4.1 Checking the wheelchair
before use
Before driving check that:
1 The tyres are sufficiently inflated (see 6.3
Tyres)
2 The batteries are sufficiently charged. The
green lights on the battery indicator must
be on

(see 44 Free wheel lever)
Note!
Before use, always check to see whether
clothing or accessories could come into
contact with wheels or other moving and/
or rotating parts in which they could become
entangled
The capacity of batteries is reduced in winter
During a period of light frost, the capacity
is roughly 75% of the normal capacity At
temperatures below -5˚C this will be roughly
50% This will reduce the wheelchair’s range
