6.3.2 Switching On and Off

WARNING
Danger to life if the brake fails to function. The brake
release lever must be locked when using the power wheel-
chair. The automatic brakes must be operational and
functional.
CAUTION
Risk of accident as a result of a wrong tyre pressure.
The power wheelchair must be visually checked every
time before it is used to make sure that the tread depth is
sufficient and that the tyres are inflated to the correct tyre
pressure. Incorrect tyre pressure reduces the tyres' serv-
ice life and makes the wheelchair's driving behaviour
worse.
The control panel of the power wheelchair is turned on or off
by pressing the On/Off key (see fig. 14, item 6). If the con-
trol panel is not used for an extended period of time, the
wheelchair turns off automatically. It is also possible to
switch off the power wheelchair with the on/off key during
driving. In this case, the wheelchair brakes immediately until
it stops.
