Handling and driving

The wheelchair is designed for use both indoors and outdoors.
When driving indoors, take care in e.g. narrow passages, when
passing through doors and entrances and when using lifts, ramps, etc.
Also bear in mind the crush hazard when using the powered seat lift
and seat angle functions, especially if the wheelchair has been driven
under a table, bench, etc. When driving outdoors, remember to
drive very slowly down steep slopes and to take great care when
driving on uneven surfaces, up slopes, on side slopes and over
obstacles. Always observe a good safety distance when driving near
edges and drops.
We recommend users make repeated test drives in environments
where they feel safe to familiarise themselves with how the
wheelchair and its accessories behave in different situations before
starting to use the wheelchair on public roads and in other public
spaces.
