Driver training

5.4
The safety and well-being of the driver is the top priority. To ensure this, it is
•
essential to understand the UNAwheel's driving characteristics. Your UNAcare
dealer or agent will help you in this regard with a complimentary device training
session.
Observe the information, safety instructions and hazard information from your
•
wheelchair manufacturer. This also applies to driving with the UNAwheel.
Never push throttle when starting up the device. This may result in the UNAwheel
•
moving uncontrollably (risk of accident).
Start your first driving attempts with caution and start your driving training on
•
level ground.
Take your driver training in areas without obstacles.
•
Always adapt your speed to external conditions so that you are able to drive
•
around any obstacles that suddenly appear or to stop your wheelchair, for
example.
Push throttle gently and without sudden movements. Avoid suddenly applying the
•
throttle particularly during potentially hazardous situations that you wish to avoid.
Brake the UNAwheel carefully in advance until it stops.
When you release the throttle, the wheel of the UNAwheel automatically switches
•
to freewheeling and the wheel is not braked! Brake using braking lever or push
rims of the wheelchair.
If the preset maximum speed is exceeded, the wheel automatically switches to
•
freewheeling.
Before using the UNAwheel to travel on a slope, practice operating the device on
•
level ground.
Always travel on slopes with a fully charged battery pack.
•
You should exercise particular caution when travelling on slopes of any kind.
•
Travel on slopes at reduced speed so that you are able to avoid any obstacles
•
that appear suddenly or stop the UNAwheel in time. Never travel on slopes in
freewheeling mode.
Never travel across steep slopes or similar conditions. Unintentionally shifting the
•
centre of gravity could result in the wheelchair tipping over on its side.
The UNAwheel can traverse obstacles such as kerbs with a maximum height of 3
•
centimetres.
Obstacles with a height of more than 3 cm (1-1/8") must not be traversed as there
•
is a risk of device damage, falling and injury.
Check the air pressure of the wheels of your wheelchair, this influence the driving
•
performance and the range of the UNAwheel.
