Parallel Swing Away Arm - Sunrise Medical F45 F45 Owner's Manual

Parallel Swing Away Arm

Before adjusting the swing-away arm,
switch off the controller to avoid
accidental displacement of the
joystick which would cause unwanted
movement of your wheelchair.
Gently apply pressure to the side of the
controller nearest the user and as close as
possible to the front of the controller.
The controller will move outward and then
backward before reaching its fully back
position.
Keep your fingers and clothing, etc.,
clear while operating the swing-away
mechanism.
If required, your wheelchair can be
operated with the swing-away mechanism
in its fully back position, but only for slow
manoeuvering such as positioning the
wheelchair closer to table tops, etc.
To revert to the normal driving position,
switch off the power and pull the arm
outwards and then forwards before
returning the arm to its 'home' position.
Make sure the controller is fully engaged in
its home position before switching on and
operating the wheelchair in the normal
manner.
Caution
Do not hang any items on or over the
parallel swing-away remote assembly
as this could damage the swing-away
mechanism.
When transferring to and from the
wheelchair do not use the remote as a
means of support.
Warning
Keep fingers, clothing, etc., clear of
the swing-away mechanism at all
times.
Ensure the power is switched off while
adjusting the parallel swing-away arm.
Only operate the wheelchair at low
manoeuvring speed when the parallel
swing-away is in use.
