INFORMATION
During use of the power wheelchair, electrical discharges
(high voltage with low current; discharge via the user) may
occur which are caused by factors such as friction.
However, these do not represent a health hazard.
Electrostatic discharge may also occur if the power wheel
chair is equipped with puncture-proof tires. Retrofitting the
wheelchair with pneumatic tires can correct this problem.
6.5.2 Driving notes
General information:
•
Beginners should always drive slowly.
•
Always take curves slowly.
•
Uncontrolled driving behaviour may occur on uneven
ground. Therefore the speed must always be adjusted to
the ground conditions.
•
Driving backwards should be limited to manoeuvring or
short distances on level ground.

Obstacles (steps, curbs):
The critical obstacle height is 60 mm (with curb climb
•
ing assist, 100 mm). Obstacles higher than 60 mm must
not
INFORMATION: This information applies to the
wheel combination 14"/9" (Standard). Note deviat
ing values for other wheel combinations (see sec
tion "Technical Data").
•
Always approach obstacles directly from the front (never
at an angle with only one caster wheel).
•
Always reduce speed to cross over obstacles (e.g.,
select speed level 1).
•
Avoid jumping down from steps.
•
Do not lean out of the wheelchair while crossing
obstacles
Inclines and downgrades:
•
Ascending or descending slopes up to max. 7° (12%) is
permitted. Driving on steeper inclines or downgrades is
not permitted. Otherwise safe braking is not ensured.
•
In order to navigate downgrades safely, the speed must
be reduced according to the slope (e.g., select speed
level 1).
•
Never drive downhill backwards.
