Keep the following general warnings in mind during use:
• Do not use your wheelchair if you are under influence of alcohol, medicines or other substances
that may influence your driving abilities.
• Be aware that some parts of your wheelchair may get very hot or cold due to ambient
temperature, solar radiation, heating devices or due to the motor drive during the ride. Be
careful when touching. Wear protective clothing if the weather is cold. After a ride, wait until
the wheelchair/motor has cooled down.
• Before switching the wheelchair on, be aware of the environment/situation in which you are
located. Adjust your speed to this before driving off. We advise you to use the slowest speed
setting to drive indoors. For outdoor driving you can adjust the speed to a suitable speed at
which you feel comfortable and safe.
• ALWAYS keep in mind that your wheelchair may stop suddenly due to a discharged battery or
a protection that prevents your wheelchair from further damage. Also check the possible
causes mentioned in § 4.3. Use your safety belt to prevent injuries.
• Your wheelchair has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility and complies with the
standard, see chapter 5. Nevertheless, sources of electromagnetic fields may influence the
driving performance of your wheelchair, such as the fields of mobile phones, power generators
or high-power energy sources. On the other hand, the electronics of your wheelchair can affect
other electronic appliances too, such as alarm systems of shops and automatic doors. We
therefore advise you to check your wheelchair regularly for damage and wear, since these may
enlarge the interference (see also chapter 4).
• Only drive on flat surfaces where both driving wheels touch the ground and where there is
sufficient contact to operate the wheelchair safely.
• Alterations or substitutions should not be made to the wheelchair securement points or to
structural and frame parts or components without consulting the wheelchair manufacturer.
• Make sure that your hands, clothes, belts, buckles or jewellery don’t get caught by wheels or
other moving parts during use.
Be aware that your wheelchair may interfere with some types of anti-theft systems, depending on
the settings used. This may cause the shop's alarm to go off.
In case a serious incident has occurred involving your product, notify Vermeiren or your specialist
dealer as well as the competent authority in your country.
2.4 Transport
2.4.1 Moving out of the way
Use the operating console to drive the wheelchair to its destination.
Otherwise, put the wheelchair in free-wheel mode (see §3.4) and use the push bar to move it.
2.4.2 Transport by aircraft
Since the wheelchair is equipped with non-spillable AGM batteries, it is possible to transport the
wheelchair (as a whole) by aircraft. Consult your airline for the correct handling procedures before
booking your flight. Before handing your wheelchair over to the airport personnel, disconnect the
battery from the wheelchair, see installation manual.
