turer are not liable in cases of damage caused by pro-
gramming which was not performed correctly and/or

WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to a lack of brake func-
tionality when the wheel lock is disengaged. Note the
lack of brake functionality when the wheel lock is disen-
gaged, especially when operating the power wheelchair
on slopes.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to tipping during operation. The power
wheelchair has been approved for ascending or descend-
ing inclines of up to 12 %. Navigating inclines above this
value is not permitted.
The critical obstacle height of the power wheelchair is
5 cm. Crossing obstacles which exceed 5 cm in height is
not permitted.
Navigating stairs is not permitted.
Driving backwards should be limited to manoeuvring or
short distances on level ground.

WARNING
Risk of accidents due to tipping during operation.
Reduce the driving speed when driving downhill (e.g. se-
lect speed level 1).
Obstacles must not be crossed while ascending or de-
scending inclines. Avoid getting into or out of the power
wheelchair on slopes.
Driving on inclines and over obstacles is only permissible
while the back is not tilted.
Driving over obstacles such as steps or curbs is only al-
lowed at reduced speed (max. 3 km/h). Always approach
obstacles at a right angle and cross over them without
stopping.
WARNING
Risk of tipping when driving on unsuitable terrain. Driv-
ing on very smooth areas (e. g. icy surfaces) or extremely
rough terrain (e. g. gravel or rubble) is not permitted.
WARNING
Risk of tipping when using lifting platforms. When using
lifting platforms, elevators, buses or trains, the power
wheelchair controls must be switched off and the wheel
locks must be engaged.
