Driving rules

Support wheels

The support wheels mounted at the front minimize the risk of the wheelchair
tipping over forwards when passing obstacles and the like, and they must
always be mounted when the chair is being driven.
NOTE
The front support wheels must always be mounted when the chair is being driven. There is a risk
of tipping.
Always bear in mind that high speed and extended braking distance entail an increased risk of
accidents.
Never drive rapidly or at full speed along narrow passages, on narrow sidewalks, etc. where an
incorrect maneuver or incorrect steering can cause an increased risk of accidents.
Always drive at low speed on uneven surfaces.
Keep in mind that driving along slopes will have an effect on the wheelchair and could make it steer
to the side. Never drive at full speed along slopes.
Use of the seat tilt function displaces the center of gravity, which can have a negative effect on the
chair's handling characteristics while it is being driven. So you should never drive at full speed if
an extreme seat tilt is being used.
