Performance Checks - Quickie Salsa Instructions For Use Manual

12.16 Performance checks

After performing any maintenance or repairs on the
wheelchair you must make sure that it is functioning
correctly before it is used.
• Visually inspect the wheelchair to make sure the
legrests, armrests etc are correctly positioned and
attached to the wheelchair and all fasteners are
sufficiently tightened.
• Make sure that the backrest is correctly fitted and
adjusted.
• Make sure that all of the cushions are in place
• Switch on the hand control – Do the lights flash? This
signifies that there is a fault in the electronic system.
Refer to section 8 for basic troubleshooting.
• Perform the parking brake check.
• Operate all of the electric options, including lights
and indicators (if fitted) to make sure that they work
correctly.
• With the seating in an elevated position, drive the
wheelchair to make sure that the 'creep' mode works
which will slow the wheelchair.
• Drive the wheelchair in each of the drive profiles to
make sure the wheelchair performs as it did before.
