7.7. Switching on and off
Danger
Danger of death in case of malfunction of the engine brakes. When using the Out Chair the engine brakes must be engaged and in
working order.
7.7.1. Electronic system protection
The chair’s electronic control system is equipped with a current control device to prevent circuit damage in the event of
overload.
When the motors are subjected to considerable effort for a prolonged period, the power supplied by the device is
gradually reduced to prevent overheating.
This decrease in power can continue until the complete standstill of the chair. This phenomenon occurs more quickly when
the ambient temperature is raised.
Stopping for several minutes may then be necessary in order to return to maximum power.
When driving is blocked by an impassable obstacle and the user continues forward, forcing the engines to stall for more
than 10 seconds, the electronic system automatically turns off the power.
7.7.2. Circuit Breaker fuse box
In addition to the protection described in the previous paragraph, the entyre wheelchair electrical system is protected
against overload by a circuit breaker fuse located behind the seat.
The circuit breaker shouldn’t blow during normal operation. However, this can happen in the case of a low battery and an
excessive load.
The circuit can be cut via the red button on the circuit breaker. This action cuts power to the controller and other
electrical devices. It also prevents the batteries recharging.
Do not reset the circuit breaker several times in succession because if a problem persists this could damage the electronic
systems.
Do not reset the circuit breaker until there has been a complete inspection of the entyre electrical system (see paragraph
V Battery replacement). If the problem persists, contact us or a distributor.
Switch on the circuit breaker (armed) by pressing button 25.
7.7.3. Switching on
• The electronic system will turn on if:
• The circuit breaker is armed
• The joystick is on
• The electromagnetic brakes must be engaged otherwise the wheelchair will not move
