3 Using your wheelchair
Risk of injuries
First read previous chapters and inform yourself about the intended use. Do NOT use your
wheelchair unless you have read and fully understood all instructions.
Also read the instructions in the operator console manual and battery charger manual!
In case of doubts or questions, do not hesitate to contact your local specialist dealer, your care
provider or technical adviser to help you with this.
3.1 First ride
Risk of injuries and damage
Always keep the swing range of footrest and operating console in mind to prevent bystanders
from being injured or objects from being damaged.
Always unplug the battery charger from the wheelchair before starting to drive.
Make sure that you are familiar with the operation of your wheelchair before using it in
crowded and possibly dangerous places. First exercise at a specious, open area with
little bystanders.
Investigate the effects of shifting the centre of gravity on the behaviour of the wheelchair,
for example on up or down gradients, on laterally sloping ground, or when overcoming
obstacles. Obtain support from an attendant.
The surface of the controller gets slightly warm during use.
While driving backwards, the speed is reduced.
1. Make sure that:
the wheelchair is on a flat surface;
the battery is fully loaded, see § 3.7;
The motor is coupled, see § 3.4;
the tyres have the correct tyre pressure, see § 4.2.1;
the wheelchair is adapted to your needs and comfort, see §3.6;
you have the proper sitting position, see § 3.5.
2. Follow the instructions in the operating console manual.
3. Switch on your wheelchair.
4. Turn the speed control to the lowest speed setting.
5. Exercise how to drive and make adjustments to the wheelchair.
6. If you feel confident enough, you can try to drive at higher speed.
7. Now try to turn, in forward and backward direction. Repeat this a few times.
8. Make sure that your wheelchair stands stable, when ending the ride.
9. Switch off your wheelchair.
3.2 Driving outdoors
Risk of accident - Adjust your driving behaviour and speed.
Take the local road traffic law into consideration; it may differ per country. This counts for driving
on pavements, unpaved roads or paved roadways.
Do not drive on roads with heavy traffic.
Take the weather conditions into consideration. Avoid driving by moist weather, extreme heat,
snow, black ice, freezing temperatures; see technical specifications in chapter 5.
Even with your wheelchair lights on, it is not suitable to drive on public roads at poor visibility
(darkness, mist, twilight). Make sure that you are well visible, also during daylight hours, by
using fluorescent clothing and/or by using own lighting at the front and rear side of the
wheelchair.
