Page 4: Notes And Safety Instructions
The following information is for your own safety. Please carefully read and note before first using mySKATE! • MySKATE has been approved for a maximum speed of 15 km/h. We strongly advise you not to exceed this speed limit. • On a downward slope, we recommend that you use a significantly lower speed to slow down safely in every circumstance. - Page 5 The safe handling of the wheelchair/mySKATE tandem requires some practice. Especially for beginners, slow and careful driving is imperative. At the beginning, avoid hilly and mountainous terrain and difficult roads until you are fully familiar with how mySKATE functions and operates.

Page 6: Driving Style
2. Driving Style Attaching mySKATE to your wheelchair turns your four-wheel wheelchair into a tricycle with all the corresponding advantages and disadvantages. Especially when driving in bends, the three-wheeled driving geometry makes a wheelchair significantly less stable! It is important to keep this in mind and to get used to operating the tandem carefully. -
Page 7: Intended Use
3. Intended use MySKATE is a mini-traction device for wheelchairs. Its purpose is to support its user on longer, primarily flat roads. With its low weight of just 8.9 kg (basic mobile device) and low packaging dimensions it is ideal for travelling, city tours, and for everyday use. Particularly in places where space is limited, such as in shopping centres/malls or in public and administrative buildings, it can be used easily, given its manoeuvrability. - Page 8 The wheel hub motor is in the drive wheel and is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. MySKATE has four speed levels and a throttled reverse gear. Within the individual speed levels you can smoothly manage speeds from 0 to 15 km/h with the help of a rotary throttle handle.

5. Attaching / mounting mySKATE to your wheelchair Once the adapter and coupling unit have been adjusted to the wheelchair, mySKATE can be fitted to any wheelchair in five easy steps. • Lock parking brake of the wheelchair • The mounting blocks/main mounts must be aligned in parallel, freely accessible, and free of dirt. -
Page 10: Composition Of The Wheelchair
7. Composition of the wheelchair MySKATE may be mounted and fitted to a wide range of different wheelchairs. The wheelchairs, however, must be in excellent technical condition. You can use foldable wheelchairs as well as wheelchairs with rigid frames. Wheelchairs with rigid frames generally tend to be better equipped to carry more weight, especially with wider seats. -

2. Assembly steps: 1) Measure the front frame diameter of the wheelchair in question with a Vernier calliper. 2) Choose the correct half shell to match the frame diameter of the wheelchair, starting from the frame clamp base diameter measuring 32 mm. Please note: To achieve optimal position/accessibility and shortest distance for the user, it is recommended that the... - Page 21 5) Now insert here a tube elbow for assessing the position or the need to use the positioning of the pin. 6)Provisionally mount the swivel unit loosely on the front part of the frame arch so that it can be rotated. 7) Frontally install the traction device for test purposes and now assess its position in terms of: •...
- Page 22 • Alter the angle of the insertion clamp For this purpose, if necessary, hold a frame clamp in each of the two bolt locations for testing (possibly request this from Rehability) Beware! Do not press in the hardened bolts until their position has been determined.
- Page 23 8) Now mount the 2nd clamp also on the other side of the frame using a spirit level at the same height. 9) Align both frame clamps with the help of an inserted tube elbow at right angles to the front frame. 10) Insert both tube elbows into the insertion clamp and swivel them downwards, so that they overlap.
- Page 24 12) Push the limiting rings onto the rear parts of the shortened pipe elbows. Insert these into the insertion clamp until it reaches the necessary depth. Opposite the front ends. Mount the swivel unit centrally to the front frame so that it fits loosely but is still adjustable and can be rotated.

- Page 27 Next, adhere the joint pieces to the tube elbows' insertion units and to the finished tube pieces for the slot. Use the mixing nozzle for proper mixing. Make sure that there is uniform adhesive application. Insert the bolts by rotating. The setting time of the mixed adhesive is <5 minutes.
