Active Medical Sovereign Instructions For Use Manual page 5

• Observe the road traffic regulations when on the road.
• The passive lighting (reflectors) of your wheelchair must always be
visible to other road users.
• The locking brake must not be used for braking when the wheelchair
is moving.
• When braking at fast speeds or on long downward slopes when
using the push rims, fingers and hand surfaces become hot. Caution!
Danger of burning!
• We recommend that leather gloves are used for use outdoors. These
increase grip and protect fingers and hands from dirt and injury at the
same time.
• Please note that padded parts can become hot in direct sunlight and
lead to skin injury on contact. Therefore, cover these parts or protect
the wheelchair from direct sunlight.
• When transferring between wheelchair and bed, always ensure that:
- both locking brakes are applied
- the side part on the side for getting in/out is swung backwards.
- the foot plates (for getting in/out) are folded upwards, swing
inwards/outwards or are removed.
