When reversing, the anti-tippers should
always be used as there is an increased risk of
tipping over. If this is not possible, then ask
other people to help ensure that there is no risk
of tipping over.
The product may only be propelled using
the handrims. If you drive propelling the chair
with the tyres (thumbs or fingers on the tread
of the tyre), there is the risk of crushing or oth-
erwise injuring fingers and thumbs.
Do not reach into the area of the spokes or
other tight spaces in the vicinity of the wheels.
There is an increased risk of being injured
here, particularly while in motion. If you have
limited coordination of your limbs, then you
should protect the spokes with a spoke shield
for example to minimise the risks.
Smoking when riding is forbidden as the
seat and back system may be damaged from
ash which falls down.
14 Safety instructions regarding
obstacles
Obstacles like curbs, for example, should
always be negotiated driving forwards and
always using the minimum speed required.
The maximum obstacle height that can be
negotiated is 10 cm.
When driving over or passing obstacles, it
is important that you avoid any product or body
parts catching on the obstacle as this may lead
to falling causing serious injuries to the user
and third parties as well as damage to the
product.
Always drive over curbs or other obstacles
so that you cross them to the front or at right
angles. If you approach them at an angle, or
only have one rear wheel on the obstacle,
there is an increased risk of tipping over to the
side which can result in serious injuries to the
user and third-parties as well as damage to the
product.

right angles to the obstacle and could block.
This could damage the caster wheel or the
caster fork and cause injury. If actively tipping
it is not possible, then the obstacle should not
be approached or you need to request assis-
tance from an accompanying person. Particu-
lar attention needs to be paid to this when
using an auxiliary drive.
