Check tyre pressures at regular intervals.
Ensure that you comply with the
manufacturer's specifications which can be
found on the tyres. Tyre pressure which is too
low has a negative effect on the handling.
Before each trip, check the safe locking of
the wheels and adaptation of the drive unit.
Secure the safety cord to the lever of the
eccentric pin. The use without the safety cord
attached is not permitted (see chapter 23).
Before starting your trip check that the
product's brake functions. If all existing brakes
are not fully functional, no trips may be taken.
Check the stable condition of the seat and
back upholstery at regular intervals and in case
of doubt, have your dealer assess its condition.
Always ensure that your feet cannot slip
out off the leg rest and make contact with the
drive wheel when using the product, if
necessary by using a special fixation device
(e.g., using the hook-and-loop straps included
in the scope of supply).
If present, check the function of the front
and rear lights as well as the effectiveness of
the side and rear reflectors before every trip.
Lights and reflectors must be clearly visible
during the journey and must not be covered by
other objects. Especially trips that take place in
the dark or in the twilight, the lighting must be
functional and visible. For longer trips in the
dark, we recommend that you also take along
extra batteries.
To minimise the risk of suffering serious
head injuries in the event of a fall, a helmet
should always be worn when driving with the
product.
When travelling, always carry a repair kit
and tyre pump for repairs in event of
punctured / flat tyre. A alternative to this is a
pump spray that fills your tyre with a foam that
hardens in the tyre.

13 Safety instructions – while
driving / using
Always hold onto the crank handles with
both hands while driving. If the driving situation
requires you to take one hand off the crank
handles, this is only permitted when the speed
has been reduced to the minimum possible
beforehand.
Increase the speed slowly up to the
desired speed.
Use particular caution when approaching
stairs, edges, drops or other hazard areas.
When waiting at potential hazard areas
(e.g. while waiting at a pedestrian crossing, on
hills or slopes or at ramps of any type), always
hold down the service brakes.
When driving round a bend, reduce your
speed to a minimum.
Do not ride parallel to slopes due to the
risk of tipping.
You may only drive on slopes where the
product can be safely controlled by steering
and braking of the product.
Do not attach objects (carrier bags, etc.)
to the product. These could prevent safe
operation of the product while driving.
When driving on areas which are used for
pedestrians, observe the maximum permitted
speed (walking speed 6 km/h) and keep a
sufficient distance (at least the width of the
product) from the kerbs or other obstacles and
other road users.
When driving on public roads and paths,
the provisions of the road traffic regulations
(German StVO) must be observed.
Avoid driving on unpaved or loose
surfaces (e.g. on loose gravel, in sand, mud,
snow, ice or through deep puddles of water).
