5.1 Driving
The maximum load capacity that is stated in the
technical data only states that the system is designed
for this mass in total. However, this does not mean
that one can sit a person with this body weight in
the mobility device without restrictions. Attention
must be paid to the body proportions, such as
height, weight distribution, abdominal belt, leg
and calf strap and seat depth. These factors have
a strong influence on driving features such as tilt
stability and traction. The permissible axle loads in
particular must be adhered to (refer to 10 Technical
Data, page 63). It may possibly be necessary to carry
out adaptations to the seat system.
5.2 Before Driving for First Time
Before you take your first trip, you should familiarise yourself
well with the operation of the mobility device and with all
operating elements. Take your time to test all functions
and driving modes.
If installed, make sure to properly adjust and use the
posture belt each time you use the mobility device.
Sitting comfortably = Driving safely
Before each trip, make sure that:
•
You are within easy reach of all operating controls.
•
The battery charge is sufficient for the distance you
intend to travel.

•
The posture belt (if installed) is in perfect order.
•
The rear mirror (if installed) is adjusted so you can look
behind at all times without having to bend forward or
shift your seating position.
5.3 Parking and Stationary
When parking your mobility device or if your mobility device
is stationary for a prolonged period:
1. Switch the mobility device's power system off (ON-/OFF
key).
5.3.1 Cleaning Battery Terminals
WARNING!
– Most batteries are not sold with instructions.
However, warnings are frequently noted on the
cell caps. Read them carefully.
– DO NOT allow the liquid in the battery to
come in contact with skin, clothes or other
possessions. It is a form of acid and harmful or
damaging burns may result. Should the liquid
touch your skin, wash the area IMMEDIATELY
and thoroughly with cool water. In serious
cases or if eye contact is made, seek medical
attention IMMEDIATELY.
1. Examine battery terminals for corrosion.
2. Verify the plastic caps are in place over battery cell
holes.
