• When you need to turn, remember to slow down and be extra careful. If
you take a turn to quickly, you may lose control of the Batec and run the
risk of tipping over or crashing. Lean your body into the curve for better
stability and to reduce the risk of tipping over.
• While driving and braking, hold the grips firmly with both hands in order to
avoid any accidents caused by steering error.
• Going up or down kerbs isn't recommended, as there is a risk of tipping
over. When you can't avoid a kerb, we recommend you:
- Get help whenever possible.
- Take the kerb perpendicularly, so that both wheels of your wheelchair
go over the kerb at the same time. Going over a kerb in any other way
significantly increases the risk of tipping over.
- Avoid banging the Batec when going up or down over a kerb, as this
could damage both the Batec and your wheelchair.
- The Batec and the wheelchair must roll gently over the kerb on all
wheels.
- Never try to go up or down over any kerb more than 10 cm high.
• When travelling up or down a hill, we recommend you:
- Get help whenever possible while on a hill.
- Stay a straight course.
- When going up steep hills, lean forward to put more weight on the front
wheel and improve traction.
- Avoid unnecessary turns and never turn sharply, as this puts you at risk
of tipping over.
- Avoid stopping: this may lead you to lose control of the Batec.
- When going downhill, go slowly, braking continuously, and avoid
braking sharply.
- Don’t use the brakes on your wheelchair; this could cause them to lock
up and you to lose control.
• When travelling long distances we recommend you carry an extra battery.
• For BATEC MANUAL and BATEC HYBRID, don’t put your hands in the chain
area. There is a risk your fingers may get stuck in any moving parts.
• Make sure the grip on your wheels is proper conditions.
• Make sure you are familiar with braking distances at various speeds.
