3.6 Driving
•
As a wheelchair user you could
be vulnerable in traffic. When
travelling in or across a road,
keep in mind that other traffic
participants may not always
notice you. Keep to the
applicable traffic regulations.
•
Avoid out-of-the way routes, so
that help can be on its way
quickly when needed.
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.
•
If the free wheel lever is in it’s
Drive
position
The joystick must be completely
in the zero position, before switching
the wheel-chair on. Otherwise the
electronic system will malfunction. As
an indication the lights of the battery
light up.
To correct this fault the wheelchair
must be switched off and then back
on, with the joystick in the ‘zero
position’. This safety fuse feature
prevents the wheelchair from
unintended movement.
