Safety information

General information
General safety information
The Twister is a pre-assembled component that comes ready to install. It was
designed and built in line with carefully chosen harmonised standards that must
be observed, as well as further technical specications. Consequently, it is
a state-of-the-art product and provides the best possible level of safety while
in operation. The Twister left the factory in a awless condition in terms of
technical safety.
However, safety can only be achieved in practice if all the required actions have
been taken. The persons responsible for installation and operation have a duty
to plan these actions and monitor their implementation.
Observe the following in particular during operation:
• Please read these installation and operating instructions carefully before using
the swivel seat.
• Only accessories obtained from the manufacturer may be used with the Twister.
• Structural modications to the Twister may only be performed following
consultation with the manufacturer.
• Comply with the operating instructions when using and operating the Twister.
• Observe the applicable accident prevention and safety provisions when
operating the Twister.
• The Twister may only be operated if it is in a awless, functional condition.
Arrange for functional faults to be remedied immediately.
• The complete operating and installation instructions must always be carried
in the vehicle.

TION!

The Twister helps seniors and individuals with disabilities to get into and out of
a vehicle.

of the vehicle until the seat is completely outside.
