HANDLING AND CARE BRAKES OF THE ELECTRIC Always brake in a careful and timely man- WHEELCHAIR ner, especially when driving toward peo- ple or going downhill! Securing the wheelchair Service brake The electric wheelchair must be secured as follows so that it does not accidentally roll: The electric motors work as a mechanical brake, stopping the wheelchair smoothly 1.
Activating the brakes The wheelchair should not be able to be pushed while the brakes are engaged. To apply the brakes, move the drive/push mode levers on both sides approximately 45° toward the wheelchair chassis and into the drive (upright) position [1]. ☞...
Main circuit breakers for all electrical functions As a standard feature, all TA Service wheel- chairs manufactured after 26/05/2021 come equipped with a main circuit breaker for all electrical functions, also known as a Flight kit [3]. Removing the key from the Flight kit allows you to interrupt the wheelchair’s power...
Drive/push mode The electric wheelchair should only be set on push mode or pushed for the sake of manoeuvring or in emergency situations. This should only be done on flat terrain, with the chair in a standstill position. ☞ In push mode, the electromagnetic brakes are deactivated.
Setting the chair on drive mode 1. Activate the brakes [2]. ☞ Follow the instructions in Activating the brakes on page 15. 2. Turn on the control module. ☞ See the ‘Control module’ chapter in the Operating manual. Now the electric wheelchair can be driven.
PREPARATION FOR USE Perform the following consecutive steps to prepare your electric wheelchair for use. ☞ Using the control module, charge the batteries before making your first trip. 1. Complete your preparations for driving. Move the levers into drive mode [1] to activate the motors.
Page 20
3. Check the position of the control mod- ule. ☞ For ordinary driving, move the control module forward and inward until it set- tles into the stop position [3]. 4. Turn on the control module. ☞ Depress the on/off button (4) on the control module.
Inspection before driving Before driving, you should inspect the fol- lowing: ☞ The charge level of the battery ☞ The configuration of the maximum speed setting – See the ‘Control module’ chapter in the Operating manual. Charging the battery Do not place any objects in the sock- et aside from the battery charger plug! –...
Page 22
3. Turn on the battery charger/plug the battery charger power cord into an ap- propriate socket. ☞ The charging process has now start- ☞ The battery will not charge if the ther- mal fuse is turned off (2)! 4. Once the charging process is complete, disconnect the battery charger from the mains and pull the charger plug out of the control module socket.
Position of the control module For ordinary driving, move the control mod- ule forward and inward [1]. Description of functions The push buttons and symbols on the mod- ule are all described in detail in the Operat- ing manual in the ‘Control module’ chapter. Swing the control module out to the side of the armrest.
LEG SUPPORTS Before transferring to the electric wheel- chair, it must be secured to prevent acci- dental movement. ☞ Follow the instructions in Securing the wheelchair on page 14. Centralised leg support To make it easier to climb in and out of the chair, the single footplate [1] or dual foot- plates [2] can be folded up [3]+[4].
Electronic height adjustment When using the leg support, keep your hands away from any movable parts. – Risk of a crushing injury! If you place your feet on the footplate be- fore the leg support has fully descended, there is a - Risk of a crushing injury! Make sure that the leg supports have ad- equate ground clearance! ☞...
Adjusting the footplate height When adjusting the height of the foot- plate(s), never touch or handle the adjust- ment mechanism or the underside of the footplate(s). – Risk of a crushing injury! Make sure that the leg support and the footplate(s) have adequate ground clear- ance! ☞...
Moving a leg support to the side The leg supports can be swung out to the sides to enable easier transfer to/from the electric wheelchair or to allow you to drive close to e.g. a cupboard, bed, bathtub or similar [1]. –...
Electronic adjustment of the leg support angle When using the leg support, keep your hands away from any movable parts. – Risk of a crushing injury! Use the control module to raise [1] or lower [2] the angle of the leg support to a suitable level.
ARMRESTS Avoid using the armrests [1] to carry or lift the wheelchair. Driving with the armrest in an upright or backwards position is dangerous [4]! Rocker armrests Folding up the armrests To fold up an armrest, depress the button lock (2). This allows the armrest to be guid- ed upwards [3].
The armrest’s locking feature Risk of a crushing injury when the armrest engages with the button lock! For drive mode, the armrests should be swung forward and down [1]. Checking the armrest’s locking feature Check that the locks are functional by brief- ly tugging on the armrest.
Swingable armrest When swinging the armrest back to the base position, keep your hands away from the surrounding area – Risk of a crushing injury! Swinging the armrest toward the chair 1. To swing the armrest in [2], loosen the tightening handle (1).
BACK SUPPORT Whenever you adjust the back support, always make sure that the electric wheel- chair is on a level surface. Otherwise, there is a risk that the wheelchair may flip over on an incline! Electronically adjustable back support The back support [1] can be adjusted elec- tronically.
Mechanically adjustable back support Angle adjustment via gas shocks The angle of the back support [1] is adjust- able [2]+[3]. 1. Pull down the gas shock’s locking lever (4) to adjust the angle of the back sup- port. 2. With the lever (4) in this unlocked po- sition, move the back support to the desired angle.
Manual back support configuration The angle of the back support is adjustable [1]+[2]. 1. Pull out the adjusting bolt (3) to config- ure the angle of the back support. 2. With the adjusting bolt (3) pulled out slightly, move the back support to the desired angle.
SEAT Seat cushions The seat cushion [1] is mounted to the baseplate with a Velcro band and is remov- able [2]. After cleaning or maintenance, put the seat cushion back on and secure it [1]. – Velcro fastening Adjusting seating comfort The air pressure can be adjusted for im- proved comfort by opening and closing the valves (3).
Seat rocker The seat rocker [4] should only be adjust- ed while the electric wheelchair is on a flat, horizontal surface. There is a risk that the wheelchair flips over on an incline. Move the leg support(s) into the base po- sition before adjusting the seat rocker.
Seat lift Before adjusting the seat height, make sure that the surrounding area is free of obstructions. – Risk of injury! Do not touch or come into contact with the bottom of the seat before or during seat height adjustment – Risk of a crush- ing injury! Adjustment of the seat lift must only be done with the wheelchair securely parked...
HEADREST The headrest is completely removable and both the height and angle are adjustable. Adjusting the headrest To adjust the height of the headrest or re- move it, loosen [2] the tightening handle (1). Use of the headrest in disability vehicles This headrest is approved for transport in motorised disability vehicles!
SAFETY BELT Make sure no objects get stuck under the belt! – This prevents unpleasant pressure points. Aftermarket installation of a seat belt must only be done by an authorised re- pair centre. The belt must not be used as a restraint system for securing either the user or the wheelchair during transport in a motor vehicle.
LIGHTS If used outdoors or on public roads, the electric wheelchair should be equipped with an LED lighting system (1)+(2). The lights can be operated via the control module. ☞ See the ‘Control module’ chapter in the Operating manual. ☞ If visibility is poor, especially in the dark, the lights should be turned on so that you can see better and are more easily seen.
TRANSFER AND TRANSPORT The electric wheelchair must not be lifted by its back support, leg supports, armrest or upholstery! Keep the seat height and seat tilt in the base position during transport! Always turn the electric wheelchair off before lifting it! Loading/unloading Any parts that have been dismantled for loading should be stored in a safe place...
