Controller Settings/Repair or Service

Set‐up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed only by a qualified technician.
The final adjustments of the controller may affect other activities of the wheelchair.

Wheelchairs should be examined during maintenance for signs of corrosion (water
exposure, incontinence, etc.). Electrical components damaged by corrosion should be
replaced IMMEDIATELY.
Wheelchairs that are used by incontinent users and/or are frequently exposed to water
may require replacement of electrical components more frequently.

persons fully conversant with this process and the driverʹs capabilities. Incorrect settings
