General Safety Notes And Driving Limits - Sunrise Medical Quickie Attitude Directions For Use Manual

1.0 General safety notes and driving limits

The technology and construction of this add-on bike have been
designed to provide maximum safety. International safety
standards currently in force have either been fulfilled or
exceeded in parts.
Nevertheless, users may put themselves at risk by improperly
using their add-on bikes. For your own safety, the following
rules must be strictly observed.
Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments increase
the risk of accident. As an add-on bike user, you are also part
of the daily traffic on streets and pavements, just like anyone
else. We would like to remind you that you are therefore also
subject to any and all traffic laws. Be careful during your first
ride in this add-on bike. Get to know your add-on bike.
WARNING!
• NEVER exceed the maximum load of 100 kg for driver
excluding any items carried on the add-on bike.
• If the max user weight of the attached wheelchair is less
than 100 kg, this lower limit will be valid for the complete
system.
• Exceeding the maximum load can lead to damage to the
add-on bike, loss of control, or serious injury to the user and
other people.
• Always supervise children using the Attitude junior.
Familiarize them with all functions and options on the bike,
in particular with the function of the driving- and parking-
brake on the bike. It´s the responsibility of the supervising
person to make sure the docking is safely locked before the
ride and maintenance is being conducted as specified in the
maintenance plan.
• Exercise caution when using the add-on bike. For example,
avoid negotiating obstacles such as, steps, curbs, path
edges or dropping down gaps without slowing down or
braking first.
• Your add-on bike has not been designed for transportation
in a vehicle. DO NOT sit on the add-on bike during any
transportation in a vehicle; always use a properly secured
vehicle seat!!
• This add-on bike should be used exclusively to convey one
person at a time. Any other use does not comply with the
intended purpose.
• Use of the add-on bike is only recommended for those who
have the right physical and psychological constitution to be
able to cope with public traffic.
• Please note that you are subject to any and all traffic laws
when riding in public traffic.
• As a beginner, you should ride particularly carefully at first.
• Familiarise yourself with the braking distances from various
speeds.
• Familiarise yourself with the general traffic laws!
• In order to achieve a stable ride when travelling straight
ahead, wherever possible, you should avoid hasty steering
movements when travelling at speed or going round
corners.
• A three-wheeled device is always less stable than a four-
wheeled device.
• When you are riding, braking or manoeuvring, always hold
the handles firmly with both hands. Failure to do so could
increase the risk of an accident through steering error.
• The add-on bike is a mechanical propelled / powered drive
unit. The speed must be adjusted to suit the technical
capabilities of the bike, terrain and operator. The max speed
is 25 km/h. Never exceed this max speed.
• At night and dawn/dusk, always use the lights.
• When you are travelling long distances, we recommend that
you take a spare battery with you.
• Only ride on asphalt paths, or firm, smooth surfaces.
• Use caution when riding over curbs, steps, potholes, etc. as
there is an increased risk of tipping over.
• Adjust your method of driving to your capabilities.
6
• Ride slowly and carefully, particularly when riding round
corners.
• Do not put your hands in the chain area.
• Do not touch the motor, because it can get very hot.
• Your bike should be serviced by your dealer at regular
intervals. (min. every year)
• As with all moving parts, there is a risk that fingers could
become trapped. Please always handle carefully.
• If the add-on bike is subject to direct sunlight / low
temperatures for long periods, parts of your add-on bike
could become very hot (>41°C) or very cold (<0°).
• Always make sure that the quick tensioner on the drive
wheel is set properly.
• The add-on bike should not be used in storm conditions,
heavy rain/snow or on slippery or damaged surfaces.

approved by Sunrise Medical.
