DRIVING BEHAVIOR

Drive especially carefully during your
first journey!!
Bearing this in mind, set the pre-selecta-
ble final speed to the lowest setting.
Press the minus key [24] on the key field
of the control box (see 'Pre-operation
Checks').
! Attention:
Please observe the Safety Instruc-

You determine the speed and driving
direction yourself when driving through
the movement of the joystick [35] and
the maximum top speed setting of your
wheelchair.
When reversing with the joystick leaning

right turn.
A reversal of the steering direction is,
with certain manoeverabiltiy restrictions,
possible by reprogramming..

Negotiating curbs
Curbs can be negotiated with the
detachable curb aid Code 862.
Please observe the operating man-
ual which is supplied with Code

Braking the wheelchair
The wheelchair stops when you let go of
the joystick. Always ensure an adequate
braking distance when applying the
wheelchair brakes.

Remark:
Depending on the nature of the driving
surface and speed, the shortest braking
distance is:
approx. 1 m for the 6 km/h version
andmin. of 1.5 m for the 10 km/h ver-
sion.
For this reason, ensure that you brake
the wheelchair in good time when you
encounter other people or obstacles.
