Operation
Do not allow children to drive the wheelchair unsupervised. If your wheelchair
is fitted with lights, they must always be used in poor light and when you are
near public roads. Always remember that drivers may find it difficult to see you.
Be extremely careful when you drive near unprotected ledges, on steep slopes
or on raised surfaces. Unintentional movement or excessive speed in such
areas may lead to personal injury or damage to property.
Do not drive the wheelchair over kerbs or other edges higher than 60 mm.
When you drive over a kerb or similar raised surface, you must cross it at
a 90-degree angle (at right angles). If you cross such surfaces at any other
angle, the wheelchair may tip over.
Reduce speed when you drive on uneven ground or soft surfaces. Do not use
the wheelchair on stairs or escalators. Always use a lift.
Do not lift or move the wheelchair by holding any of its moving parts. If you do
so, the result may be personal injury or damage to property, including damage
to the wheelchair.
