2.7 Safety Information on Wheelchairs with a
Lifter
WARNING!
Risk of injury by moving parts
– Never let objects get caught in the space
underneath a raised lifter.
– Make sure that neither you nor anyone else is
injured by placing hands, feet or other body
extremities under the raised seat.
– Should you not be able to view under the seat,
for example, due to limited manoeuvrability,
turn the wheelchair once on its own axle before
you lower the seat. This will allow you to make
sure that nobody is located in the danger zone.

CAUTION!
Risk of malfunction of the lifter module
– Inspect the lifter module at regular intervals
to make sure there are no foreign objects or
visible damage, and to make sure the electric
plugs are firmly inserted into their sockets.
CAUTION!
Damage to wheelchair caused by one-sided
loading on lifter pillar
– One-sided loading occurs if the seat is raised
and/or tilted. Always return your seat backrest
to the upright position and the seat tilting to
the horizontal position before ascending slopes.
Never subject the lifter pillar to continuous
single-sided loading. The raising and tilting
function of the seat only provides additional
rest positions.
