 Avoid driving across curbs that may be too high to prevent tipping and reduce danger
of tipping. Lower curbs with a height up to 3 cm maximally must slowly be passed in a
right angle.
 Adjust your driving style to degree of disability. Particularly, when on a lateral slope go
slowly and carefully. For slim wheelchairs with low cambers, the risk for tipping is
particularly high. To reduce danger of tipping we recommend a wider lane, which can
be reached when using 3° cambers. Beware that these cambers will add to the external
width of your wheelchair. (10 mm per 1° on each side) in the lower area.
The following safety features should be checked before each and every trip.
 Regularly check pressure of tires on wheelchair. Air pressure of drive wheels on
wheelchair = guidelines provided by manufacturer.
For exact data and numbers, see information printed on built-in tires.
A too low air pressure increases risk to tip over, particularly in curves!
 Inspect all components, particularly all screws whether they sit tight. This especially
concerns the four cross tube screws of adapter unit. They need to be checked
diligently, and if necessary be tightened to prevent contortion. For exact numbers
regarding torque, see attached list.
 Check handlebar tube and pull tight if necessary.
 Make sure drive wheel has been aligned to the center of wheelchair. Wheel needs to
be exactly at the center, in the middle of drive lane of wheelchair. Diversions of up to 1
cm from the center are permitted. To be sure, this should be measured. A misaligned
drive wheel can lead to accidents if wheelchair is not heading straight. At the same
time, accidents may also result from increased risk to oscillate.
The save handling of a wheelchair/MySlave-tandem requires experience and training.
Especially for beginners, slow and careful driving is imperative.
At the beginning, avoid mountainous terrain and difficult roads until you are fully familiar
with how MySlave functions and operates.
