6.2 Driving the wheelchair
• As a wheelchair user, you are
vulnerable in traffic. Keep in mind
that other participants in traffic may
not always notice you. Keep to the
applicable traffic regulations.
• Avoid out-of-the-way routes so that
help can be quickly on its way when
needed.
• Adapt your driving style and speed to
the circumstances.
Electric wheelchairs are driven by means
of a controller. The controller has its own
user manual
CONTROLLER, which
has been included with this wheelchair.
• Switch on the controller
CONTROLLER
• Set the maximum speed limit
CONTROLLER
• Move the joystick into the direction
you would like to go
• Moving the joystick even further
forwards will cause the wheelchair to
move faster
Curves
• Never take curves at full speed.
Decrease your speed before taking a
curve.
• Use the indicators when changing
direction.
Braking/Emergency stop
To brake, the joystick must be moved
into the neutral position or released
completely. The wheelchair will brake
automatically. An emergency stop can
also be made by releasing the joystick.
An emergency stop can be made by
releasing the joystick. The following
should be avoided when driving:
• Do not push the on/off button
• Do not move suddenly in the
opposite direction. The wheelchair
will come to an abrupt standstill with
a sudden jolt. Not only is this
uncomfortable, it could lead to tipping
over if you are on a slope.
6.3 Driving on a slope
With all adjustment options set to the
neutral position (table 3.1), it can be
assumed that when using an RWD Alex,
a grade of ≤10˚ (17.6%) belongs to a
normal user environment with no danger
of instability. In an FWD Alex this is ≤6˚
(10.5%). In the technical specifications,
you will find this under ‘maximum safe
slope’.
Slopes steeper than the normal user
environment
Driving on slopes whose grade is
steeper than the maximum safety limit
can lead to safety risks with respect to
stability. This requires great care and
complete control of the user. Always
drive carefully and never take
unnecessary risks! Follow the
instructions next to the warnings
carefully!
The stability and performance of a
wheelchair depend on a number of
variables. Wheelchairs are adapted
according to the needs of individual
users. This is why variables will differ
from wheelchair to wheelchair. Ask your
dealer to inform you about the
instructions for use and the specific
settings and adjustments that can
influence the driving characteristics of
the wheelchair.
