Driving the MC Concept 1121
Before getting on or off the vehicle, you must check the following:
A. That the wheelchair is switched off and that it is not disengaged.
B. That the wheelchair and the seat you are moving to are both stable.
C. Avoid placing your full body weight on the footrests. This may tip
the wheelchair forwards.
While driving, you must place your arms on the armrests and your feet on
the footrests.
Cables and leads must be fixed using ties.
Never attempt to climb onto raised objects or kerbs higher than 7 cm, and
always approach changes of level head on, with the front and back wheels
moving in a straight line.
Warning!
The seat should NEVER be hoisted while driving on uneven surfaces,
slopes or up and down kerbs. The higher the seat is raised, the more
unstable the chair becomes.
Note:
If your MC Concept/vehicle is fitted with a docking system from Dahl
Engineering, note that the clearance changes to
5.5 cm.
See the User Manual for details about driving on hills, inclines and declines,
and driving on public roads.

11 tips for driving the MC Concept:
• Reduce the speed when turning corners and also when going downhill.
• Reduce the speed when driving on inclines. Max. incline = 10° = 17%
• Reduce the speed when driving on a sideways incline.
Max. sideways incline = 10°
• Avoid driving and parking in the rain.
• Avoid parking on snow and ice.
• Always park on a level (flat) surface.
• Avoid driving off-road.
• Avoid driving on icy surfaces, or smooth surfaces (for example snow or
freshly mown grass).
• Never attempt to climb kerbs higher than 7 cm. If the wheelchair has a
docking system, the clearance is reduced to 5.5 cm.
• Avoiding driving over kerbs diagonally. There is a risk of tipping over.
• Not to be used for towing other vehicles, etc.
Note:
Do not drive the MC Concept when under the influence. This applies to
both medicine and alcohol.

Driving on public roads:
When driving on public roads, footpaths, pedestrian streets, car parks,
shopping centres, etc. you must make sure you adjust your speed and
distance for other users. At 7 km/h you must follow the traffic rules
applicable to cyclists. This also means that your lights must be switched on
during lighting-up time. (Optional extra)
On footpaths, the maximum speed is 6 km/h. In this situation you are
regarded as a pedestrian.
Note:
You should assume that other road users cannot see you while you are
sitting in the MC Concept. So take great care and wait for the road to clear
before crossing.
Driving on stairs/escalators:
The wheelchair is not designed for use on stairs or escalators and any
attempt to do so may cause serious injury to yourself and others.

Brakes
The MC Concept is equipped with two sets of brakes: the motor brake and
the parking brake.
Motor braking:
When you drive downhill, the control unit of the MC Concept applies the
motor brake.
Parking brake:
When the vehicle is stationary and the joystick is not moved, a magnetic
brake is automatically applied to each drive unit.
Note:
You must NEVER brake the MC Concept by switching off with the 1/0
button while moving, as this applies the magnetic brake with considerable
force, with a resulting risk of tipping.
Disengagement:
The MC Concept is equipped with two disengagement levers, one on each
side of the vehicle. Always disengage on both sides.
Warning!
When the wheelchair is disengaged, the braking system is deactivated.
You must NEVER disengage on sloping terrain
