Warning!
It is advised to select a low driving profi le
when driving indoors, on pavements and in
pedestrian areas.
Take extra care when driving at higher
speeds.
Do not drive off obstacles higher than 50
mm.
Overcome obstacles only by driving
backwards, if possible.
Do not attach any weights to the power
assist system or wheelchair frame without
the approval of a qualifi ed specialist. This
may negatively aff ect the stability of the
product.
It is advised to use fully charged batteries
when driving up a slope (less charged
batteries can supply less power than fully
charged batteries). For taking slopes at least
2 LEDs of the battery indicator should be on.
Never use the Drive rims when driving up or
down a slope (only drive up/down a slope
using the Assist rims) and only in case you
would feel comfortable doing so (even) with a
manual wheelchair without power assist.
Take special care when driving down
slopes of any kind. Adjust your speed to
maintain safe control. If the speed exceeds
approximately 10 km/h, the power assist will
enable the 'braking on the motor' feature to
limit the speed increase for safety reasons.
As this may not happen simultaneously on
both wheels we always recommend to keep
permanent contact with the hand rims when
driving downhill.
When descending with fully charged
batteries at a too high speed, the power
assist will switch- off automatically to avoid
malfunctioning due to overvoltage (see
paragraph 4.9). The wheels still can be
used manually, but power assistance is not
available anymore.
Beware that each power assist wheel is
about 2 cm wider than a standard manual
wheel; be careful taking narrow doors and
hallways.

3.5 Software adjustment options

The electronics of the power assist are
programmed to an average usage/driving
profi le – several parameters are available
that can be adjusted to infl uence the driving
behaviour. Please contact your dealer about
possible adjustments.
Warning!
Only an authorized person is allowed to
make any adjustments and program the
power assist.
