► Only negotiate stairs and obstacles with the help of additional attendants.
► Use available equipment (e.g. ramps or lifts).

► Never use escalators with a user in the product.
WARNING
Driving on slopes, over obstacles
Falling, tipping over due to user error
► Only cross obstacles or negotiate ascents or descents that are within the permitted maximums. For more
information, see the section "Technical data" (see Page 43).
► Do not cross over any obstacles while ascending or descending inclines.
► Before negotiating slopes or crossing obstacles, the seat tilt must be lowered (horizontal neutral position of
the seat). It is advisable to slightly tilt the seat to the rear when driving downhill.
► Only negotiate slopes where the holding forces remain manageable.
► Approach obstacles at right angles and drive over them at one go.
► When tipping on the rear wheels / drive wheels, always secure the user towards the rear.
► Avoid getting into or out of the product on inclines and slopes.
► Do not drive on stairs.
WARNING
Improper lifting by attendants
Tipping over, falling of the user due to lifting by removable components
► Only lift the product by firmly mounted components (e.g. main frame, push handles).
► Be sure that the clamping levers of the height-adjustable push handles are firmly tightened.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the anti-tipper by the attendant
Tipping over, falling of the user due to improper operation of a safety device
► Only deactivate the anti-tipper before negotiating high curbs or steps so that it cannot strike the obstacle,
since this could damage it. Activate the anti-tipper again afterwards.
► The anti-tipper has to engage audibly prior to use. Verify a firm fit.
► If you believe the anti-tipper needs to be adjusted, please contact the qualified personnel that adapted the
product.
