14 Safety instructions regarding
dangerous locations and dan-
gerous situations
The operator of the product determines the
route to be driven taking the operating instruc-
tions, their driving knowledge and physical
abilities into consideration.
The personal driving skills are particularly im-
portant in the following dangerous locations
which are provided as examples; the product's
user must use their judgement before driving in
such locations:

quay walls, landing and berthing locations,
paths and locations close to water, unse-
cured bridges and dykes.

narrow paths, slopes (e.g. ramps and
driveways), narrow paths on a slope,
mountainous routes.

narrow and / or steeply sloping paths along
main roads or near cliffs.

routes which are covered in leaves, snow
or ice.

ramps and lifting equipment on vehicles.
When driving in a circle or turning on hills
or downward slopes, there may be an in-
creased tendency to tip over to the side due to
the changes in the centre of gravity. Always
perform these driving manoeuvres with in-
creased caution and only at slow speed. If
required, the driving manoeuvre must not be
performed or only with the help of an assistant.
When crossing main roads, intersections
and level crossings, extreme caution is
needed. Crossing rails in the road or at level
crossings must never be undertaken while
driving parallel, otherwise the wheels could
become caught which would result in the
wheelchair and the product being unable to
manoeuvre.
When driving on ramps and lifting equip-
ment on vehicles, extreme caution is needed.
During the lifting or lowering operation of the
ramp or the lifting equipment, the product
should be switched off and the service brake

operated. In this way rolling away due to unin-
tentional drive commands, for example, can be
prevented.
The grip of the tyres on the ground is re-
duced in the wet. There is an increased risk of
slipping. Adjust your driving, braking and steer-
ing behaviour accordingly.

15 Ending the driving operation

Turn off the drive unit. To make getting out of
the wheelchair more simple, the product can
be disconnected from the wheelchair (see
operating instructions "Adapter & Adaptation").
The product may only be disconnected with the
drive turned off to prevent any unintended
drive signals.
16 Safety instructions - after driv-
ing / use
Always turn off the product immediately
when it is not in use to prevent accidental trig-
gering of a drive signal by touching the crank
handle and to prevent the batteries being dis-
charged.
Always observe the instructions and rec-
ommendations in the drive manufacturer's
operating instructions concerning charging the
batteries.
17 Adapter & adaptation
Where necessary and ordered, a suitable
adapter for your wheelchair is included with the
delivery.
Please read the operating instructions and
assembly instructions for the "Adapter & Adap-
tation" before using the product.
The drive's controller must only be
switched on after completing the adaptation
process. The adaptation and disconnection of
the product may only be performed when the
driving signal sensor is inactive to prevent
unintended drive signals.
