Seat elevators are sometimes referred to as scissor lifts; this for good reason. Under no
circumstances should you put your hands, fingers, toes or any part of your body in the seat
elevator mechanism while it is operating. Be careful that nobody else has any part of their
body in the seat elevator mechanism while it is working.
To operate the power elevating seat:
•
Bring your power chair to a complete stop on a flat level surface.
•
Always fasten the positioning belt when operating the power elevating seat.
•
Push the ‘Accessory Mode Selection’ button on the DX2. Select power elevating seat by
moving the joystick left or right. Once the power elevating seat option is highlighted,
moving the joystick forward or backwards will operate the function.
•
Once the seat reaches its highest elevation, the action stops; release the joystick at this
point.
•
Before driving, always be sure that the mechanism has returned the seat to its lowest
position.
The power seat elevator is fitted with a system that reduces the speed of the power
wheelchair when the seat has been elevated a small amount.
WARNING! Fasten the positioning belt when using the seat elevator
WARNING! Never elevate the seat from its lowest position on an inclined
surface
WARNING! Never raise the seat when crossing bumpy or uneven surfaces
WARNING! Do not put the power wheelchair into freewheel mode with the
seat elevated
WARNING! Maintain recommended tyre pressures for good stability
STOP! Do not put your fingers, toes or anything into the scissor mechanism
while it is operating. Serious personal injury will occur.
6 Joystick controls
A detailed manual for the DX2 joystick is available from Dynamic Control’s website:
www.dynamiccontrols.com
.
The joystick controls may be customised and may be one of a number of different models
depending upon users requirements. This manual contains information on the standard
joystick control.
6.1 Joystick power
If the power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the joystick
and turn the wheelchair off. Unless the joystick is damaged, this should stop your power
chair.
If the joystick is not in the neutral (centre) position when you turn on the power, you may
cause a fault in the system. Releasing the joystick and turning the power off and on again will
reset the system.
