Putting Into Operation; Switching On; Drive Function - Otto Bock A 200 Instructions For Use Manual

If necessary the footrests can also be removed completely (see section 7.5).
With the assistance of an attendant or by means of a transfer lifter, the user can get into or out of the wheelchair
from the front. Use of a rotation plate is also possible.

10 Putting into Operation

The wheelchair control can be adapted to your personal requirements. Please contact your trained dealer who
will carry out the programming.
Prior to putting into operation, the battery cable must be plugged into the contact strip.

10.1 Switching On

Press button 1 to switch on the wheelchair control. The indicator 2 shows the remaining battery capacity. The
indicator 6 will show 1-5 lit LEDs depending on the selected speed level. When the speed level indicator flashes
or the LEDs continually light up one after another, this means a system error has occurred. When the control
unit is not used for 10 minutes, the wheelchair is switched off automatically. The control can be switched off at
any time; if this occurs whilst driving the wheelchair will be braked immediately.

10.2 Drive Function

When switching on the wheelchair, it will be set at the speed level that was last used prior to switching the sys-
tem off. Button 4 is used to increase the speed level and button 5 to reduce it. For driving use the joystick (7).
The further the joystick is moved away from the mid-position, the faster the A200 will drive in this direction. The
maximum speed with full deflection of the joystick is dependent on the selected speed level. The characteristics
for speed, acceleration and deceleration can be adapted by the trained dealer to meet the individual user's
requirements.
As soon as the joystick is released, the wheelchair is braked automatically until it stops moving. When standing
still, the mechanical brakes are automatically active so the A200 cannot move.
For safety reasons when there is nobody sitting in the wheelchair or the driving function is not required, the wheel-
chair control should be switched off, to prevent uncontrolled driving through accidental joystick manipulation.
