INFORMATION
The control unit of the product switches to a safe mode at elevated temperatures and after driving uphill for exten
ded periods of time, limiting the performance of the product.
The user is able to drive the product out of a hazardous situation at any time. After a short time, the product is fully
operational again.
The power wheelchair is controlled by moving the joystick:
•
The further the joystick is deflected from the centre position, the faster the power wheelchair will drive in this
direction.
•
The maximum speed at full deflection of the joystick depends on the selected speed level.
•
Releasing the joystick automatically activates the brake function, bringing the power wheelchair to a halt.
The mechanical brakes are activated automatically when the power wheelchair comes to a stop so that it cannot
roll.

The anti-tipper makes driving safer (see fig. 27). With
rear-wheel drive, it prevents the wheelchair from tipping
too far backward.
The anti-tipper is mounted so that the ground clearance
is at least 50 mm.
The swing-away, spring-loaded anti-tipper rollers stabil
ise the front-wheel drive power wheelchair when brak
ing while driving downhill.
They swing back when driving against a curb,
for example.
The anti-tipper is mounted so that the ground clearance
is at least 50 mm.
