1.6 Permissible conditions of use/locations of operation
• Observe the permissible conditions of use of the wheelchair to which the Esprit wheels are attached (see wheelchair operating manual).
• In addition to observing the information provided about the Esprit, it is also imperative to observe the information provided by the
wheelchair manufacturer (e.g. maximum gradeability, maximum permissible height of obstacles, maximum user weight, maximum speed,
etc.). The lowest values always apply.
• Any limits regarding the operation of the wheelchair (e.g. maximum gradeability, maximum permissible height of obstacles, maximum
user weight etc.) must also be observed when using the Esprit.
• The Esprit must only be used at temperatures between -25 °C and +50 °C. Therefore, do not expose the Esprit to any heat sources
(such as intense sunlight) as this may cause surfaces to reach high temperatures.
• Avoid using the wheelchair on soft ground (e.g. loose chipping, sand, mud, snow, ice or deep puddles).
• Take particular care to observe the safety instructions and hazard information provided in chapter 3.
When not in use, do not expose the Esprit to strong sunlight for long periods of time. This could cause the motor to
heat up and, in extreme cases, prevent it from operating at full power. Plastic parts also age quicker under intense
sunlight.
Never travel without anti-tippers, and only remove them in order to navigate major obstacles. It is left to the
judgement of the user as to whether to call an attendant for help when there is an increased risk that the wheel-
chair may tip over.
Travelling without a pair of anti-tippers increases the risk of accidents, and thus injuries. Alber GmbH accepts no liab-
ility for accidents caused by operation of the Esprit without a pair of anti-tippers.
The execution of “wheelie” movements (anti-tippers removed from wheelchair, Esprit wheels on the ground, front
wheels (castors) up in the air) is not permitted. Alber GmbH accepts no liability for accidents resulting from such
actions.
