7 Safety Instructions

Please read the Instructions for Use first! Before using the product, you should become familiar with
the handling, function and use of the product.
To avoid potentially dangerous situations such as tipping, you should become familiar with your new
mobility base with seating shell on level ground first.
Do not stand on the footrests when getting into or out of your mobility base with seating shell.
Get to know how the mobility base with seating shell reacts when the center of gravity shifts; for
example on slopes or inclines or when clearing obstacles like steps and curbs. This should be done
only with assistance from another person.
Park the mobility base with seating shell only on level ground. If parking it on a slope is unavoidable,
make sure that you bring the seat to an upright position and that the anti-tipper is in functional posi-
tion.
If the seat is reclined then there is a risk that the mobility base with seating shell could tip over
backwards.
Please note that the seat may only be tilted with the anti-tipper in functional position.
When reaching for objects in front, to the side or behind the mobility base with seating shell, be sure
the seat occupant does not lean too far out of the seating shell as the shift in the center of gravity
might cause the mobility base with seating shell to tilt or tip over.
Treat your mobility base with seating shell with care. Do not "jump" it down from higher surfaces and
do not drive against obstacles (including steps and curbs) without braking.
The anti-tipper is a component that has been designed to prevent the mobility base with seating
shell from tipping over backwards. The anti-tipper should never be used to support the back of the
mobility base with seating shell with the rear wheels removed.
Do not go up or down stairs without assistance from another person. Use ramps or elevators
where they are available. If they are not available then two people should carry the mobility base
with seating shell over the obstacle. If only one helper is available, this person should adjust the
anti-tipper (if mounted) so that it does not contact the steps during transport. This will help avoid
a potential fall. Afterwards, the anti-tipper should be put back in its previous position. When using
lifting platforms with mounted anti-tipper, be certain that the anti-tipper is inside the standing area of
the lifting platform.
When lifting the mobility base, always hold it by firmly attached components, not by lose or moving
parts such as the footrests.
