Owner´s manual Chairman Safety instructions
Operating the seat lift
Ensure that nothing is caught between the chassis and the seat when the seat lift is
operated. Raising the seat lift raises the center of gravity and increases the risk of tipping.
.
Therefore, you should only use the seat lift on level ground and not on hilly ground
Driving on inclined surfaces
Observe extreme caution when driving on a surface inclined at an angle of greater than 6°.
Driving on loose or soft surfaces
When the chair is set to the lowest speed, and the batteries are not fully
charged, driving on certain surfaces, such as gravel, sand and thick carpets, may result
in restricted movement.
Getting into and out of the chair
The wheelchair must always be switched off and the brakes on / engaged when getting into
and out of the chair.
Releasing the brakes
In order to avoid the wheelchair rolling away, ensure that the wheelchair is on a level and
dry base before releasing the brakes.
Charging the batteries
The batteries must be charged in a well-ventilated room, not in a closet. Do not charge
the batteries in a bathroom or wet room. Use only chargers with a
maximum 10 A charging current (mean value). When the charger is connected, the chair
must not and cannot be driven.
Transport
Ensure that the wheelchair is properly secured (see page 31). If the chair is not properly
secured and comes loose, it can cause serious injury to persons in the vehicle and serious
damage to the vehicle.
Servicing
Servicing and maintenance by the user should be restricted to tasks designated as sui-
table for home servicing in the instruction book. All other servicing and maintenance tasks
must be carried out by persons with sufficient knowledge to ensure a competent result.
When working on the wheelchair's electrical system, the connection to the
positive pole on the battery must always be removed.
Take care with metal objects when working on the batteries. A short circuit could easily
cause an explosion. Always wear protective gloves and goggles.
Make sure nothing is trapped between the chair chassis and the seat when
operating the seat lift.
Recommended air pressure is 29 psi. Over-inflation could cause an explosion.
The seat is heavy and must be handled with care to avoid personal injury.
