A Note About Drive Lock-Out

WARNING
NEVER operate the wheelchair while the back is in any reclined/back angle position over 20° relative to the vertical
position. If the drive lock-out does not stop the wheelchair from operating in a recline/back angle position over 20° relative
to the vertical position, DO NOT operate the wheelchair. DO NOT attempt to adjust the drive lock-out. Have the
wheelchair serviced by a qualified technician.
The wheelchair user MUST have a clear line of sight to drive safely. On initial chair delivery and after adjusting the back
angle or drive lock-out switch, recline the seat back to the farthest driving position immediately before drive lock-out
engages and ensure there is a clear line of sight present in which to drive the wheelchair. If a clear line of sight is not
present, have the back angle repositioned or readjust the lockout angle such that safe driving with a clear line of sight is
achieved. Otherwise injury or damage may occur.
One of the following will occur when the drive lock-out feature has been activated:
• CMPJ™+ Joysticks Only -
• SPJ™+ Joysticks Only - Left to right chase alternating with a steady display.
Drive lock-out is a feature designed to prevent the wheelchair from being driven after the seating system has been reclined beyond 20°* relative to
the vertical position. The back can be positioned at a 10° relative offset to the seat base, thereby resulting in a back angle potential of 30° before which
the drive lock-out is activated. This may affect the wheelchair user's line of sight while driving. Make sure the wheelchair user can see properly to
ensure safe driving.
