Driving Menu - Otto Bock SKIPPI User Instructions

11.1.9 Driving Menu

In the driving menu, the battery indicator and speed level
indicator are active.
When switching on the wheelchair, it will be set at the speed
level that was last used prior to switching the system off.
Pressing the mode button (M) shortly increases the speed
level. For driving, the joystick is used. The further the joystick
is moved away from the mid-position, the faster the Skippi will
drive in this direction. The maximum speed with full deflection
of the joystick is dependent on the selected speed level. The
number of speed levels as well as speed, acceleration and
deceleration settings can be adapted by the trained dealer
to meet the customer's individual requirements. Letting go
of the joystick automatically activates the brake function,
which brings the chair to a halt. When standing still, the
mechanical brakes are automatically active so the Skippi
cannot move.
To prevent uncontrolled driving through accidental joystick
manipulation, the wheelchair control must be switched off when
nobody is using it or the driving function is not required.
