HANDLING THE
WHEELCHAIR
USE
The electric wheelchair, with attached
legrests and armrests, serves exclusi-
vely for the conveyance of one sitting
person. Other pulling or transporting
uses do not comply with its intended
purpose.
!
Attention:
Observe the brochure < Safety in-
formation electronic vehicles >!
This model is a wheelchair which is
intended for use indoors and outdoors
on a firm driving surface. It is assigned
to the user class B according to the
norm EN12184. Before use on outdoor
public routes the electronic wheelchair
is to be fit with an optionally availa-
ble lighting jig.
Depending on the foot plate height
adjustment it can cross obstacles with
a max. height of 50 mm.
Higher obstacles up to 110 mm high
can be crossed with a “step climber”.
TIPS FOR ACCIDENT PRE-
VENTION
First driving exercises
A low maximum speed must be pre-
selected on the control unit for the
initial driving practice. Make yourself
familiar with the driving behaviour of
the electric wheelchair in small steps.
The electric wheelchair should not be
used outside of the familiar environ-
ment or on public highways before
you have a safe control of the vehicle.
Driving in street traffic
The Highway Code must be complied
with when driving on public high-
ways. Before starting to drive the re-
quired lighting jig is to be checked for
function. Carry out a short braking and
steering test after the start of motion
at a very low speed.

– Avoid jerky adjustments to driving
status when negotiating hills, trans-
verse slopes and obstacles.
– Always switch off the vehicle and
move the selection lever to the
drive mode position before trans-
ferring into or out of the wheel-
chair! An unintentional operation
of the joystick will otherwise cause
the wheelchair to travel! – Danger
of accidents!
– For safety reasons, never operate a
mobile phone or other transmit-
ting device whilst the wheelchair
is switched on.
Charging procedure
The charging process for gel batteries
takes longer than that for batteries

Attention:
Have the brakes repaired immedi-
ately by an authorised dealer if
they work one-sided or if the brak-
ing effect is reduced.
• Observe the brochure < Safety in-
formation electronic vehicles >!
Service brake
The motor works electrically as a driv-
ing brake and decelerates the wheel-
chair softly and jerk-free to a stand-
still.
Parking brake
The parking brakes only work when
the selection lever is in the drive mode
position. They disengage automatical-
ly when the wheelchair starts off. They
are disengaged manually by moving
the selection lever to the push mode
position. Also view chapter < Drive-/
push mode >.
Braking the wheelchair
The wheelchair stops when you let go
of the joystick (fig. 10/
➀).
For allotted braking slowly guide the
joystick back to the home position
(zero-setting). Always ensure an ade-
quate braking distance when applying
the wheelchair brakes.
!
Attention:
For this reason, ensure that you
brake the wheelchair in good time
when you encounter other people
or obstacles.
Braking distance
The shortest braking distance, depend-
ing on the surface condition and speed
and the wheelchair version, is about
1.0 m at a speed of 6 km/h.
