Safety rules

L
To prevent injury and/or damage to your transferchair, make sure that no objects
and/or body parts are caught in the driving wheels.
L
The parking brakes should be applied before getting into and out of the transferchair.
L
When getting into and out of the transferchair, do not stand on the footplates. These
should be folded up beforehand, or the footrests should be swung completely
outwards out of the way.
L
Investigate the effects of shifting the centre of gravity on the behavior of the
transferchair, for example on up or down gradients, on laterally sloping ground, or when
overcoming obstacles.
L
If you want to pick up something (lying in front of, on the side, or to the rear of the
transferchair), you should not lean too far out to avoid tipping over.
L
When moving through doors, arches, etc. ensure that there is enough room at the sides
so that you do not get your hands or arms caught or crushed and that there is no
damage to the transferchair.
L
Only use your transferchair according to regulations. For example, avoid uncontrolled
rolling against obstacles (steps, curbs, doorframes, etc) or dropping down from ledges.
The manufacturer cannot assume liability for damage caused by overloading, collision
or other improper use.
L
Stairs may only be negotiated when aided by another person. If furnishings like drive-on,
ramps or lifts are available, use them.
L
When moving on the public highway, you are subject to the rules of the road.
L
When driving your transferchair, you should not be under the influence of alcohol or
medicine as in the case of driving other vehicles. This also applies to indoor driving.
L
When travelling outdoors, adapt your driving to weather and traffic conditions.
L
When transporting the transferchair, never pick it up by grasping movable parts
(footrests, etc.)
L
To be better visible when driving in the dark, wear the brightest possible clothing or
clothes with reflectors, and check that the reflectors mounted on the sides and rear of
the transferchair are clearly visible.
L
Never exceed the maximum load of 115 kg.
