Emergency release: Stand to sit
Innowalk Medium and Large is equipped with an emergency seat lowering mechanism. The
mechanism is located at the bottom of the back column (purple arrow). In the event the machine
loses external power or the remote control does not work, the user can be manually lowered to a
seated position. To activate the emergency lowering, the safety lock on the handle must first be
released.
The emergency release feature should in normal working conditions not be used.

How to use the emergency lowering mechanism:
1. The operator presses the safety lever (red arrow). The emergency release lever can now be used.
2. The operator presses the emergency release main lever (green arrow). The seat is now loose and
can be lowered.
3. The operator holds the handle (blue arrow) and slowly moves it backwards. The seat moves back
and down. As the seat is moved down it becomes increasingly heavier for the operator to hold due to
holding up the weight of the user. If it becomes too heavy, release the main lever and the descent
will stop. If possible, we recommend two persons to operate the emergency seat lowering to
minimise the risk of injuring the operator.
4. Lower the seat to the lowest position.
5. Release the main lever to its original position.
6. Help the user out of the Innowalk.
If emergency lowering has been used:
1. Ensure that no persons are in the Innowalk.
2. Execute “homing”. See chapter 7.9 Troubleshooting for how to
execute homing.
3. Run the seat from sitting to standing to sitting with the remote control.
4. If everything works fine, then the product is ready for use again. Contact you Made for Movement
representative for support if something is not working as intended.
Important warnings:
•
It is imperative that the seat is supported by the operator when lowering it as it does not have a
brake. If the seat is not supported after releasing the main lever, the user and the seat will fall
back and crash into a seated position.
•
Keep your hands away from all mechanical parts when using the manual emergency release.
•
Possible pinch danger hazard when using the emergency release.
•
Emergency release can cause serious injury if used incorrectly or operator is not strong enough
to use the emergency release alone. Get help if possible.
•
Only trained persons shall operate the emergency release.
•
For emergency use only, extensive use will damage the actuator.
