Usage instructions SPEEDY F4 & F2
When following a curve or turning on hills
or downward slopes, there may be an in-
creased 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.
Use particular caution when approaching
stairs, edges, drops or other hazard areas.
Extreme caution is needed when crossing
main roads, intersections and level crossings.
Rails in the road or level crossings must never
be crossed when travelling parallel to them, as
otherwise the wheels could become caught
which would result in the product being unable
to manoeuvre.
Extreme caution is needed when driving
on ramps and lifting equipment on vehicles.
Ensure in advance that the ramp is wide
enough so that you do not risk the product
wheels slipping off the ramp. When lifting or
lowering a ramp or lifting equipment, the park-
ing brake of the product should be applied.
Always keep the product in the middle of the
ramp.
The grip of the tyres on the ground is
reduced under wet conditions. There is an
increased risk of slipping. Adjust your driving,
braking and steering behaviour accordingly.
16 Safety instructions – after driv-
ing/use
Apply the parking brake before getting out
of the product.
When getting out of the wheelchair, do
not tread on the footrest due to the risk of tip-
ping over.
17 Individual setting options
The following instructions are intended
for and may only be carried out by a rehabilita-
tion specialist dealer or PRO ACTIV
The seat position can only be adjusted if the
product has been fitted with angle-adjustable
caster wheel bearing blocks (cannot be ret-
rofitted; only available for the SPEEDY F4 and
SPEEDY F2 with the classic frame geometry).
In this case, the seat tilt and/or the seat
height at the front can be adjusted. This set-
ting is carried out via the position of the caster
wheels in the caster wheel fork and the caster
fork size. Otherwise, there are not further ad-
justment possibilities available.

17.1 Adjusting the seat height at the
front by positioning the caster
wheels in the caster fork
Adjusting the front seat height or angle of seat
can be carried out via the positioning of the
caster wheel in the caster fork. Generally, the
caster forks have three possible positions that
can be used to change the front seat height in
steps of 15 mm.
If the seat inclination or the front seat
height are to be increased, the caster
wheel is mounted in a lower position in the
caster fork.
If the seat inclination or the front seat
height are to be reduced, the caster wheel
