4.1 First-Time Setup
●
Attach the restraints as described in this section.
●
Inspect the chair (see
Inspecting the Chair,
page 37),
●
Use the battery charger (supplied) to charge the main
battery (Figure 1). See
Charging the Battery
, page 16.
●
Attach the fully-charged main battery to the chair. See
Attaching and Removing the Main Battery,
page 15.
●
Install the two AA batteries (supplied) in the control
panel (see
Control-Panel Batteries,
page 37). The
batteries are shipped in the carrying case with the
interconnect cord (see
Components,
page 10).
●
Verify the PowerTraxx is functioning properly. If the
tension needs to be adjusted, see
Adjusting the Track-
Belt Tension,
page 39.
●
Verify the paddles allow the user to press softly or
more firmly to control the speed of the PowerTraxx.
If the PowerTraxx runs constantly when power is
applied or if it immediately begins moving at full
speed, re-calibrate the paddles. See
Calibrating the
Paddles,
page 42.
●
If all batteries are properly charged and installed but
the paddles do not function, the wireless connection
may have been lost. See
Interconnect Cord,
page 41.
4.2 ankle Restraint
Use the ankle restraint to help keep the patient’s feet on the
footrest. Attach the two-piece ankle restraint to the front
legs of the chair. To attach the restraint:
1. Unbuckle the restraint to separate the straps.
2. Wrap a strap around one front leg of the chair and
thread the buckle through the loop, then pull the strap
tight around the chair leg (Figure 2).
3. Attach the remaining strap to the opposite front leg.
4. Buckle the restraint and adjust the length (Figure 3).
