1.4 Indications

The use of this power wheelchair is recommended for the
following indications:
• The inability or a greatly restricted ability to walk within
the scope of the basic requirement to be able to move
within one's own four walls.
• The need to leave the dwelling place in order to get
some fresh air during a short walk or to reach those
places generally to be found at close distance to the
dwelling and where everyday business is carried out.
Provision of power wheelchairs for interior and exterior
areas is advisable if the use of hand-operated wheelchairs is
no longer possible on account of the disability, yet proper
operation of an electromotive drive unit is still practicable.
Contraindications
There are no contraindications known.

1.5 Type classification

The mobility device with a maximum speed of 3 km/h has
been classified according to EN 12184 as a class A mobility
product (for indoor areas only). This means it is a compact,
maneuverable vehicle mainly for internal use and not
necessarily capable of negotiating outdoor obstacles.
The Class A product can be identified by a 3 km/h label
on the remote.
1577074-F
The mobility device with a maximum speed higher than 3
km/h has been classified according to EN 12184 as a class
B mobility product (for indoor and outdoor areas). It is
therefore compact and agile enough for indoor areas, but
also able to overcome many obstacles in outdoor areas.

and international standards as to its safety. It satisfies
the requirements according to RoHS 2011/65/EU, REACH

ISO 7176–14. It was also tested successfully according to
EN 60529 IPX4 as to its resistance to spray water, and is
therefore well suited for weather conditions such as typical
European weather conditions. When equipped with an
appropriate lighting system, the vehicle is suitable for use
on public roads.
