Safety Instructions - Acekare ENJO User Manual

5. Safety instructions for dealing with hazardous situations
To ensure that your Enjo is used safely, the following instructions must be followed.

5.1 Safety instructions

Before travelling:
•
To avoid injury, the user must wear closed, sturdy footwear when using the Enjo, never open sandals, flip-flops, slippers or similar
footwear. The use of the Enjo by a barefoot user is also prohibited. Barefoot use of the Enjo is also prohibited.
•
Before a person sits in the wheelchair, the wheelchair brakes must be applied and the Enjo switched off to prevent uncontrolled
movement.
•
If you notice that any function of the Enjo does not work as described in these instructions, the appliance must not be used
again. To rectify this fault, please contact your dealer or an Acekare representative.
•
Never use the Enjo as a step.
•
Never place your hands between the drive wheel [4] and the motorisation when it is running.
•
Before driving uphill or downhill with the Enjo, you must master the handling of the auxiliary drive on level ground.
•
The Enjo should only be fitted to wheelchairs that have been approved by Acekare. As the Enjo has no braking function, the
wheelchair must be fitted with brakes, ideally two drum brakes, for users who are not physically able to stop it in all driving
situations.
•
It is essential to follow the wheelchair user manual when using the Enjo.
•
Only the person pushing the wheelchair may use the Enjo. Because of the danger of tipping over, especially when travelling
uphill, it is not suitable for wheelchair users. The accompanying person must be able to catch up with the person in the event of
the wheelchair tipping backwards or sideways.
•
It is expressly recommended that anti-tip supports be fitted to the wheelchair. For ascents of more than 4.5 degrees (8%), the
use of a pair of anti-tip supports is compulsory.
•
The brakes on the wheelchair on which the Enjo is mounted must be positioned so that the accompanying person pushing it
can easily reach them.
