Securing the electric wheelchair

The electric wheelchair is to be secured as

follows to prevent it from rolling oﬀ unin-

tentionally:

1. Switch the selection lever for drive-/

push mode up to drive mode on both

sides.

2. Switch oﬀ the operating module.

Functional checks

The functions and safety of the electric

wheelchair must be checked before the

start of each journey.

☞ For this observe chapter < Inspections

before starting to drive > in the accom-

panying documentation.

Driving

You deﬁne the speed and direction yourself

with the joystick movements (driving and

steering lever) while driving as well as the

preadjusted maximum ﬁnal speed of your

electric wheelchair.

BRAKES

Service brake

The motors work electrically as operating

brake and carefully brake the electric wheel-

chair down without jerks to stillstand.

Braking the wheelchair

For allotted braking of the wheelchair slow-

ly guide the joystick (steering and driving

lever) back to the centre position (zero-set-

ting).

☞ The electric wheelchair stops in short-

est distance after releasing the joysticks.

Parking brake

The parking brakes are only eﬀective when

the selection lever drive-/push mode is set

to drive mode on both drives. They disen-

gage automatically when the wheelchair

starts oﬀ.

The parking brakes are manually disen-

gaged by switching the selection lever

drive-/push mode on both drives to push

mode.
