Introduction

Before starting your journey, familiarise
yourself with these operating instructions pay-
ing particular attention to the safety information
and hazard warnings contained within them.
If you are not sure how to handle the
product or if technical faults occur, please con-
tact your dealer or PRO ACTIV before using it.
When operating the product, the wheel-
chair operating instructions must also be ob-
served. Information on limit values must not be
exceeded. If the values contained in the two
operating instructions differ, the lower limit is
the one which applies.
The control software is programmed at the
factory to ensure that the legal requirements
for a pedelec drive are met. If changing the
software, it must be ensured that these re-
quirements are still met.
Never leave the product unattended, ei-
ther when it is switched on or switched off. If
this cannot be avoided, removing the battery
and the display can help prevent unauthorised
use.

Product description / purpose

The product is attached to a manual wheel-
chair as an electrically propelled drive unit
which helps to assist the wheelchair user when
moving the wheelchair. This means that long
distances can be covered largely without tiring
the user. On flat roads and uphill, the electrical
drive of the product provides the force to pull
the wheelchair. Downhill, the speed can be
controlled using the product's braking system
and, possibly, through the recuperation. This
allows for safe driving down slopes.
For safety reasons, the product may only be
operated by persons who
• have been trained in its use by the dealer
or PRO ACTIV.
• can move and control their hands and
arms so that they are able to operate the
controls and perform the full steering
movement without restrictions while driv-
ing.
• are physically and mentally capable of
safely operating the device in all operating
situations and can meet the legal require-
ments for use on public roads.
7 Acceptable usage and operating
conditions / places of use
Observe the instructions on permitted operat-
ing conditions in the operating instructions of
your wheelchair on which the product has been
installed.
Use the product on paved surfaces. Avoid
driving on unpaved or loose surfaces (e.g. on
loose gravel, in sand, mud, snow, ice or
through deep puddles of water), as this may
result in incalculable risks.
The wheelchair with the adapted product must
be equipped in accordance with road traffic
regulations when operated on public roads and
spaces.
When driving downhill the maximum permitted
speed must not be exceeded; if necessary
operate the hydraulic service brake. The ap-
propriate value for your product can be found
in the operating instructions from the drive
manufacturer.
The driving characteristics and speed parame-
ters can be programmed using the display. The
programming has been done at the factory and
does not normally need to be adjusted.
Changes to the programming may only be
carried out by your dealer or PRO ACTIV.
The maximum permitted load of the product in
its standard design is 120 kg towed capacity
and 10 kg payload. Individual customisation
can be made to accommodate a higher load;
this will be indicated on the ratings plate.
Please ensure that the load limit indicated on
the ratings plate is not exceeded when trans-
porting objects.
