„ The seat function actuators are not intended for con-
tinuous use, only for short-term operation under limited
loads (10 % use, 90 % idle time). As a guideline, 10
seconds of activation time under maximum load should
be followed by approx. 90 seconds of idle time. The
electric seat functions are considered independent of
the driving function for this purpose.
„ Overloading the actuators may cause the spindle nut
to break, causing the seat to sag or the backrest to flip
back. Observe the activation time guidelines specified
above.
„ The electric seat function may not be activated in case
of faults or malfunction.
INFORMATION
Bring the seat to a level position when getting into or out of
the power wheelchair.
