in the factory and packed in special

boxes.

☞ Note:

We nevertheless ask you, immedi-

ately after receipt of the SCOOTER

best while the delivery agent is

present – to check for any damag-

es that might have occurred during

transport.

Please arrange the following if you

believe damage occurred during

transport:

a) Draw up a DAMAGE REPORT – the

carrier is required to do this.

b) Draw up a LETTER OF SUBROGA-

TION – you assign to the supplier

all claims resulting from this dam-

age.

c) Send back the BILL OF LADING, the

DAMAGE REPORT and the LETTER

OF SUBROGATION to us.

We are unable to accept any claims

for compensation if you fail to ob-

serve these instructions or notify us

of damage after the goods have been

accepted.

☞ Note:

The packaging of the SCOOTER

should be stored for a further

transport that might become nec-

essary.

FOREWORD

We thank you for the conﬁ dence you

have placed in our company by way of

choosing the SCOOTER.

The SCOOTER is a technical aid. It is

subject to explanations, requires reg-

ular care and can cause danger when

used improperly. The correct handling

must therefore be learned.

This manual is to help you get accus-

tomed to the handling of your SCOOT-

ER as well as to prevent accidents.

☞ Note:

☞ Please note that the illustrated

equipment variants can deviate

from your model.

☞ The tools required for adjustments

and maintenance is listed under

chapter < Technical Data >.

!

Attention:

Read and observe this manual be-

fore ﬁ rst operation:

– this operating manual,

– the safety information < Electronic

wheelchairs >.

☞ Note:

Children should read this operat-

ing manual as well as the Safety in-

structions < Electronic wheelchairs

> before ﬁ rst operation together

with their parents, resp. a supervi-

sor or attendant.

STATUTORY REGULA-

TIONS

Please comply with the legal require-

ments of the country in which the

wheelchair is used.

Legal requirements for Ger-

many

☞

Note:

There is no driving licence required

for SCOOTER with a maximum

speed of up to 15 km/h.

☞ The minimum age for operation of

a SCOOTER is 15 years. An exemp-

tion certiﬁ cate for younger persons

can be applied for at the relevant

administrative authority.

☞ Public passages such as sidewalks

may be driven on at fair walking

speed.

☞ SCOOTER from 6 km/h must be ﬁ t

with a rear marking plate accord-

ing to ECE-R69 on the rear of the

back support.

SCOOTER up to 6 km/h

A liability insurance is only required

for a SCOOTER over 6 km/h, but gen-

erally recommendable.

☞ Electronic vehicles such as SCOOT-

ERS, wheelchairs, auxiliary drives,

electro-mobiles that achieve a

maximum speed of no more than

6 km/h are included in the private

liability insurance at no extra cost.

For this you only need to present

a formless application to your re-

sponsible insurance.

SCOOTER more then 6 km/h

Opposed to the model with a maxi-

mum speed of up to 6 km/h, the fol-

lowing is required of the model with

a maximum speed of up to 15 km/h

by the Straßenverkehrszulassungsor-

dnung (StVZO = German road trafﬁ c

permit regulations):

☞ A valid liability insurance.

☞ The operating permit of the

SCOOTER from the local vehicle

admission ofﬁ ce.

☞ The operating licence always has

to be carried along while partici-

pating in public trafﬁ c.

The operation permission certiﬁ cate

required for the admission in included

with the SCOOTER.

8

CE regulations

☞

Note:

This vehicle corresponds to the re-

spective demands of the EC-direc-

tive 93/42 EWG.

However, the possibility of interfer-

ence from high-frequency radiation

from other electrical equipment can-

not be excluded.

High-frequency radiation exists in the

proximity of, for example, radar and

broadcasting stations, all types of ra-

dio sets and radio telephones. Stop

the SCOOTER and switch it off imme-

diately if it reacts in an uncontrolled

manner or causes interference to oth-

er electronic devices.

☞ Note:

The SCOOTER can disturb highly

sensitive, electromagnetic ﬁ elds of

other electronic devices, as for ex-

ample antitheft devices in stores.

The connection of other electrical de-

vices can also cause malfunctions.

!

Attention:

Generally do not operate the

SCOOTER within the direct sur-

rounding of medical devices with

a high hazard potential and/or life

retaining function as well as diag-

nostic equipment.

Contact your insurance ofﬁ ce ﬁ rst.

There you will receive an insurance

licence plate (moped plate), which is

to be attached to the rear panel with

two screws.

Such equipped SCOOTER is then to be

presented to the local vehicle admis-

sion ofﬁ ce. The operation permission

certiﬁ cate will be checked there for

compliance with the SCOOTER and

stamped.

The application of the operating per-

mit depends on the respective vehicle

admission ofﬁ ce.

In general it is sufﬁ cient to send the

operating permit certiﬁ cate of con-

formity to the local vehicle admission

ofﬁ ce to apply for the operating per-

mit.

The stamped operating permit is then

sent back.

A previous clarifying telephone con-

versation can save unnecessary er-

rands. Afterwards the SCOOTER may

be driven in public trafﬁ c according to

the Straßenverkehrsordenung (StVO =

German road trafﬁ c regulations, resp.

StVZO = German road trafﬁ c permit

regulations).

☞ Note:

Any change to the thus admitted

SCOOTER leads to an expiry of the

operating permit.

Tips for accident prevention

First driving exercises

A reduced maximum speed must be

pre-selected on the control panel for

the initial driving practice. Make your-

self familiar with the driving behav-

iour of the SCOOTER in small steps.

The SCOOTER should not be used out-

side of the familiar environment or on

public highways until you have a safe

control of the vehicle.

Driving in street trafﬁ c

The valid trafﬁ c regulations must be

observed and abided when participat-

ing in public trafﬁ c.

▲ Check the functioning of the light-

ing system before each journey.

▲ Carry out a brief braking and steer-

ing test at a – very low speed – af-

ter the initial movement.

▲ Approach and overcome obstacles

slowly and at a right angle (1).

!

Attention:

Observe the safety information <

Electronic wheelchairs >!

▲ With the curve speed reduction

switched off there is an increased

danger of tilting in curves, espe-

cially for 3-wheel models.

– The driving manner is to be

adapted to the respective driving

situation. – Danger of accidents!

14

Safety information

▲ Curves and slopes are to driven on

with adequate speed.

▲ Danger of tilting in curves!

▲ Do not drive on higher inclinations

and slopes than noted in the tech-

nical data.

▲ There is a danger of tilting over

when braking during reverse

downhill rides!

▲ The support castors may touch

ground while driving down ob-

stacles such as curbs and therefore

the drive wheels may loose surface

contact. The SCOOTER is no longer

manoeuvrable!

▲ Do not turn the driving key into

the OFF position while driving. This

will switch off the SCOOTER and

cause it to stop immediately.

▲ Do not drive with the steering col-

umn locked!
