A. POWER DRIVE
The Quickie Xtender system comprises three different driving modes: "hand-driven
operation", "Stand-By-Operation" and "Power assisted operation". The appropriate
mode is obtained by operating the main switch or activating the handrims. A Stop-
Function* operates when the handrims are not activated when the main switch is on.
The following overview illustrates comprehensively how the power assist system works.

B. PLEASE NOTE
Driving in the following places or environments can be dangerous. An attendant
should always be present and special safety precautions should be observed.
• Crossing railway lines. (The casters could get caught in the track.)
• On pavements with no distinct edging. (There is the danger of falling into the
street.)
• On station platforms. (There is the danger of falling onto the track.)
• Over gratings for culverts or drains. (The casters could get stuck between the
grating bars.)
• On gravel roads. (The tires could get stuck.)
• Traveling downhill. Travel downhill only with power supply switched on. (There
is a great danger of the wheelchair travelling so quickly that you would not be
able to stop it on your own.)
• On paths which force the wheelchair to lean to one side. (The wheelchair could
tip over sideways.)
• Driving by night. (Unfamiliarity with the road surface could lead to tip-overs.
Collisions with unseen third parties could occur.)
• Driving on hydraulic ramps. (There is the danger of falling off the ramp.)
• Other places which are unsuitable for wheelchair users or with which the
wheelchair user is unfamiliar.
