6.1 Driving

The maximum load capacity that is stated in the
technical data only states that the system is designed
for this mass in total. However, this does not mean
that one can sit a person with this body weight in
the mobility device without restrictions. Attention
must be paid to the body proportions, such as
height, weight distribution, abdominal belt, leg
and calf strap and seat depth. These factors have
a strong influence on driving features such as tilt
stability and traction. The permissible axle loads in
particular must be adhered to (refer to 11 Technical
Data, page114 ). It may possibly be necessary to carry
out adaptations to the seat system.

6.2 Before driving for the first time

Before you take your first trip, you should familiarize yourself
well with the operation of the mobility device and with all
operating elements. Take your time to test all functions
and driving modes.
If installed, make sure to properly adjust and use the
posture belt each time you use the mobility device.
Sitting comfortably = Driving safely
Before each trip, make sure that:
• You are within easy reach of all operating controls.
• The battery charge is sufficient for the distance you
intend to travel.
