10.2 Safety instructions

•The drive unit must be completely switched off before being attached to the wheelchair, before being removed from the wheelchair, and

before the user is moved into or out of the wheelchair (see chapter 3.6). The parking brakes of the wheelchair must also be applied.

•For safety reasons, you must switch the drive unit off completely and activate the parking brakes of your wheelchair when you stop,

especially if you are on a slope or incline. This is to prevent your wheelchair from rolling away inadvertently.

•Always keep both hands close to the push rims so that you are able to spontaneously change the direction of travel and brake at any time.

•The drive unit and the control unit are to be switched off completely in potentially hazardous situations (see chapter 3.6).

•In the (unlikely) event of the drive unit or control unit battery overheating or catching on fire, you must ensure that these two com-

ponents do not come into contact with water or other liquids under any circumstances. The only suitable extinguishing agents recom-

mended by the battery manufacturers are sand or a Class D fire extinguisher.

Before using the device:

•The SMOOV O10 may only be attached to push rim wheelchairs that have been approved by Alber GmbH for this device.

•The brackets or adapter axles holding for the SMOOV O10 may only be installed and modified by Alber GmbH or an Alber authorised spe-

cialist dealer.

•When using the SMOOV O10, always strictly adhere to the operating manual for the wheelchair.

•Pairs of anti-tippers need to be fitted to the wheelchair in order to use the SMOOV O10. Use of the SMOOV O10 without anti-tippers is not

permitted.

•Prior to each use, check the condition of the drive wheel [8]. If the tyre has reached its wear limit (the tread is hardly visible), the SMOOV

O10 must not be used any further.

•Prior to each use, check that your wheelchair parking brakes are working correctly. It is forbidden to use the wheelchair without working

parking brakes.

•Check the air pressure of the wheels of your wheelchair at regular intervals in accordance with the instructions and specifications of the

wheelchair manufacturer. Insufficient air pressure can severely affect the handling and range of the SMOOV O10.

•The front wheels of the wheelchair must run freely. With regard to wheels with pneumatic tyres, observe the wheelchair manufacturer’s

specifications for the required air pressure.

•Prior to each use, check that the drive unit is seated correctly in the adapter axle on your wheelchair.

•Prior to releasing the parking brakes and prior to activating the drive, check that the drive wheel is correctly positioned in the direction

of travel (see also chapter 3.4). If it is not correctly positioned, you first need to move forward manually using the push rims and then

switch on the drive.

When using the SMOOV O10, please note that:

•If you notice any unusual handling of your wheelchair or SMOOV O10 at the start of use or during use, stop using the device immedi-

ately. Then contact your specialist dealer to have the problem corrected.

•Before using the SMOOV O10 to navigate slopes or inclines, you should be able to operate the device safely on level ground.

•The maximum permissible slope specified by the wheelchair manufacturer must not be exceeded.

•Avoid steps and drops and keep a safe distance from them.

•If the drive unit is switched on, each actuation of the control unit is converted into a movement command. For this reason, when stop-

ping or waiting in potentially hazardous areas (e.g. while waiting at a traffic light, on slopes, or on ramps of any type), take your hand

off of the control unit and secure your wheelchair using its parking brakes.

•Never reach into a wheelchair wheel if the drive unit is switched on.

•Do not insert or throw objects of any kind into a wheelchair wheel.

•Never attach objects of any kind to the control unit. This could result in unwanted travel impulses.

•When navigating pavements, keep a safe distance from the kerb (preferably the width of the wheelchair).

•Avoid using the wheelchair on soft ground (e.g. loose chipping, sand, mud, snow, ice or deep puddles).

•The force of the drive unit is not to be underestimated. For example, if the drive wheel [8] “turns” on loose ground, parts lying on the

ground (e.g. sand, stones, small pieces of wood, etc.) can be hurled backwards. Pay particular attention to this when there are persons

behind your wheelchair.

•Never leave your wheelchair with the SMOOV O10 attached to it unattended. This applies irrespective of whether the SMOOV O10 is switched on

or off.

•The SMOOV O10 can be impaired by strong electromagnetic fields and, in rare cases, it may interfere with other equipment such as

anti-shoplifting barriers or RFID emitters e.g. in department stores.

•You must not use the SMOOV O10 on escalators or moving walkways.

•When moving at maximum speed, do not suddenly change your direction of travel to the left or right, as this could cause the wheelchair

to tip sideways.

•When cornering and when navigating slopes, it is imperative that you follow the instructions in chapter 3.4.

•If you intend to stop in your wheelchair on a slope or incline, your wheelchair must be parked facing across this slope or incline (not up

or down) and the parking brakes must be applied.

•When approaching inclines, the drive must first be activated, then the wheelchair’s parking brakes need to be released.
