SAFETY WARNINGS
It is your responsibility to ensure that you read and meet all of the rider
requirements listed below and are aware of all risks of riding as listed in this
manual before attempting to ride with BLUMIL GO.
• Due to the possibility of reaching high speeds, it is recommended to ride in a
helmet.
• Do not ride over curbs higher than 5 cm.
• Do not ride over puddles or water.
• The attachment should only be used to transport one person at a time. Any
other use is not permitted.
• It is recommended that BLUMIL GO is only used by people who are able to
physically and mentally meet the requirements of traffic on public roads.
• Please note that when driving on public roads, the handcycle is subject to all
road traffic regulations.
• Beginners should be especially careful when driving.
• Familiarize yourself with the braking distance for different speeds.
• You should also familiarize yourself with the general traffic regulations.
• To be able to move steadily in a straight line, avoid sudden steering
movements when driving at high speed or cornering.
• A three-wheeled vehicle is always less stable than a four-wheeled vehicle.
4
• When driving, braking and maneuvering, the handlebars must be held firmly
with both hands. Otherwise, there is risk of an accident.
• The speed should be adapted to the technical capabilities of the handbike,
the terrain characteristics and the operator's skills.
• Be careful when riding over curbs, bumps, etc., as the handbike may tip over.
• The driving style should be adapted to your skills.
• Be careful and drive slowly, especially when cornering.
• Before driving on hills, familiarize yourself with the product on a flat surface.
• Slow down reaching a curve and lean over to the inside of the bend.
• When waiting, for example at pedestrian crossings, traffic lights, on hills or
ramps, hold the rear wheels of the wheelchair.
• A set with the Blumil Go has a greater turning radius than the wheelchair
itself, therefore it can sometimes be impossible to turn in tight places, such
as corridors.
• On hills, the grip of the drive wheel is less than on flat roads, which means
less braking power. The driving style and speed must always be adapted to
the conditions so that the product can be stopped at any time without
causing any hazard.
• In order to avoid falling over, obstacles such as curbs must always be crossed
forward / perpendicular at low speed. The maximum height of obstacles is
50 mm, but it depends on the distance between the front wheels from the
surface, and therefore on the settings of the attachment and connection with
the Blumil GO.
• When moving on wet surfaces, the risk of slipping is increased due to the less
grip of the tires. In this situation, the driving style should be adjusted
accordingly.
• Riding the wheelchair with Blumil GO attached risks serious injury or death
from falls, loss of traction, loss of balance, collisions and other accidents.
• Do not ride with BLUMIL GO unless it has been properly adjusted to your
individual needs.
5
• Do not attempt to ride when the battery indicator displays no bars.
• Keep obstructions such as straps, clothing, jewelry, and bags away from the
wheels and other moving parts.
• Be aware of the foot rest at all times as it may catch on walls, steep inclines,
or other obstructions and cause instability with BLUMIL.
• Do not go onto surfaces steeper than 10%.
• Do not attempt to use any stairs to move between different levels, as it may
result in an accident.
• Avoid surfaces covered in ice, oil or other slippery substances.
• While using and servicing the Blumil, some body parts may get caught
in/squeezed in the elements of Blumil. You need to be very careful. After
regulating the Blumil, always make sure that the bolts are screwed securely.
• Please keep away from children under the age of 5 (choking hazard).
• Protect from fire and flammables.
• Do not ride over puddles or avoid getting the wheelchair wet in any other
way.

the center bracket.

In order to connect BLUMIL GO, it is necessary to drive the wheelchair to the
front of the bumper. The center bracket hook should be above the rear bar of
the wheelchair. If, during approaching, the central bracket gets caught, it must
be raised or lowered using the Disconnect and Connect buttons. If the front of
the footrest is in contact with the bumper, you can press the Connect button.
The front of the wheelchair will start to raise. Keep the button pressed until the
clamp rests on the footrest of the wheelchair. After connecting, make sure that
the system is firmly connected by moving the steering handle from side to side
so that there is no movement.
WARNING: Pressing the Connect button for too long
after connecting the system may damage the
wheelchair frame.
To disconnect the system, press the Disconnect button and keep it pressed until
the front wheels of the wheelchair are lowered and the central bracket rises
above the rear bar of the wheelchair. You can then freely move out with the
wheelchair.
