CAUTION
Incorrect handling when getting in
Crushing, pinching, impacts due to incorrect handling
► Do not reach into the danger area with your fingers when folding the legrest or footplates up or down.
► Never step on the footplates when getting in and out.
► Note projecting edges.
The modular design of the power wheelchair and the ease with which you can remove the side panels make it easy
to get into and out of the wheelchair from the side or from the front.
Getting into and out of the wheelchair can be done by the user individually in a way that suits him or her best.

CAUTION
Risk of uncontrolled driving behaviour
Falling, tipping, collision with persons or nearby objects due to interference from electromagnetic fields
► Switch all mobile devices off while driving.
► Turn the control unit off when it is not needed.
The power wheelchair is controlled by an enAble50 control device.
Because the control unit is programmable, it can be adapted to the personal requirements of the user; e.g. the
speed, acceleration and deceleration values can all be adapted.
8.6.1 Control panel
The power wheelchair is operated using the control panel.
