1.4 Safety
Carefully read the following safety instructions before installing, using, transporting,
storing or maintaining the UNAwheel Mini and its adapters.
1.5 Use
•Before use, check all connections, battery level, brake function of the UNAwheel
and wheelchair parking brakes, display, and the central adapter. Never travel
when anything listed above is not working correctly.
•Make sure the brakes are working correctly before using the product on a slope.
•Risk of toppling! Your wheelchair with connected UNAwheel represents a three-
wheeled means of transport. When turning corners, crossing obstacles and
travelling perpendicular to slopes a three-wheel vehicle tends to tip over more
easily than a four-wheel vehicle. Adjust your driving behaviour and your speed
accordingly.
•Turn corners only at low speeds adapted to the driving conditions in order to
avoid toppling the wheelchair and UNAwheel.
•Become familiar with the product on level ground before using it on a slope. This
prevents potentially dangerous situations such as toppling and collision.
•Never go perpendicular to slopes, cross obstacles only in forward direction.
•Do not drive faster than 6 km/h (4 mph) on public roads.
•Do not use the product without assistance on slopes.
•Do not use product while going downhill or uphill if battery level is less than 50%.
•The product is splash-proof, but not waterproof. Do not use the product during
rain and avoid mud and puddles.
•In the (unlikely) event of the battery pack overheating or catching on re, you
must ensure that the battery pack does not come into contact with water or other
liquids. The only suitable extinguishing agent that is recommended by the battery
manufacturers is sand.
•The wheelchair user must decide in each case whether it is safe to travel the
intended trip based on factors such as driving experience and physical strength.
Particular importance in or near the following hazardous areas, the navigation of
which is left to the judgement and risk of the UNAwheel user:
–Quay walls, berths and marinas, paths and areas near water, bridges and dykes
without railings
–Narrow footpaths, gradients (e.g. ramps and driveways), narrow paths along
slopes, mountain paths
8
–Narrow and/or steep/inclined paths along main and side roads or near
precipices
–Paths covered with leaves, snow or ice
–Ramps and lifting equipment on vehicles.
•The product’s maximum load is 100 kg or 220lbs (incl. a wheelchair).
•Do not use the product at temperatures colder than -5ºC (23°F) or warmer than
40ºC (104°F).
•The product’s driving characteristics can be inuenced by electromagnetic elds
as emitted by mobile phones or other radiating devices.
•If you have any metal constructions in your spinal cord use product cautiously.
•When the UNAwheel is switched on, never reach into the wheels of your
wheelchair
•Distance between user’s body and handlebar, when it’s in max turned position,
should be no less than 5 cm (2”).
•Distance between user’s legs and adapter, should be no less than 1 cm (1/2”).
•Do not use the product on slippery surfaces or on coarse ground such as gravel.
•Traverse obstacles (such as kerbs) in forwards travel only. The maximum
permitted obstacle height is 3 cm (1.5 inch). Travel slowly and carefully forwards
until the wheels of your UNAwheel come into contact with the obstacle and then
carefully travel over the obstacle. You may require the help of another person.
•Switch o the product and apply the brakes when on an elevator, lifting platform,
when attach and detach.
•You must not use the UNAwheel on escalators or moving walkways.
•Do not throw or drop the product.
•Never leave the UNAwheel unattended, even if it is switched o.
•Especially when device is not in use, do not expose your UNAwheel to strong
sunlight for long periods of time, if possible. This could cause the motor and
battery to heat up and in an extreme case, not be able to operate. Plastic parts
also age quicker under intense sunlight. In the event of overheating caused by
sunlight or excessive use: leave the UNAwheel until it has cooled down.
•If used intensively, the motor and the central tube can heat up. Do not touch
these parts (risk of burning). Leave the UNAwheel until it has cooled down. Heat
can also cause oil or grease to escape at various points.
•The UNAwheel is only intended for transporting persons with limited mobility
and must not be misused, for example by children playing with it or as a drive for
transporting mobile goods.
•The maximum speed allowed on public roads depends on local trac regulations.
•Speed above 6 km/h (3.7 mph) may only be driven on private property.
•The product can generate electromagnetic elds that might cause interference in
other devices. For this reason, switch o the product when it is not in use.
•If you hear unusual noises or notice unusual vibrations during travel, it is possible
that parts of the UNAwheel or wheelchair have become loose. It is also possible
that foreign matter has entered the device during travel. In these cases, contact
your specialist dealer.

2 The UNAwheel
2.1 Description
The UNAwheel Mini is a wheelchair power add-on that provides wheelchair users with
an easy-to-use power boost. It is designed for people who are unable to walk but who
are able to independently move in a wheelchair. Thanks to its quick and easy adjustment
possibilities for standard ttings and its modular design, the UNAwheel Mini can be used
by patients with a wide variety of walking impediments.
The UNAwheel Mini is the lightest power add-on on the market. Despite its portable size,
it is powerful enough to drive its users around both indoors and outdoors.
The UNAwheel Mini features two adapters, which allow it to be connected to both Basic
and Active wheelchair types (gure 1).
