Please note that when travelling downhill the brake path of the e-pilot may be significantly longer than on level
ground depending on the speed and gradient. Therefore, adjust your speed accordingly.
The wheel [21] of the e-pilot is not automatically locked when the e-pilot is at a standstill and it can move freely.
Pay particular attention to the information and instructions in chapters 2.8 (Safety note on locking and releasing
the brakes on inclines and gradients) and 6.3 (Safety instructions) regarding stopping and starting on inclines
and gradients.
Take care when travelling on slopes!
If the maximum speed is exceeded, the wheel [21] switches to freewheeling and the throttle handle [1] has no
function.
In these situations, the e-pilot has to be braked to below the maximum permissible speed. The throttle handle [1]
can only be used for driving again once this has happened.
The maximum gradeability of the e-pilot is 10% (5.71°). If the device travels on steeper inclines, the possibility
of the e-pilot and wheelchair slipping backwards cannot be ruled out. In this event, apply the
parking brakes on
the wheelchair and cease travel.
Inclines and gradients with a grade exceeding 15% must not be travelled on with
the e-pilot.
