Falling, tipping over due to incorrect handling
► Turn the control unit off while getting in and out, in order to avoid accidental driving.
► Always place the seat in a horizontal position.
► Note that the armrests are not capable of bearing full body weight, and therefore must not be used for getting
into or out of the wheelchair.
► Always put on a lap belt when driving.

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.
