HUSK-E usage instructions
road traffic licensing regulations (StVZO) must
be observed.
Avoid driving on unpaved or loose
surfaces (e.g. on loose gravel, in sand, mud,
snow, ice or through deep puddles of water).
When travelling on poorly maintained
paths (e.g. large gravel, potholes) there is an
increased risk of puncturing your tyres as well
as tipping.
You must not make telephone calls while
driving. You should also avoid driving near to
strong electrical interference fields. The driving
characteristics of the product can be influenced
by electromagnetic fields which can be
produced by mobile phones or other radiating
devices. The power supply to the product
should be switched off when operating such
devices.
Operating the product can affect other
devices, for example theft protection barriers in
department stores.
By performing regular checks, ensure that
the safety bolts of the adapter are always in
the correct position while driving (see usage
instructions "Adapter and adaptation").
When driving, never jerk the handlebar,
as this could possibly cause the wheelchair-
product combination to tip over sideways.
While driving, never grab onto the
wheelchair wheels, in the area of the product
wheel, in the area of the chain / sprockets /
chain wheels, or into other rotating parts; if you
do, you may cause injuries.
During long trips the brakes and the drive
of the product may heat up. Therefore, do not
touch the brakes or the drive during or
immediately after the trip.
If the situation allows it, the speed should
be reduced by carefully applying the service
brake. Abrupt braking can cause the upper
body to fall forwards which can thereby result
in injuries or loss of vehicle control.
If the weight load on the drive wheel
decreases (e.g. when driving on slopes) or
when driving on loose/slippery surfaces, the
braking action of the wheel may be
considerably reduced. The driving style and
speed should be adjusted so that the product
can be safely stopped at all times using the
brakes.
Towing or using a trailer is not permitted.
Make sure that cables and lines are not
kinked or tangled somewhere. This could
cause them to be damaged which could lead to
the brakes and gear shift not working correctly.
In this case, the product must no longer be
operated.
14 Safety instructions regarding
obstacles
Driving on steps and escalators with the
product is forbidden.
The maximum obstacle height which can
be negotiated is 10 cm. This value can,
however, be reduced due to the specifications
of the type of wheelchair or its settings.
Therefore, you should observe the values
given in the wheelchair's usage instructions or
the restrictions dependent on the settings.
When driving over or passing obstacles, it
is important that you avoid any product or body
parts catching on the obstacle as this may lead
to falls causing serious injuries to the user and
third parties as well as damage to the product.
Always drive over curbs or other
obstacles so that you cross them to the front or
at right angles and at the minimum required
speed. If you approach them at an angle or
pass over an obstacle with just one rear wheel,
there is an increased risk of tipping over to the
side.
