A Note About Drive Lock-Out

WARNING
NEVER operate the wheelchair or elevate/lower the seat while in any tilted/reclined/back angle position over 20° relative to
the vertical position. If the drive lock-out does not stop the wheelchair from operating or the seat from elevating/lowering
in a tilt/recline/back angle position over 20° relative to vertical, DO NOT operate the wheelchair or elevate/lower the seat.
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, drive lock-out switch tilt system or recline system, tilt and 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 tilted 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.
*20° back angle can be any combination of recline, tilt, back angle and/or surface angle.

Refer to Typical Product Parameters on page 11 for tilt and/or recline angle ranges.
