BATTERY STORAGE
If you no longer use your wheelchair, you could leave it connected to the battery charger. Charging is
automatically controlled by the battery charger. If you remove and store the batteries, kindly note the
following:
•
Remove the cable clamps from the poles of the battery.
•
The positive pole must at least be covered by a pole cap.
•
Make sure that no objects make contact with both poles during the time of storage (danger of
short circuits!).
•
Batteries should only be stored in dry, well-ventilated spaces at a temperature between 0°C and
+40°C.
•
Keep the batteries in the battery boxes for protection against damp or other external influences.
•
Protect the plugs and sockets of the battery boxes against corrosion.
•
Protect the batteries against deep discharging (see the chapter on battery charging).
If you have further questions, consult your specialist dealer who will gladly help you in regard to
storage and servicing of your batteries.
L
If batteries are not used, they can discharge fully.
THERMAL SAFETY MECHANISM
To protect the motor against overload, on the right side of the seat frame there is a thermal safety
mechanism (transition to back frame) that will automatically cut the motor to prevent overheating and
thus rapid wear and tear or breakdowns. This can occur if you go up or down slopes that exceed the
maximum gradient indicated. Nominal loads exceeding the maximum could also trigger the safety
mechanism. If you try to drive with the brakes on, it could also result in overload. The maximum values
not to exceed are indicated in the chapter on "Technical Details". To be able to use the scooter again,
remove the overload and wait till the motor has cooled off, and then gently press in the thermal safety
mechanism again. Your scooter is now ready for use again.
PARKING BRAKES
In addition to electromagnetic braking, your electric wheelchair could also be equipped with fixed
braking for each driving wheel. These must then be set for all the wheels.
When pneumatic tyres are used, the parking brake can only function when the tyres are inflated hard
enough (see the Section "Technical details").
L
Note that the tyre pressure should always correspond to the values given in the Chapter
"Technical details", otherwise the action of the parking brakes would be reduced or even be
zero.
