Safety Instructions - While Driving / Using - ProActiv NJ1 Operating Instructions Manual

Check tyre pressures at regular intervals.
Ensure that you comply with the manufac-
turer's specifications which are fitted to the
tyres. Tyre pressure which is too low has a
detrimental effect on the driving behaviour, the
range of the product and the braking action.
It is recommended that you only take a
trip with completely charged batteries. If this
recommendation is not followed, you must take
into account that the range will be restricted
when planning your route.
To minimise the risk of suffering serious
head injuries in the event of a fall, a helmet
should always be worn when driving with the
product.
12 Safety instructions - while driv-
ing / using
Always hold onto the crank handles with
both hands while driving. If the driving situation
requires you to take one hand off the crank
handles, this is only permitted when the speed
has been reduced to the minimum possible
beforehand.
Before driving up or down slopes or hills
with the product, you should be proficient in the
safe handling of the product on the flat.
Increase the speed slowly up to the de-
sired speed.
Use particular caution when approaching
stairs, edges, drops or other hazard areas.
When driving round a bend, reduce your
speed to a minimum.
When the product is switched on, the
smallest movement on the crank handle is
converted into a drive command. When waiting
at potential hazard areas (e.g. while waiting at
a pedestrian crossing, on hills or slopes or at
ramps of any type), always hold down the ser-
vice brakes and keep the crank handles in a
vertical position downwards.

Operating instructions NJ1 e-assistant
In rooms, tight or dangerous areas or
when manoeuvring, the product may only be
used with the drive inactive and turned off to
prevent unintentional drive signals. Due to the
increased turning circle, it can be difficult to
turn in buildings, in front of or in lifts or other
buildings, as the standard in such buildings
assumes a maximum turning circle of 1.5 m.
During long trips the drive and the brakes
of the product may heat up. Therefore, do not
touch the drive or the brakes during or imme-
diately after the trip (e.g. when detaching or
loading the product).
Do not attach objects (carrier bags, etc.)
to the product. These could cause an un-
wanted drive impulse when stationary and
prevent safe operation of the product while
driving.
When driving on areas which are used for
pedestrians, observe the maximum permitted
speed (walking speed 6 km/h) and keep a
sufficient distance (at least the width of a
wheelchair) from the kerbs or other obstacles
and other road users.
When driving on public roads and foot-
paths, the provisions of the road traffic regula-
tions must be observed.
Avoid driving on unpaved or loose sur-
faces (e.g. on loose gravel, in sand, mud,
snow, ice or through deep puddles of water).
If you encounter new driving situations
which are unknown to you, approach them with
great care. If you consider that the risk is too
high, you must immediately abort the driving
manoeuvre and, if required, call for help to
assist you in extracting yourself from this situa-
tion.
You must not make telephone calls while
driving. You should also avoid driving near to
strong electrical interference fields.
