Safety instructions

WARNING
Risk of pinching
Please note that the seat is heavy and contains many moving parts, which
means there will always be some risk of pinching.
Use the seat's electric seat functions with the greatest care. Above all: when
you have moved up to or under a table or other fixed or moveable objects,
always make sure there are no items in the immediate vicinity which could
interfere with the seat's moving parts.
Operation of seat elevator/seat angle/backrest angle
Make sure that there is nothing which could get caught between the chassis
and the seat when the seat elevator/seat angle or backrest angle functions are
being used. Using these functions alters the center of gravity, which always
means an increased risk of tipping. Always drive at low speed and only use
these seat functions on a level surface and not on slopes, ramps, hills or other
gradients.
Center of gravity
Note that the following factors may affect the center of gravity of the
seat/wheelchair and thus the risk of tipping:
• Raising the seat elevator
• Height and angle of seat
• Position or weight distribution of the body
• Driving on sloping surfaces, for example a ramp or hill
• When wearing a backpack or using other accessories, due to the extra
weight.
If your wheelchair starts to move in an unexpected way, immediately let go of
the joystick to stop the wheelchair. Except in an emergency, NEVER use the
on/off key to stop the wheelchair. This could lead to the wheelchair stopping
suddenly and violently, resulting in personal injury.
