Foreword
Dear reader,
These Operating Instructions serve to provide all information required
for the safe use of the EasyPull.
The EasyPull is designed and constructed in accordance with state-
of-the-art technology and recognised safety standards. Persons and
materials can however be endangered, as not all danger areas can
be eliminated if the functional capability is to be maintained. Accidents
caused by these dangers can however be prevented by strictly ob-
serving these Operating Instructions. Over and above this, the opera-
tional efficiency of your EasyPull can be used to the full and unneces-
sary faults can be prevented.
After reading these Operating Instructions for the first time, keep them
in a safe place for future reference over the entire lifetime of the Easy-
Pull. If you sell the EasyPull, hand these Operating Instructions over to
the new owner.
All details, figures and dimensions contained in these Operating In-
structions are non-binding. They cannot be used as the basis for any
claims whatsoever.
This document must not be reproduced or duplicated,
in full or in part, without the prior, written permission of the manufac-
turer.
The EasyPull must be converted or modified in any way, without see-
king the prior, written permission of the manufacturer. The manufac-
turer will not be held responsible in any way whatsoever if conversions
or modifications are carried out without authorisation.
Use only original spare parts or spare parts which have been appro-
ved of by the manufacturer. If spare parts other than these are used,
this can have a negative effect on the specified characteristics, the
functionality and safety of the EasyPull. Using non-original or unautho-
rised spare parts will render the guarantee null and void.
Contact our customer services department to order spare parts or
accessories (see Chapter 12, page 46).

les that are specifically designed or converted to transport disabled
persons. The vehicle must be fitted with an access ramp for this pur-
pose. The EasyPull only secures the front of the wheelchair. For trans-
portation, the wheelchair must be secured with additional belts at the
rear. The passenger in the wheelchair must wear a safety belt.
Proper use also includes strict adherence to the information given in
these Operating Instructions.
