· When using a wheelchair with height-adjustable leg
support, you must take into account that the horizontal
position of the leg support and your legs can displace
the center of gravity forwards, and this consequently
reduces the braking and steering performance of the
system. Furthermore, this increases the danger of tipping
over, as well as the lateral drift of the wheelchair when
driving on a sloped gradient.

Safety Instructions
·
Only persons who participated in a training session may
operate the scalamobil.
· The scalamobil may only be used with specially adjusted
wheelchairs and/or accessories.
· Never use the scalamobil inside on wet, slippery, waxed
surfaces or on loose rugs or carpets.
· Never use the scalamobil outside on wet, slick or icy
grounds.
· NEVER use the system on an escalator, even with an
attendant. If you do, a fall or tip-over is likely.
· Use the scalamobil exclusively on staircases with a step
depth of a minimum of 11 cm and a maximum step height

Please wear dry, non-skidding, closed footwear when
climbing stairs with the scalamobil.
· Never release the handlebars while operating the scalamobil
on stairs.
· Never touch the turning wheels when you climb stairs or
clean the device.
· Make sure that no extraneous particles (e.g. pebbles) get
into the power unit or the brakes.
·
NEVER overload the chair or the system and NEVER load
it with more than one person! Load benchmarks can be
viewed in the technical data of the user manual or on the
type plate of the chair. NEVER exceed the weight of these
benchmarks.
· If you do exceed the limit, damage to your chair or your
respective system, a fall, tip-over, or loss of control may
occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
· During the climbing process neither the operating person
of the scalamobil/scalacombi nor the wheelchair occupant
should be intoxicated either with alcohol or with drugs
that could affect them.
You may never use the scalamobil in the
vicinity of inflammable gases.
