2.12.7 Your first trip
L WARNING: Control your electric wheelchair - Accustom yourself with the driving
behavior of your electric wheelchair.
Driving
Once you are seated on your electric wheelchair and have set it on as described above, take
the joystick with your hand and push this in the required direction i.e.:
PUSH ACTION FORWARD = FORWARD MOVEMENT
PUSH ACTION BACKWARD = BACKWARD MOVEMENT
Braking
To brake, let go of the joystick, which will let it return to the zero position and slow down your
electric wheelchair to a gentle stop. Practice pulling away and braking to get accustomed to
the electric wheelchair. You need to be able to estimate how your electric wheelchair will
react when you drive or brake.
Driving in corners and bends
L WARNING: Risk of tipping over - Reduce your speed before you enter a curve or
corner.
L WARNING: Risk of clamping - Always maintain an adequate distance from
corners and obstacles.
Move the joystick into the position you wish to turn. The front wheels will turn accordingly and
steer the electric wheelchair into a new direction. It is very important that you ensure that
there is enough space allowing you to go around bends and corners. Narrow passages must
preferably be approached in a large curve so as to allow you to enter the narrowest part as
straight from the front as possible.
Take care not to enter curves and corners diagonally. By ‘cutting the corner’, chances are
that your rear wheels will run into obstacles and destabilize your electric wheelchair.
2.12.8 Backward movement
L WARNING: Control your electric wheelchair - Accustom yourself with the driving
behavior of your electric wheelchair.
L WARNING: Control your speed - Always go backward in the lowest speed
possible.
L WARNING: Risk of collision - Always look to the back when you go backward.
Rearward driving requires increased concentration and care. This explains why we have
greatly reduced the speed of rearward movement in comparison with forward driving. But we
still recommend that you put the speed on minimum when you drive backward.
2.12.9 Going uphill
L WARNING: Control your electric wheelchair - Accustom yourself with the driving
behavior of your electric wheelchair.
L WARNING: Control your electric wheelchair - Never put your electric wheelchair
in neutral on slopes.
L WARNING: Control your speed - Moving on slopes as slow as possible.
L WARNING: Risk of tipping over - Do not exceed the maximum gradient of static
stability uphill (see paragraph "Technical specifications")
L WARNING: Never reverse going uphill.
