Safety instructions

General
An electric wheelchair is a motorized vehicle and special care must, therefore,
be taken when it is used.
Incorrect use may both injure the user and damage the chair. In order to reduce
these risks, you should read the Owner's Manual carefully, in particular the safe-
ty instructions and their warning texts.
Any inappropriate modifications to the wheelchair and its various systems may
entail an increased risk of accidents. Carefully follow the recommendations in
the Handling section to prevent the risk of accidents in connection with driving.
All modifications to and interventions in the vital systems of the wheelchair must
be performed by a qualified service technician. Always contact a qualified ser-
vice technician in cases of doubt.
