8.13.1 Safety instructions

WARNING
Driving with mechanical seat functions
Risk of falling or tipping over due to operator error
► Drive in road traffic and on inclines and downgrades only with a vertical backrest. Always use a belt system.
► Drive with the back angle adjustment activated only for short distances at home. Always use the speed level 1
for this. Note that the field of vision is limited when driving. Always use a belt system.
WARNING
Lack of maintenance
Severe user injuries, damage to the product due to maintenance errors
► Check the adjustment functions for visible signs of damage at least 1 x per month and ensure all screw con­
nections are tight.
WARNING
Exposed pinch points
Pinching, crushing of limbs (e.g. fingers) due to lack of caution in danger areas, damage to the product
► Note that when seat functions are used, inherent pinch and shear points are located between the seat frame
and the power wheelchair frame.
► Ensure that no body parts, such as hands or feet, are in the danger area while the seat functions are used.
► Ensure that no interfering objects, such as clothing or other obstacles, are in the danger area while the seat
functions are used.

8.13.2 Mechanical seat tilt

The mechanical seat tilt function with a gas compression spring allows the seat to be tilted, for example to relieve
pressure. The seat can be tilted back continuously up to an angle of 20°.
This seat tilt adjustment is operated with a release lever at the push handles.

8.13.3 Mechanically elevating footrests

INFORMATION
► Please also observe the safety instructions in the section "Manual seat functions": see Page 43.
The mechanically elevating footrests let the user change the angle independently to prevent a constant pressure
load or to provide anti-shock support.
