Commissioning

The product is handed over to you ready to
use by a PRO ACTIV dealer. They will fit, if not
already done, the required fastening elements
to your wheelchair to hold the adapter and, if
required, any other accessories. In addition,
the batteries and the display included in deliv-
ery will be installed and the parking stands will
be adjusted to the correct height.
Finally, you will be fully instructed in the use of
the product based on the operating instructions
included in delivery. If you wish (recommended
by PRO ACTIV), you will be presented with a
record of training and a hand-over certificate
as written evidence and in addition the operat-
ing instructions and any other accessories for
your own use. The form for the record of train-
ing and the hand-over certificate can be found
in chapters 30 and 31.
It is recommended that you take along an as-
sistant to the training so that, if required, they
can assist you later when handling the product.
During the initial commissioning of the product,
drive at minimum speed and become accus-
tomed to the driving characteristics of the
product. Always adapt the speed and driving
manoeuvres to match your own abilities, the
external circumstances and the legal regula-
tions. You will get a feel for how to use the
product safely after a short time.

10 Hand-over

The hand-over must be done by your dealer or
a field representative from PRO ACTIV. During
the hand-over, the record of training (chapter
30) and the hand-over certificate including the
associated check list (chapter 31) must be
filled in. The dealer should send a copy of the
completed documents to PRO ACTIV for filing
either as a scanned file via e-mail, by fax or in
the post. These documents are available as
pdf files which can be completed in the
download area at www.proactiv-gmbh.com.
11 Safety instructions - prior to
driving / use
The operating instructions of the con-
nected wheelchair must be strictly observed
when using the product.
If your wheelchair is operated in combina-
tion with the product, any existing anti-tipping
supports must be put into their passive position
or removed (see the wheelchair's operating
instructions). If the wheelchair is then used
without the product, the anti-tipping supports
must be brought back into their operating posi-
tion again to ensure tipping stability.
Before every trip, check the condition of
the wheels (e.g. visual inspection of the spokes
and rims, check the tyres for damage, foreign
bodies and crack formation). If you have any
doubts, the wheelchair-product combination
must not be operated any further.
Before starting your trip check that the
product's brake functions. If all existing brakes
are not fully functional, no trips may be taken.
Before every trip, check that the product is
firmly attached to the adapter and that the
adapter is firmly attached to the wheelchair.
The product may not be operated on the
wheelchair if any of the connections are not
tight and secure. In this case, contact your
dealer or PRO ACTIV.
Always ensure that your feet cannot slip
off the feet plate of the wheelchair when using
the product, if necessary by using a special
fixation device.
If present, check the function of the front
and rear lights as well as the effectiveness of
the side and rear reflectors before every trip.
Lights and reflectors must be clearly visible
during the journey and must not be covered by
other objects.
