7.8.3 Switching on and off

WARNING
Lack of brake functionality
Falling, tipping over, collision with persons or nearby objects due to lack of inspection
► Ensure that the brake release lever is in the driving position every time before you drive (see page 25).
► Check the control unit display to ensure that the brakes are operational and functional (see page 52).
WARNING
Defective safety functions
Falling, tipping over, collision with persons or nearby objects due to lack of inspection
► Before every use, ensure that the product and its safety functions are in safe and proper condition.
► Only use the product if all safety functions, e.g. the automatic brakes, are functional.
WARNING
Unexpected emergency stop
Falling, the user may fall out due to sudden emergency braking
► In the event of communication problems in the control device bus system or a power supply defect, the sys­
tem triggers an emergency stop and thus avoids uncontrolled functions.
► Note that this emergency stop in road traffic could lead to situations that are hazardous for you. Ensure that
the control device is maintained regularly (see page 49).
► Note that after every emergency stop, you have to turn the power wheelchair control device on again.
► If the driving function is still not available after turning the control device on again, pushing mode can be activ­
ated by releasing the brake (see page 25).
► Consult the qualified personnel promptly if the driving function is not available after restarting.
INFORMATION
In dangerous situations, the product can be turned off at any time using the on/off button. When the button is
pressed, the product brakes immediately and the electrical functions cease. Malfunctions such as an insufficient
supply of power to the controls are recognised by the software, triggering an emergency stop or reducing the
speed of the product. A warning signal will also sound.
• Pressing the [on/off] button (see page 18) turns the power wheelchair control unit on or off. The power wheel­
chair turns off automatically if the control unit has not been used for an extended period of time.
• The power wheelchair brakes automatically and comes to a stop if it is turned off with the [on/off] button while
being driven.
• Each time you switch on the control unit, it will be at the previously selected speed level.

7.8.4 Selecting the speed levels

• The power wheelchair has a programmable number of speed levels (delivery condition = 5 speed levels).
• Pressing the [Decrease Speed] button lowers the speed level.
• Pressing the [Increase Speed] button raises the speed level.
• The pitch of the audible signal changes once the highest or lowest speed level is reached.
• The [Selected speed level] LED display shows the speed level selected.
