HUSK-E usage instructions
15 Safety instructions regarding
dangerous locations and
dangerous situations
The operator of the product determines the
route to be driven themselves, taking the
usage instructions, their driving knowledge,
and physical abilities into consideration.
The personal driving skills are particularly
important in the following dangerous locations
which are provided as examples; the product's
user must use their judgement before driving in
such locations:
quay walls, landing and berthing locations,
paths and locations close to water,
unsecured bridges and dykes.
narrow paths, slopes (e.g. ramps and
driveways), narrow paths on a slope,
mountainous routes.
narrow and/or steeply sloping paths along
main roads or near cliffs.
routes which are covered in leaves, snow
or ice.
ramps and lifting equipment on vehicles.
When driving in a circle or turning on hills
or downward slopes, there may be an
increased tendency to tip over to the side due
to the changes in the centre of gravity. Avoid
such driving manoeuvres. If these cannot be
avoided, perform these driving manoeuvres
with increased caution and only at a very slow
speed. If necessary, the driving manoeuvre
must not be performed or only with the help of
an assistant.
When crossing main roads, intersections
and level crossings, extreme caution is
needed. Crossing rails in the road or at level
crossings must never be undertaken while
driving parallel, otherwise the wheels could
become caught which would result in the
wheelchair and the product being unable to
manoeuvre.
Before driving on a ramp, ensure that it is
wide enough so that you do not risk one of the
product or wheelchair wheels slipping off the
ramp. During the lifting or lowering operation of
the ramp or the lifting equipment, the drive
system must be switched off and the service
brake of the product must be actuated.
The grip of the tyres on the ground is
reduced in the wet. There is an increased risk
of slipping. Adjust your driving, braking and
steering behaviour accordingly.
16 Ending the driving operation
Switch off the drive (chapter 20.7.1). To make
getting out of the wheelchair more simple, the
product can be disconnected from the
wheelchair (see usage instructions "Adapter
and adaptation").
The product may only be disconnected with the
drive turned off to prevent any unintended
drive signals.
17 Safety instructions – after
driving/use
Always turn off the drive system
immediately when it is not in use to prevent
accidental triggering of a drive signal by
touching the crank handle and to prevent the
rechargeable batteries being discharged.
Always observe the usage instructions
and recommendations in the drive
manufacturer's usage instructions concerning
charging the rechargeable batteries.
18 Adapter and adaptation
Where necessary and ordered, a suitable
adapter for your wheelchair is included with the
delivery.
Please read the usage instructions and
assembly usage instructions "Adapter and
adaptation" before using the product.
The product may only be adapted and
uncoupled when the drive system is switched
off and on firm and even ground.
