hout the occupant. Only lift by the solid parts of the frame.
• Avoid hitting obstacles (steps, curbs) at full speed.
• Please pay attention to the tilt prevention feature on steps, lifting
platforms and ramps. Make sure there is enough clearance on top,
on the bottom and on the sides.
• The control unit must always be switched off when getting in or out
of the wheelchair.
• All road traffic regulations must be observed when driving on
public roads.
• The rear lights at the wheelchair must always be visible to other
road users.
• If possible, wear bright, conspicuous clothing. This will make it
easier for other road users to see you.
• Please note that the upholstery will heat up if directly exposed to
sunlight and may cause injuries to your skin when touched. You
should therefore cover these parts or protect the wheelchair from
exposure to direct sunlight.
• Please note the increased risk to the user, passenger and third par-
ties of getting trapped when using the electric seat adjustment.
• Reporting incidents. The operator or user must immediately report
1. any malfunction
2. any change to the features or performance as well as
3. any inaccuracies in the marking or operating instructions of a
medical device, which has or could have led to death or to a serious
deterioration of the health of a patient, an employee or a third
party, to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices. This
institute will immediately forward the notification to the operator's
competent authority and also inform the manufacturer and the
manufacturer's competent authority

Please note that operating the wheelchair in
push mode by uncoupling the drive mechanism
will deactivate the electro-magnetic brakes. The
wheelchair should therefore only be used on level
ground in this mode. Non-observance may lead to
life-threatening situations.

2.2. Advice regarding EMC
interference
Despite meeting all applicable EMC guidelines and standards it is
possible that the wheelchair will experience interference from other
electrical devices (e. g. cell phones) or interfere with these. Should you
notice such interference, either turn off the other device or your electric
wheelchair and move it outside the interference range.

2.3. Brakes

The wheelchair is brought to a standstill by the automatic brake after
releasing the joystick. When the wheelchair is being pushed no parking
brake is available when the drive mechanism is disconnected. To lock
the wheelchair in place, you need to reconnect the drive mechanism.
Stop the wheelchair first. In an emergency, it can also be engaged
whilst in motion e.g. on steep paths.

2.4. Use on public roads

The wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use. Please keep in
mind that you are using public roads and therefore have to observe
all road traffic regulations. Do not endanger other road users through
inconsiderate driving, especially on walkways.

2.5. Purpose

The Triplex electric wheelchair is designed for indoor and outdoor use
by persons with impaired mobility.
It is therefore sufficiently compact and agile for indoor use and also
capable of handling medium distances and overcoming small obstacles
outdoors. It is classified under category B according to the EN 12184
standard. The maximum load capacity is 136 kg.
