Operation
6.3.8 Steering Lock
INFORMATION
The steering lock can be activated in the manner descri-
bed below if the "Steering Lock" parameter is set to "On".
The steering lock parameter is set to "Off" by default. The
factory setting may also have been set to "On" by the spe-
cialist dealer or at the factory according to the order.
Please ask your specialist dealer about the setting se-
lected for your wheelchair.
The enAble50 control unit in the power wheelchair may be
programmed with the optional "Steering Lock" parameter.
If the steering lock is activated, the caster wheels or the
drive wheels (depending on the type) are set straight ahead.
This makes it easier to negotiate narrow ramps and to use
elevators.
„ When the joystick is deflected forward, the power
wheelchair drives straight ahead.
„ When the joystick is deflected backward, the power
wheelchair drives straight back.
„ Turning is not possible when the steering lock is activa-
ted.
„ The warning flasher lights flash when the steering lock
is activated (standard programming).
