only with assistance from another person.
Park the mobility base with seating shell only on level ground. If parking it on a slope is unavoidable, If parking it on a slope is unavoidable,If parking it on a slope is unavoidable,
make sure that you bring the seat to an upright position and that the anti-tipper is in functional posi-
tion.
If the seat is reclined then there is a risk that the mobility base with seating shell could tip over
backwards.
Please note that the seat may only be tilted with the anti-tipper in functional position.
When reaching for objects in front, to the side or behind the mobility base with seating shell, be sure

lifting platforms with mounted anti-tipper, be certain that the anti-tipper is inside the standing area of
the lifting platform.
When lifting the mobility base, always hold it by firmly attached components, not by lose or moving
parts such as the footrests.
Be sure that the clamping levers of the height adjustable push handles are firmly tightened.
Make sure that the brakes are applied when stationary on uneven ground or when transferring (e.g.
to a car).
