Protocol of the handover briefing
Due to the flexible options available for setting up your electric wheelchair, you must observe the following
points:
Where there is tilt:
›
It should be ensured that the seat is not leaning out too far to the front or back, as this may mean
you might slip out of the seat.
›
The tilting is set suitably for your body weight.
›
First set tilt, and then set the back support.
›
Where using tilting always wear your safety belt.
›
Where using tilting travel only at half the speed of the selected driving level.
Seat and back support in the special orthopaedic seat:
›
Adjust the back support only as far as absolutely necessary as the motor does not have the power to lift
the weight of the driver. Use the tilt function first.
›
Be careful of other components (the backpack, etc.) when adjusting the back support and tilting.
Lifting arm:
›
Ensure head and leg clearance when lifting and lowering the seat. Foot rests should not come into contact
with the ground.
›
With the seat left extended more than about 100mm the electric wheelchair will move at only half speed.
