Driving information

Danger of falling over! Risk of injury!
Always observe the safety information in Chapter "2.1.2
Safety information – When driving" from page 3.
Driving the Solstice Comfort is very simple and after a few
practice sessions you will find it very easy.
Please observe the following when driving:
• Always use the grip rings and not the tyres to move
the wheelchair.
• Please note that the grip rings can become slippery
due to moisture and your hands will slip off more eas-
ily. If necessary, wear gloves.
A
CAUTION! Risk of tipping!
Solstice Comfort – 15.09.2010
• Increased risk of injury exists when the drive wheels
and grip rings are rotating. Always drive with great
care.
• Never drive so fast that you cannot brake safely.
• Never use the wheel locks to brake during driving.
Risk of tipping!
Never drive parallel to the gradient.
Please observe the following points to ensure that the
wheelchair does not tip over:
• Never drive over obstacles that are too high.
Example:
Kerbs
Remedy:
Always negotiate kerbs at entry areas such as
driveways.
• Do not try to climb an obstacle when driving on in-
clines.
• Approach the obstacle at a right angle.
