• Pay strict attention to the safety information!
Danger of injury if the wheelchair is driven when ability to operate a vehicle is impaired by

• Never drive the wheelchair under the influence of medication or alcohol! If necessary, the
wheelchair must be operated by an attendant, who is physically and mentally able!
Danger of damage or injury if wheelchair is accidentally set into motion!
• Switch the wheelchair off before you get in, get out or handle unwieldy objects!
• When the drive is disengaged, the brake inside the drive is deactivated. For this reason,
