2.2 Performance

Optimising the driving features of the
VARIUS to the personal facts is to be done
in coordination with your authorised spe-
cialist dealer or therapist.
The adaptability supplies very good driv-
ing comfort as well as a high operation-
al security.
2.3 Additional user/
safety information
A clean, passive illumination is re-
quired for the driving on public high-
ways/pavements!
Do not throw or drop parts belong-
ing to the wheelchair! – Removable
parts, e.g. armrests and legrests,
must be correctly handled in order
maintain their function.
6
Removable parts, e.g. armrests and
legrests, must be checked for correct
locking before the start of each drive.
Never leave children/adolescents in
wheelchairs unsupervised.
For smaller obstacles, e.g. small ledg-
es/slopes, always move slowly and at
a right angle (90°) to the obstacle,
until the swivel wheels are almost
touching the obstacle. Briefly stop the
wheelchair and then drive over the
obstacle.
A direct change of movement to the
opposite direction, e.g. from reverse
to forward movement without involv-
ing a steering action, causes full brak-
ing if the swivel wheels are moving
inwards at the same time.
The use of a safety belt prevents the
user from falling out of the wheel-
chair.
Observe the brochure safety informa-
tion for mechanical wheelchairs .
