1. 

Flip up / remove the armrest (A figure 

32).

2.  If possible, swing-away the leg rest (B) 

or remove it from the bracket.

3.  Sit down in the wheelchair 

7.3.  Driving the wheelchair

 

 CONTROLLER A controller is used for driving a powered wheelchair. There 

is a separate manual for the controller and this is supplied with the wheelchair. 

Read through all the user manuals carefully before using the wheelchair for the 

first time. The information they contain is essential for the safe use and proper 

maintenance (cleaning). If any of the manuals are missing on delivery of your 

wheelchair, please contact your dealer immediately.

 Warning

•  As a wheelchair user, you are vulnerable when on the road. Remember that 

other road users may not always notice you.

• 

Observe traffic regulations.

•  Avoid taking any deserted routes so that help is always on hand in any 

emergency situation. 

•  Adjust your speed and driving style to the conditions.

•  To stop or to make an emergency stop, move the joystick to the neutral 

position or let go of it. The wheelchair will then brake automatically.

•  Never take corners at full speed. Reduce your speed when cornering.  

•  Use the indicators when changing direction. 

•  When driving: 

• 

Do not press the on/off button. 

•  Do not suddenly start driving in the opposite direction. 

If you do, the wheelchair will stop abruptly and jolt. Not only is this unpleasant, 

it can also lead to the wheelchair tipping over.
