the environment. Where possible, the
warnings have been placed in the applicable
paragraphs.
2.1 Temperature
Warning!
Avoid physical contact with the motors in

continuously in motion during use and can
become warm. After use, the motors will cool
down slowly. Physical contact may cause
burns.
Caution!
Ensure that the power assist is not exposed
to direct sunlight for extended periods of
time, because this can increase surface
temperatures signifi cantly.
2.2 Electromagnetic radiation
The power assist has been tested for
compliance with the relevant requirements
regarding electromagnetic radiation (EMC
requirements). This implies the power assist

It cannot be excluded that electromagnetic
radiation emanating from mobile telephones,
medical apparatus and other sources, may
have an infl uence on the power assist.
It cannot be excluded that the power assist

of, for example, shop doors, burglar alarm
systems and/or garage door openers.
Caution!

electrical interference fi elds, such as
products with very strong magnets.
In case you experience strange behaviour
in a particular environment, switch off your
power assist or leave that environment as
soon as possible. If the strange behaviour
remains, please contact your dealer.
2.3 Moving parts
Warning!
The power assist has moving and rotating
parts. Be careful: contact with moving parts

power assist is not designed for the speeds
of these applications.

3 Product description
The power assist is a unique product giving
manual wheelchair users additional power
assistance, by just using one of the rims on the
power assist wheels. The large Assist rim can
be used as a conventional wheelchair push
rim to manually propel the wheel. In case the
power assist is switched on, the motor of the
power assist will give power assistance while
driving. The amount of support that is provided
is dependent on the selected profi le and the
force applied to the rim. The smaller Drive rim
provides continuous support and can be used to
move forwards or backwards – in this case no
manual propulsion is required. The power assist
is very intuitive to use, but some practise and
training is required for safe usage.
