2.4 Safety Information on Driving and Freewheel Mode
Danger of injury if the vehicle tips over!
•
Only ever negotiate gradients of up to the maximum defined in the Technical Specifications
and only with the backrest in an upright position, and the seat lifter in the lowest position (if
installed)!
•
Only ever drive downhill at a maximum of 2/3rds of the top speed! Avoid abrupt braking or
accelerating on gradients!
•
If at all possible, avoid driving on slippery surfaces (such as snow, gravel, ice etc.) where there
is a danger of you losing control over the vehicle, especially on a gradient! If driving on such a
surface is inevitable, then always drive slowly and with the utmost caution!
•
Never attempt to overcome an obstacle when on an uphill or downhill gradient!
•
Never attempt to drive up or down a flight of steps!
•
Always approach obstacles straight on! Ensure that the front wheels and rear wheels move
over the obstacle in one stroke, do not stop halfway! Do not exceed the maximum obstacle
height (see Technical Specifications)!
•
Avoid shifting your centre of gravity as well as abrupt changes of direction when the vehicle is
in motion!
