Locking the brakes To lock the electric travelling wheelchair always slide both levers for drive-/push mode into drive mode. It should not be possible to push the elec- tric travelling wheelchair forward when both brakes are locked. Do not switch to push mode while driving on slopes.
DRIVE-/PUSH MODE Only switch the electric travelling wheel- chair to push mode when it is standing still for positioning or in case of emergen- cies, but not on slopes/hills. After push mode do not forget to switch the drive back to drive mode. Otherwise there is the danger of your electric travel- ling wheelchair unintentionally rolling off.
OPERATING MODULE-FUNCTIONS Battery charging socket Do not insert other objects into the bat- tery charging socket. – Danger of short circuit! To charge the lithium ion batteries first switch off the operating module. Then in- sert the plug of the battery charger into the charging socket (1) on the front of the oper- ating module.
Battery voltage The battery indicator displays the battery voltage after the system test performed by the electronic system after the operating module has been switched on (3). Less LED segments of the battery gauge are lit as the battery voltage reduces. Battery gauge The battery gauge (3) displays the existing battery voltage as follows:...
Pre-selectable maximum speed Danger of accident due to unsuitable set- ting of the preselected speed! After switching on the operating module, the maximum speed setting will be the same as that selected before switching off. Preselect the maximum speed By pressing the keys (1) and (2) the pre-se- lectable final speed can be decreased or increased.
Joystick Only move the joystick when the battery indicator (2) shows a constant light. Drive and steering movement The electric travelling wheelchair is acceler- ated and braked with the joystick (1). Move the joystick slowly in the desired driving di- rection.
Keys and symbols ON / OFF Switches the operating module on or off when pressing the key. ☞ The electronic will conduct a system test when switched on. ☞ Do not motion the joystick during this time. Horn A signal sounds for as long as the key is pressed. Max.
SELECTING THE OPERATION In order to obtain operational readiness of the electric travelling wheelchair the follow- ing directions are to be carried out in the indicated order. Unfold the electric travelling wheel- chair if applicable. 2. Before first use, charge the drive batter- ies completely through the operating module [1].
6. Switch the operating module on. Press the On/Off-key (5) on the control panel of the operating module. ☞ Therefore observe chapter Switch- ing the operating module on on page 15. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS Before starting to drive, the following should be checked: The technical condition of the electric travelling wheelchair.
Battery charging procedure Do not insert any objects other than the battery charger plug into the battery charging socket. – Danger of short circuit! Use only the included lithium charge to charge the lithium ion batteries. The guarantee is only preserved to its full extent when the included battery charg- er, supplied by us is used.
Page 23
Secure the electric travelling wheel- chair. ☞ Therefore observe chapter Securing the electric travelling wheelchair on page 12. 2. If applicable insert the main plug (2). ☞ The charging procedure is only pos- sible with inserted battery plug (2). Insert the plug of the charger into an expertly installed power outlet.
CALF BELT Do not drive without the calf belt. – Dan- ger of accidents. The removable calf belt (1) prevents the feet from sliding off the back of the footboard. Removing the calf belt To remove the calf belt, open the velcro fas- tener.
BACK SUPPORT BELT Fitting the back belt The overlapping of the Velcro fastener has to be at least 10 cm! The tension of the back support is adjust- able. Pull off the flap of the back support and fold it to the front [1]. 2.
Removing the back support upholstery For removal, first pull off the rear part of the back support upholstery, then fold it over to the front [1] and pull it off of the adjustable back strap (2) [3]. Placing the back support upholstery For applying, place the back support up- holstery centred around the upper back...

4. Switch to push mode [5]. Operate the cable pull (6) and fold the electric travelling wheelchair together toward the front [7]. ☞ The parts that might have been de- tached for the transport must be care- fully stowed and carefully attached again before the next journey! 6.
Unfolding If applicable open the folding fixation. 2. Pull the folded electric travelling wheel- chair backwards while lifting and in this way raise it up again [1]. ☞ The locking device of the cord pull (2) has to engage audibly. Check the function of the locking de- vice.
Page 32
6. Fold the footboard down [6]. Swivel the folding lock outwards (7).
BATTERY PACK Optionally the electric travelling wheelchair can e equipped with two lithium ion bat- teries. The battery pack is removable [1]. Secure the electric travelling wheel- chair. ☞ For this observe chapter Securing the electric travelling wheelchair on page 12. 2.
Wheelchair transport with lithium Transport of lithium ion batteries ion batteries Protect the lithium ion batteries so that neither moisture nor foreign objects (e.g. Protect lithium ion batteries from temper- small metal parts, nails or other conduc- atures outside of the approved tempera- tive materials) can get into the gaps of the ture range for transport as well as storage.
Page 35
☞ Therefore view chapter Further technical data for model 1.054 on page 49. Should the rare case of overheating or a fire in the lithium ion battery occur, the battery manufacturer recommends plen- ty of water or sand for extinguishing. Use only the included lithium charge to charge the lithium ion batteries.
RETAINING STRAP The retrospective assembly of a retaining strap is only to be carried out by a special- ist workshop! The retaining strap [1] serves to hold a person sitting inside the electric travelling wheelchair in place. – Additional stabilisation of the sitting position.
