F5 Corpus
WARNING!
Passengers
The wheelchair is not intended to carry passengers, regardless
of the age of the passenger. The maximum user weight for your
seating system is stated in the technical specifications section of
this User's Manual. The stated user weight includes the user and
any personal effects. The maximum limit may not be exceeded.
The wheelchair's maneuverability and stability can be
degraded as a result.
WARNING!
Driving with seat lift, seat tilt, backrest
recline
Make absolutely sure that nothing gets stuck between the
chassis and the seat when the seat lift and/or seat tilt is
operated. Operating the seat lift, seat tilt and/or backrest
recline changes the center of gravity and increases the risk of
tipping over. Always drive in low speed and only use these seat
functions on level ground – not on hills, ramps, slopes or other
inclines. Using these seat functions while driving on inclines
may lead to personal injury and property damage, including
damage to the wheelchair.
WARNING!
Center of balance
The likelihood of the wheelchair's tipping and the point at
which the wheelchair will tip forward, back or to the side
depends on its center of balance. Note that the following
factors affect the wheelchair's center of balance:
• Elevation of the seat.
• Height and angle of the seat.
• Body position or weight distribution.
• Driving on an incline such as a ramp or a hill.
• The use of a backpack or other accessories, depending on
the amount of weight added.
If the wheelchair begins to move in an unexpected manner,
release the joystick immediately to stop the wheelchair. Except
in an emergency, do NOT use the On/Off button to stop the
wheelchair, as this will cause the wheelchair to stop abruptly
which may cause personal injury.
WARNING!
Fixed seat post
Only authorized service providers may adjust seat height.
