Driving rules

Support wheels
Your wheelchair may be fitted with front support wheels to reduce the risk of tip-
ping when driving over obstacles, etc. They must always be fitted when you
drive.
WARNING
If your wheelchair is fitted with support wheels, they must always be fitted when you drive. There
is a risk of tipping.
Always be aware that high speed and a longer braking distance mean a greater risk of accident.
Never drive fast/at full speed in narrow passages, on narrow pavements, etc. because an incorrect
maneuver/steering error can lead to a risk of accident.
Remember that a surface that is closed at the side will affect the wheelchair and may make it steer
sideways. Therefore, never drive at full speed on surfaces that are closed at the side.
Using the seat angle function shifts the center of gravity, which may have a negative effect on the
driving properties. So never drive at full speed if the seat has been angled a long way.
