Operating Instructions (Driving)
警WARNING
If you overload the motor by tilting the joystick to go up a hill that is too steep or over a curb that is too high, the buzzer
will beep “Pi — Pi —”. If you continue to overload the motor in this state, the buzzer will beep “Pi —” and the wheelchair
will come to a stop. At this time, the warning light (red) will flash continuously. Although you will be able to resume
traveling by turning the power back on, there is a risk of damaging the equipment. Unless it is an emergency, it is best
to wait a while before resuming your travel.
CAUTION
There is a risk of raising the casters off the ground and rolling over backward when going uphill, over a curb, or
carrying goods on the backrest.
WARNING
Traveling with the anti-tip device detached, retracted, or made shorter than the “standard length” may cause a rollover.
Never travel without adjusting the anti-tip device properly.
WARNING
On an irregular surface with high curbs or dips, there is a risk of a rollover or fall if the wheelchair tilts too far backward.
CAUTION
Do not continue to operate the motor in an attempt to go over a high curb or to free yourself from a ditch. This may
overload the motor and cause a system failure. If you get stuck, ask for assistance to be moved to a safe place.
NOTE
• When you shift the center of balance towards the front, there is less chance of rolling over backward.
• If you have difficulty in shifting the center of balance, be sure to have an assistant accompany you.
Step

Check the condition of the battery.
While traveling, check the condition of the battery by way of the battery residual capacity
indicator lamps on the controller.
WARNING
If the warning lamp flashes and the buzzer beeps
“Pi Pi Pi Pi”, replace the battery as soon as possible. If you continue
to ride the wheelchair in power drive until the battery is completely empty, the warning lamp will light, the buzzer will
beep, and the wheelchair will come to a stop. It is very dangerous when you get into a situation where you cannot move,
such when crossing a road. Make sure to correctly replace the battery with a spare battery.
CAUTION
If the system is unable to establish communication with the battery, it will flash the battery residual capacity lamps
without indicating the residual capacity. In this case, remove and reinstall the battery. If this does not correct the
problem, have your wheelchair inspected at dealer
or contact Decon Wheel
.
n
To replace the battery
Turn the power switch OFF, and pull the battery straight up while pressing on the release button. Then, insert the
spare battery until it clicks into place.
WARNING
Make sure to install a protective cap on a removed battery before storing it. Exposed contacts can cause short circuits.
