2.1

Power module settings / Repair or service

● Set‐up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed only by a qualified technician. The final
adjustments of the power module may affect other activities of the wheelchair. Personal injury
or damage to the equipment could occur if improperly set‐up or adjusted.
● Wheelchairs should be examined during maintenance for signs of corrosion (by, for example,
liquid exposure). Electrical components damaged by corrosion should be replaced
IMMEDIATELY.
● Wheelchairs that are frequently exposed to liquids may require replacement of electrical
components more frequently.
2.2

Operation information

● Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or
persons fully conversant with this process and the driverʹs capabilities. Incorrect settings could
cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the chair and to surrounding property.
● After the wheelchair has been set‐up, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs to the
specifications entered during the set‐up procedure. If the wheelchair does not perform to
specifications, turn the wheelchair Off IMMEDIATELY and reenter set‐up specifications. Repeat
this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.
● DO NOT engage or disengage the motor release levers until the power is in the OFF position.
● Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service verify that On/Off switch on the
joystick is in the off position.
● Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious injury
or damage to property may result.
● ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
● NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair on an incline.
● DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of
any removable (detachable) parts of the wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage
to the wheelchair.
● Make sure the detent balls of the quick‐release pin of the footboard are fully released beyond
the outer edge of the tube before returning the wheelchair to the user. Otherwise, injury and/or
damage may result.
● Keep detent balls clean.
