheel locks; otherwise, your wheelchair could tip over.
Danger!
Explore the effects of changing the centre of gravity on the behaviour of the wheelchair, for example on inclines, slopes, all gradients
or when overcoming obstacles. Do this with the secure aid of a helper.
Danger!
With extreme settings (e.g. rear wheels in the most forward position) and less than perfect posture, the wheelchair may tip over
even on a level surface.
Danger!
Lean your upper body further forward when going up slopes and steps.
Danger!
Lean your upper body further back when going down slopes and steps. Never try to climb and descend a slope diagonally.
Danger!
Avoid using an escalator which may lead to serious injury in the event of a fall.
