IV. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The OUTCHAIR is a compact, all-terrain electric wheelchair. Very efficient and equipped with great mounting capacities, it is ideal for outdoor excursions: paving stones, gravel, roads, paths, forests, sand and snow… It will accompany you everywhere in your urban travels, your nature outings or sporting activities.
The OUTCHAIR’s principal components: Backrest Head rest Joystick Backrest release Armrests Lumbar adjustment Seat Backrest angle adjustment Motor clutch Footrests 4 motorised wheels Fig. 1 V. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE DANGER ! Risk of injury from improper transport! DANGER ! Under no circumstances should the OUTCHAIR be used as a seat while it is being transported.
The OUTCHAIR must be strapped to the wheelchair anchor points (Fig. 2 and 3) on the trailer or the transport vehicle by adding front and or rear protections. The joystick must be off and the engine brakes locked. Fig. 2 Fig.
6.2. INITIAL CHARGING AND SETUP Before use, recharge the batteries with the charger supplied. Plug the power cable into the front of the joystick for at least 5 hours. The batteries are sufficiently charged when the LEDs are green. See details in chapter 7.10 Battery and charging. VII.
The “PROFILE” button provides access to the “Exterior” and “Flexible exterior” driving profiles. These profiles are to be used in all situations, except when crossing one-off obstacles. The profiles allow a maximum speed of 10 km / h when the selected speed is at maximum and acceleration is programmed to be autonomous, as described in the technical characteristics.
The “Crossing” profile allows you to surmount obstacles of up to 15 cm in length, moving forward at low speeds, because it is programmed for torque and instantaneous power (powerful acceleration). • It is recommended to use the “Steering lock” function when driving straight forward. (See chapter 8.3.
Fig. 4 Fig. 5 7.4. MANUAL MOVEMENT OUTCHAIR motors are equipped with magnetic brakes to secure the static position. They are activated automatically when the controller is in neutral or is off. To manually move the OUTCHAIR, you must disengage the brakes, located at the rear of each engine.
7.5.2. DRIVING POSITION For normal use on flat terrain, uphill and when crossing obstacles, the seat must be positioned as parallel, and the backrest as perpendicular to the ground as possible. When going downhill, tilt the seat back 10° to the ground and the backrest 20° back from the vertical.
7.5.6. SHOCK-ABSORBERS The A5RR1 shocks are adjusted via two MTB type valves. The upper valve (MP) must be set between 100 and 150 PSI (never in excess of 180 PSI), this is the main pressure dampening that adjusts the sag of the shock absorber. The lower valve (NP) must be se between 65 and 100 PSI and must not exceed the main pressure, it is the secondary pressure that manages the rebound of the dampening.
7.5.7. TYRE PRESSURE The tyre pressure must be adjusted according to the terrain. Off-road (bumpy terrain, irregularities, fields, paths, mud, sand, snow...) it is recommended to maintain a low tyre pressure (between 0.4 and 0.5 bar), this provides a greater comfort. Less inflated tires provide better traction in mud, sand and snow.
7.6. TRANSFERING INTO THE CHAIR DANGER ! Switch off the joystick (lights off), and ensure that the engine brakes are engaged. • The retractable armrests of the chair allow lateral transfer to remove the armrest, loosen the adjustment knob (Fig. 8). •...
7.7. POWERING ON AND OFF DANGER ! Danger of death from faulty engine brake operation. When using the OUTCHAIR, the engine brakes must be engaged and in working order. 7.7.1. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROTECTION The chair’s electronic motor control system is equipped with a current controller which prevents damage to circuits in the event of an overload.
7.7.4. POWERING OFF • Turn off the joystick • The engine brakes must be engaged so that the wheelchair does not move. • Do not leave the wheelchair stationary with flat batteries, this could affect the autonomy of the wheelchair. 7.8.
