4.5 Driving behaviour
You determine the speed and the travel
direction through the movement of the
joystick (Fig. 10/
). You can preset the
maximum speed of your wheelchair.
Attention:
Drive especially carefully during the
!
first journeys!
Do this by setting the pre-selected
speed to the lowest level.
4.5.1 Safety information
Attention:
Comply with the contents of the op-
!
erating manual for CONTROL UNITS
and the 'Safety information for elec-
tric vehicles' brochure!
– Do not pull out the security plug whilst
still in motion. A switch-off will then
cause an abrupt braking of the wheel-
chair.
– Comply with the max. permitted ris-
ing gradient value specified in the
'Technical data' section.
– Start off slowly. Carry out a short brak-
ing and steering test after starting
off.

– Lean the upper body forwards when
crossing an obstacle.
– Avoid jerky adjustments to driving
status when negotiating hills, trans-
verse slopes and obstacles.
– Do not get into/out of the wheelchair
unless it is switched off and the se-
lection lever has been set to drive
mode!
An unintentional contact with the
joystick can otherwise cause an un-
controlled movement of the wheel-
chair! – Danger of accidents!
– For safety reasons, use mobile tele-
phones or other radio devices only
with a switched-off wheelchair.
4.6 Brakes
Attention:
Have the brakes repaired immediate-
!
ly by an authorised dealer if they work
one-sided or if the braking effect is
reduced.
– Comply with the contents of the
'Safety information fore electric vehicles'
brochure!
4.6.1 Driving brake
The motor works electrically as a driving
brake and decelerates the wheelchair
softly and jerk-free to a standstill.
4.6.2 Parking brake
The parking brakes only work when the
selection lever is in the drive mode posi-
tion. They disengage automatically when
the wheelchair starts off. They are dis-
engaged manually by moving the se-
lection lever to the push mode position.
