1. Foreword
We thank you for the confidence you
have placed in our company by choos-
ing an electric wheelchair from the
TOURING 926 series.
The electric wheelchair can be adapted
to your individual needs by way of the
equipment variants and the accessories.
Theelectric wheelchair canbe equipped
with, for example, an electrically-adjust-
able backrest and legrests.
Like every other vehicle, the electric
wheelchair is a technical aid. It needs
explanation, a small amount of mainte-
nance and can be a source of danger
when incorrectly used. The correct han-
dling must therefore be learned.
This operating manual in combina-
tion with the
'Operating Manual for
ControlUnits'
andthe 'SafetyInforma-
tion for Electric Vehicles'
brochure
must be read before the first use of
the wheelchair, they are intended to
help you in the handling of the wheel-
chair and to prevent accidents.
Children should read this operating
manual,the
'OperatingManualforControl
Units'
andthe 'SafetyInformation forElec-
tric Vehicles'
brochure together with the
parents or a supervising/accompanying
person before the first journey with the
wheelchair.
☞Note:
Pleasenote thatthe illustrated equip-
ment variants can deviate from your
model.

mentsof thecountry inwhichthe wheel-
chair is used.
2.1 Legal requirements
for Germany
2.1.1 Electric wheelchairs with a top
speed of 6 km/h
A driving licence is not required for elec-
tric wheelchairs with a top speed of 6
km/h. Pavements may only be driven
onat walking speed.A liabilityinsurance
is not mandatory but recommendable.
The minimum age for driving this vehi-
cle is 15 years. An exemption certificate
for younger persons can be applied for
at the relevant administrative authority.
2.1.2 Electric wheelchairs with
a top speed of 10 km/h
Incontrast tothemodel witha topspeed
of 6 km/h, the German traffic regula-
tions (StVZO) require the following for
the model with a top speed of 10 km/h:
▲A valid liability insurance.
▲The registration of the vehicle at the
local vehicle registration centre.
The type approval report required for
the vehicle registration is a part of the
documentationsupplied withthe wheel-
chair. First contact your insurance com-
pany. They will provide you with an in-
surance plate that must be attached to
the rear cover of the vehicle with two
screws.
The electric wheelchair can then be
taken to the local vehicle registration
centre. The vehicle registration centre
will check that the type approval report
conforms with the vehicle and then
stamp it. The handling can vary from
place to place. Some registration cen-
tres do not insist on seeing the vehicle.
A telephone call beforehand can save
you an unnecessary journey. The vehi-
cle can then be driven on public high-
ways in accordance with the German
Highway Code (StVO). You must have
the type approval report with you at all
times when driving on public highways.
☞Note:
Allmodifications of thevehicle invali-
date the type approval.

chair in order to have the full driving
range available at any time.
Every battery has a normal 'self-dis-
charge'. The batteries should be re-
charged once a month when the elec-
tric wheelchair is not used for a long
period of time. This keeps the electric
wheelchair ready for use.
Batteries should only be charged with a
battery charger that is suitable for the
type and rating of the batteries. The
guarantee is only preserved to its full
extent when the battery chargers sup-
pliedand recommendedby ORTOPEDIA
are used. Your ORTOPEDIA authorised
dealerwill bepleased tohelp youchoose
the correct battery charger.
Charge the batteries:
– before long tours
– before a long journey.
– whenever the use permits.
– immediately if the charge capacity
indicator is lit or blinks (see the
'Op-
eratingManual forControl Units'
).
▲Comply with the contents of the
'Safetyinformationfor electricvehicles'
brochure .
▲Observe the contents of the operat-
ing manual for the battery charger.
4.4 Preparing for driv-
ing
