Usage instructions SPEEDY F4 & F2
When travelling, always carry a repair kit
and tyre pump for repairs in event of punc-
tured/flat tyre. An alternative to this is a emer-
gency puncture repair spray that fills your tyre
with a foam that hardens in the tyre.
13 Safety instructions – while driv-
ing/using
Note that some parts of your product can
become extremely hot at high ambient temper-
atures (e.g. sauna). This means that above
50°C, the product may be damaged and above
40°C there is already the risk of burns for the
user, which should not be underestimated,
particularly for people with impaired sensitivity.
For this reason, the product should not be
exposed to such extreme temperatures.
PRO ACTIV cannot accept any liability or pro-
vide any warranty for personal injury and mate-
rial damage caused by such stresses. There
are also certain risks that exist at extremely
low temperatures, which must be minimised by
wearing appropriately insulating clothes, for
example.
You may only drive on slopes where the
product can be safely controlled with the
handrims. Never drive the product on slopes of
more than 10 %.
When driving in curves, reduce your
speed to a minimum and if possible, lean your
upper body towards the curve.
Do not ride parallel to slopes and inclina-
tions due to the risk of tipping.
Do not stop on a steep slope, otherwise
there is a risk of losing control of the product. If
possible, do not turn on a slope or change your
direction.
Note that the knee lever brake and the
integrated brake are parking brakes that may
only be applied when the product is at a stand-
still. These are not service brakes that are
suitable for reducing speed.
Do not attach objects (carrier bags, etc.)
to the product.
When using the product in areas that are
approved for pedestrians, keep to the maxi-
mum permitted speed (walking speed 6 km/h)
and leave a sufficient lateral distance (at least
the width of a wheelchair) to obstacles and
other road users.
Avoid driving on unpaved or loose sur-
faces (e.g. on loose gravel, in sand, mud,
snow, ice or through deep puddles of water).
When travelling on poorly maintained
paths (e.g. coarse gravel, potholes), there is an
increased risk of puncturing your tyres as well
as tipping.
When travelling on poorly maintained
paths with potholes and loose stones, drive
carefully to prevent the caster wheels from
blocking.
The product can affect other devices, for
example theft protection barriers in department
stores.
The product is only intended for transport-
ing one person with limited mobility and must
not be used for any other purpose, e.g. for
transporting goods.
When reversing, the anti-tipping supports
should always be used as there is an in-
creased risk of tipping over. If this is not possi-
ble, then ask other people to help ensure that
there is no risk of tipping over.
The product may only be propelled using
the handrims. If you propel the chair with the
tyres (thumbs or fingers on the tread of the
tyre), there is the risk of crushing or otherwise
injuring fingers and thumbs.
Do not reach into the area of the spokes
or other tight spaces in the area of the wheels.
There is an increased risk of being injured
here, particularly while in motion. If you have
limited coordination of your limbs, then you
