WARNING!
Risk of injury if the mobility device tips over
– Inclines and declines can only be travelled
up to the maximum safe slope (refer to 11
Technical Data, page 106 ).
– Always return the backrest of your seat or the
seat tilt to an upright position before ascending
slopes. We recommend that you position the
seat backrest and the seat tilt (if fitted) slightly
to the rear before descending slopes.
– Only ever drive downhill at a maximum of 2/3
of the top speed. Avoid abrupt braking or
accelerating on gradients.
– If at all possible, avoid driving on wet, slippery,
icy, or oily surfaces (such as snow, gravel, ice
etc.) where there is a risk of you losing control
over the vehicle, especially on a gradient.
This may include certain painted or otherwise
treated wood surfaces. If driving on such a
surface is inevitable, then always drive slowly
and with the utmost caution.
– Never attempt to overcome an obstacle when
on an uphill or downhill gradient.
– Never attempt to drive up or down a flight of
steps with your mobility device.
– When overcoming obstacles, always observe
the maximum obstacle height (refer to 11
Technical Data, page106and information about
overcoming obstacles in 6.6 Taking Obstacles,
page 81).
– Avoid shifting your center of gravity as well
as abrupt joystick movements and changes of
direction when the mobility device is in motion.

more than one person.
– Do not exceed the overall maximum permissible
load or the maximum load per axle (refer to 11

WARNING!
Risk of serious injury or damage
Improper positioning while leaning or bending
could cause the wheelchair to tip forward
resulting in serious injury or damage
– To assure stability and proper operation of your
mobility device, you must at all times maintain
proper balance. Your power wheelchair has
been designed to remain upright and stable
during normal daily activities as long as you DO
NOT move beyond the center of gravity.
– DO NOT lean forward out of the mobility device
any further than the length of the armrests.
– DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have
to move forward in the seat or pick them up
from the floor by reaching down between your
knees.
