Safety information when ascending obstacles

CAUTION: Danger of Tipping Over!
• Never approach obstacles at an angle!
• Put your backrest into an upright position before climbing an obstacle!
CAUTION: The wheelchair can be damaged if an obstacle is approached at excessive
speed.
• Always approach obstacles at low speed! As soon as the front wheels come into contact with
the obstacle, stop for a short period before driving over the obstacle! Wheelchairs fitted with
centre drive have a special mechanism (Walking Beam) for overcoming obstacles.
Approaching at speed can actually lead to mechanical damage.
