L
When inflating the tyres, always check that the pressure is correct. The correct pressure is
given on the tyre walls (also refer to "Technical details").
L
Use only inflating equipment which complies with regulations and indicates the pressure in
bar, or use the supplied air pump. We do not accept any liability for damage caused by using
inflation equipment not supplied by the manufacturer.

PUSHING THE WHEELCHAIR

The wheelchair can be pushed by an attendant. Turn the locking lever outwards (inwards in the case
of the TRACER 50+); this allows the wheelchair to be pushed freely. Now the wheelchair will no longer
be driven by the motors, nor will it be braked by the motors.

TRANSPORTING THE WHEELCHAIR

Before lifting up the wheelchair, all moveable parts must be dismantled (footrests, armrests, and
steering unit).
L
When raising the wheelchair, it should only be grasped by fixed parts of the frame.

To prevent damage, the steering unit and armrests should be removed for transportation.

When assembling, make sure that all screws are retightened properly.
To prevent the wheelchair from moving about, switch the locking mechanism behind the backrest to
electronic driving (it must be engaged). In addition, engage the parking brakes if present in your
model. If you require further belt securing systems, make sure that they are only attached to solid
parts of the frame.
If you want to be taken up or down stairs with the wheelchair, you will need a wheelchair ramp
L
At least two persons are required to move the wheelchair up or down stairs or over single
steps.

When being transported, no persons or objects should be below the wheelchair, to prevent
personal injury or damage to the wheelchair.
