HANDLING OF THE ELEC-
TRONIC TRAVELLING
WHEELCHAIR
Securing the electronic travelling
wheelchair
The electronic travelling wheelchair is to be se-
cured as follows to prevent it from rolling off
unintentionally:
1.
.Switch the selection lever for drive-/push
mode inwards on both sides to drive mode.
2. Switch off the operating module.
Functional checks
The functions and safety of the electronic trav-
elling wheelchair must be checked before the
start of each journey.
☞ Therefore observe chapter Pre-operation
checks on page 14.
Driving
You define the speed and direction yourself
with the joystick movements (driving and
steering lever) while driving as well as the pre-
adjusted maximum final speed of your elec-
tronic travelling wheelchair.
BRAKES
Decelerate your electronic travelling wheel-
chair carefully and in good time. This is espe-
cially the case when driving in front of peo-
ple and while driving downhill!
Service brake
The motors work electrically as operating brake
and carefully decelerate the electronic travel-
ling wheelchair without jerks to stillstand.
Decelerating the electronic travelling
wheelchair
For allotted braking of the electronic travelling
wheelchair slowly guide the joystick (steering
and driving lever) back to the centre position
(zero-setting).
☞ The electronic travelling wheelchair stops
in shortest distance after releasing the joy-
sticks.
Parking brake
The parking brakes are only effective when the
selection lever drive-/push mode is set to drive
mode. They disengage automatically when the
wheelchair starts off.
The parking brakes are manually disengaged
by switching the selection lever drive-/push
mode to push mode.
Locking the brakes
It should not be possible to push the elec-
tronic travelling wheelchair forward when
both brakes are locked.
Do not switch to push mode while driving on
slopes.
To engage the brakes pull the selection lever
drive-/push mode on both sides as far as possi-
ble backward into drive mode [1 on page 39].
☞ Activation of the selection lever is intend-
ed for an accompanying person.
