Selecting The Drive Levels; Cruise Control; Functions Of The Display - Sunrise Medical Empulse F55 Directions For Use Manual

NOTE:
• Driving at full throttle for long periods of time can mean
that the motor is subject to extreme thermal load. In
order to avoid overheating, the power will be restricted
until the motor reaches a normal operating temperature
again.

6.5. Selecting the drive levels

• Different drive levels (1, 2, 3) can be selected using the
display, these determine the max. achievable speed in
that particular Drive level.
• The drive levels can be selected using the "+" and "-"
buttons on the display. The selected drive level will be
shown in the top right of the display.
NOTE:
• The max. speed and max. motor performance will only
be achieved in drive level 3.

6.6. Cruise control

• By using the yellow pushbutton
(A) which is integrated into the
housing of the direction control
switch, the current speed of the
pulling device can be
maintained (cruise control)
without having to hold the
throttle.
• Accelerate the pulling device to
the required speed and then
press the yellow pushbutton.
The pulling device will now hold
that speed, even if you let go of
the throttle.
• By pressing the pushbutton again or activating the
brake (both mechanical and also the electrical brake),
the cruise control will be deactivated immediately.
• When the cruise control is activated, it is not possible
to accelerate using the throttle, to do this you will need
to deactivate the cruise control.
DANGER!
• The cruise control can only maintain the set speed in
terms of available motor power. If you are going up a
slope with the cruise control activated, the speed may
go down.
• When going downhill with the cruise control activated, it
will attempt to maintain the set speed with the aid of the
electrical motor brake. At the point when the slope is
too steep and the electrical brake is no longer sufficient,
the speed will increase. If necessary, you will need to
activate the mechanical brake in order to maintain the
required speed.

DANGER!
• Familiarise yourself with how the cruise control works
before you use it. Practice activation/deactivation at low
speeds.
• Even with the cruise control activated, you need to be
constantly attentive and be ready to brake.
• Pay particular attention to your speed when going
downhill with the cruise control activated. Control the
speed manually if necessary using the mechanical
brake (risk of injury).
NOTE:
• If you do not use your pulling device for long periods of
time, we recommend that you switch your pulling
device on every 4 weeks and allow the wheel to rotate
for approx. 5 minutes at low speed in order to
guarantee that the grease that is there is distributed
over all bearing positions, this will prevent corrosion of
the bearings.
