Page 15: Safe Driving Techniques
Safe driving techniques Driving your Chair Before transferring to your chair from either the front or the side ensure that: The chair is switched off. The wheel locks are engaged. Swing away the armrests and legrests if appropriate. The battery charger is disconnected from both the chair and the mains. After transferring make sure that you are comfortably positioned and that the legrests and armrests have been adjusted to suit your needs. - Page 16 Safe Driving Never drive at a speed greater than your ability to safely control your chair. Remember that wet or loose surfaces need greater care and control. Always turn the chair off when transferring or while the chair is stationary for long periods.
- Page 17 Chair Response Should the chairs’ response not be to your satisfaction, ask your Dealer to adjust the programme to a level at which you are comfortable. This programme can be altered at anytime to either increase the response rates in line with your improved motor skills or to lower the rates to level at which you feel comfortable and in control.

- Page 22 Tyre and Tube You should check the pneumatic tyres air pressure at least once per week. This will prolong the life of your tyres as well as help ensure the perfect operation of your chair. If you should have a flat tyre, you should replace the tube. Replacement tyres and tubes are readily available at the dealer shop where you purchased your C650PW.
- Page 23 Maintenance, Cleaning & Fault finding An electric wheelchair needs some basic attention to ensure it provides reliable service. We recommend that the user ensures that the power wheelchair is checked regularly for maintenance requirements and receives a thorough and annual maintenance check up. We recommend that the chair has at least one full service from an authorised dealer once a year.
- Page 24 Lightly oil axle pin, wheel axles and bearings once every three months. Keep rear wheel tyres at correct inflation levels to maximum 40 psi, (or 275 KPA), if use pneumatic tyre in front inflation levels to maximum 36 psi. Use only recommended batteries and have batteries changed only by Qualified Dealers.

The DCI function can be enabled and disabled. Additionally, the speed to which the chair reduces while in Speed Limit can also be set. OBCs have either normally closed or normally open Inhibit outputs. By setting the DCI Operation parameter to Normally Open, SHARK will swap the Normal and Inhibit values in the above table. - Page 103 Move the joystick in all directions and ensure that the wheels respond smoothly and in the correct direction. Release the joystick to neutral and listen for the click of the park brakes re-engaging. Turn off SHARK and remove the blocks from under the powerchair.
