Check the stable condition of the seat and
back upholstery at regular intervals and in case
of doubt, have your rehabilitation specialist
dealer assess its condition.
Always ensure that your feet cannot slip
off the footrest when using the product, if
necessary by using a special securing device.
Before using the product, ensure that the
anti-tipping supports are in the operating
position and in good working order. In this
case, it must not be possible to swivel the anti-
tipping supports to the side when in operating
position without having to unlock them first.
The lower edge of the anti-tipping support
wheels may not be any more than 5 cm from
the ground. If a larger gap is required or
necessary, then you need to work with your
therapists and doctors to practice and learn to
handle the increased risk of tipping.
Due to environmental effects, it is possible
that the properties and therefore secure
attachment of the push handle covers may
change detrimentally. For this reason, it is
important to check the handles are tightly fitted
and fixed in position prior to use. If this should
no longer be the case, then the push handles
may not be used until they have been fixed
Every time before you use the product,
make sure that the anti-tipping supports and
push handles are firmly attached and the
quick-release axles on the caster and drive
wheels are also securely locked in place.
Depending on the optional extras, the
product may have folding/closing mechanisms
which pose a risk of crushing injuries (e.g.
trapping your fingers). For this reason, please
allow your rehabilitation specialist dealer to
explain how to work these mechanisms and
then have a go yourself under instruction.
If required, you can have a suitable chest
or waist belt fitted to your product. Please
make sure that the belt is set up so that it does
not have any negative impact on breathing,
does not strangle you should you fall or tip out

14 Safety instructions – while
driving/using
Please note that some parts of your
product can become extremely hot in at hot
ambient temperatures (e.g. a sauna). This
means that above 50°C, the product may be
damaged and above 40°C there is already the
risk of burns for the user, which should not be
underestimated, particularly for people with
impaired sensitivity. For this reason, the
product should not be exposed to such
extreme temperatures. PRO ACTIV cannot
accept any liability or provide any warranty for
personal injury and material damage caused
by such stresses. There are also certain risks
that exist at extremely low temperatures, which
.
must be minimised by wearing appropriately
insulating clothes for example.
You may only drive on slopes where the
product can be safely controlled with the
handrims. Never drive the product on slopes of
more than 10 %.
When driving around a bend, reduce your
speed to a minimum.
Do not ride parallel to slopes and
inclinations due to the risk of tipping.
Driving on a slope shifts the centre of
gravity of the product. If possible, lean your
upper body slightly forwards to work against
the shift in the centre of gravity.
