3.1 Inspection before use
It is important to check the following
points before you start driving the
wheelchair:
•
If the lights and indicators are
working properly.
•
If the tyres are sufficiently inflated.
•
If the batteries are charged
sufficiently. The green battery
indicator lights must be on.
In winter the batteries have a lower
capacity. In case of light frost the
capacity will drop to approximately
75% of the normal capacity. At a
temperature of less than -5° the
capacity will be approximately 50%
of the normal capacity. This will
affect the range.
3.2 Getting in and out
1. Make sure the wheelchair is
switched off electrically.
2. Put the free wheel lever in the
Drive position.
Transfer forwards

Transfer sideways
