WARNING!
Risk of injury if you collide with an obstacle
when driving through narrow passages such as
doorways and entrances
– Drive through narrow passages in the lowest
driving mode and with due caution.
WARNING!
If your mobility device has been fitted with
elevating legrests, there is a risk of personal
injury and damage to the mobility device if you
drive the mobility device with the legrests raised
– To avoid unwanted displacement of the mobility
device center of gravity to the front (especially
when travelling downhill) and in order to
avoid damage to the mobility device, elevating
legrests must always be lowered during normal
travelling.

WARNING!
Risk of tipping
Antitippers (stabilizers) are only effective on firm
ground. They sink in on soft ground such as
grass, snow or mud if the mobility device rests
itself on them. They lose their effect and the
mobility device can tip over.
– Only drive with extreme care on soft ground,
especially during uphill and downhill journeys.
In the process pay increased attention to the
tip stability of the mobility device.
Information on models with electric seat angle
adjuster
– If your wheelchair is fitted with an electric
seat angle adjuster, it is also fitted with a
microswitch which automatically reduces the
speed as soon as the seat angle exceeds around
15°. To increase speed again, readjust the seat
angle to bring it into an almost vertical position.
