WARNING
Operation - turning/cornering
The risk of the wheelchair tipping over increases at high turning speed, in tight
curves, on uneven surfaces, with fast changes of direction and if you drive from
a place with low friction (for example a lawn) to a place with high friction (for
example a gravel road).
To avoid tipping over, with the risk of personal injury or damage to property that
entails, you should always drive slowly when turning/cornering and changing
direction.
Operation - releasing the wheelchair's magnetic brakes
To prevent the wheelchair from rolling off, ensure that it is on a dry, level sur-
face before releasing the brakes.
Always ensure that someone is present to help you if the brakes need to be
released when you are in the wheelchair.
Never release the brakes if the wheelchair is on a slope. This could result in
the wheelchair rolling off, which could result in personal injury or damage to
property, including damage to the wheelchair.
