HANDLING THE ELECTRIC BRAKES WHEELCHAIR Brake the electric wheelchair down care- fully and in time. This is especially the case Securing the electric wheelchair when driving in front of people and while driving downhill! The electric wheelchair is to be secured as Service brake follows to prevent it from rolling off unin- tentionally:...
Locking the brakes It should not be possible to push the elec- tric wheelchair forward when the brakes are engaged. To engage the brakes swivel the selection lever drive-/push mode on both sides as far as possible into drive mode [1]. ☞...
Drive-/push mode Only switch the electric wheelchair to push mode when it is standing still for positioning or in case of emergencies, but not on slopes/hills. ☞ The electric magnetic brakes are switched off in the push mode. – A braking of the electric wheelchair is then only possible by switching to the drive mode.
SELECTING THE OPERATION In order to obtain operational readiness of the electric wheelchair the following direc- tions are to be carried out in the indicated order. ☞ Charge the drive batteries via the oper- ating module before the first journey. Selecting the motor mode Switch the drive motors to the drive mode [1].
Page 21
Position of the operating module The maximum extension reached, when a mark becomes visible in the receptacle tube of the operating module. ☞ The operating module should be positioned in such a way that you can comfortably and safely steer the electric wheelchair.
Pre-operation checks Before starting to drive, the following should be checked: ☞ the battery charging condition, ☞ the setting of the preselected final speed. – For this observe the operating manual < Operating module >. Battery charging procedure Do not insert any objects other than the battery charger plug into the battery charging socket.
Positioning the operating module Switch off the operating module before adjusting/removing it. Function description You will find a detailed description of the keys and symbols in the operating manual for < Operating module >. The position of the operating module can be adjusted to suit the individual size of the user.
Swivelling the operating module Do not grab into the area of the cross brace. – Danger of squashing! With the optional swivel away operating module adapter [1] the operating module can be swivelled back to the side (2) so that it is located parallel to the arm support.
LEG SUPPORTS Before any actions on the leg supports the electric wheelchair is to be secured against unintentional rolling motions. ☞ Therefore observe chapter Securing the electric wheelchair on page 17. Calf belt Do not drive without the calf belt. – Dan- ger of accidents! The removable calf belt (1) prevents the feet from sliding off the back of the footplates.
Lower leg support For entry or exiting the footplates resp. foot- board is to be folded upward [1] + [2] or the central leg support [2] lowered to the floor. ☞ Check the locking points! Remove both feet from the footplates. 2.
Leg support upper part The upper leg support with an inserted lower leg support is termed leg support. Turning the leg supports to the side Leg supports turned to the side are re- leased automatically and can easily come off. Note this when handling (e.g. trans- port).
Swivelling in the leg supports For inward swivelling, let the leg supports swivel forward until the lock audibly engag- es [1]. ☞ After audibly swivelling the leg sup- ports inward check the respective lock- ing device. ☞ Afterwards observe chapter Lower leg support on page 26.
Removing the leg supports For easy transfer into and out of the electric wheelchair as well as a reduced wheelchair length (important for transport) the leg sup- ports can be removed [1]. ☞ Remove the calf belt before swivelling away the leg supports. ☞...
Mechanically height-adjustable leg supports Never put the free hand into the adjust- ment mechanism while adjusting the height adjustable leg support. – Danger of jamming! Do not let the leg support drop on its own weight. – Danger of injury! If necessary have an accompanying ☞...
Electrically height-adjustable leg support Never put the free hand into the adjust- ment mechanism while adjusting the height adjustable leg support. – Danger of jamming! The electrically height adjustable leg sup- port [1]+[2] automatically receives electric contact when hooked on. Height adjustment For height adjustment, raise or lower the leg support to the desired height via the oper-...
Removing the electrically height adjust- able leg support When the electrically height adjustable leg supports are removed the electric contact (3) needs to be protected from dampness, water and dust or dirt (e. g. for longer storage)! ☞ Possible function error of the electrical adjustment.
ARM SUPPORTS Do not use the arm supports [1] to lift or carry the electric wheelchair. Do not drive without the arm supports! Removing the arm support To remove the arm support, loosen the clamping screw (2) first and then pull out the arm support toward the top .
Illuminated clothes guard discs A selected lighting is still active after switching off the operating module. Activated lighting may not be used where the German road traffic regulations are valid. Activating/deactivating the lighting on the clothes guard discs When the arm supports are removed the electric contacts (2) need to be protect- ed from dampness, water and dust or dirt (e.
BACK SUPPORT The back support can be folded down for storage or transport. ☞ For better demonstration of the wire cable (1) the back support is shown without cushion. Folding down the back support ☞ If required remove the seat pad (velcro fastener).
Secure positions of the back support Any change to the seat inclination will lead to different safe back support adjust- ments! The diverse possible seat adjustments also includes such settings, that may only be used as resting positions, since they might lead to instable driving conditions in drive mode.
Adjustable back The adjustable back is adjustable through a velcro strap on the spanning straps (2). Removing the back support upholstery For removal, first pull off the rear part of the back support upholstery (1), then fold it over to the front and pull it off of the adjustable back strap (3).
