INFORMATION
The control unit of the product switches to a safe mode at elevated temperatures and after driving uphill for exten­
ded periods of time, limiting the performance of the product.
The user is able to drive the product out of a hazardous situation at any time. After a short time, the product is fully
operational again.
The power wheelchair is controlled by moving the joystick:
•
The further the joystick is deflected from the centre position, the faster the power wheelchair will drive in this
direction.
• The maximum speed at full deflection of the joystick depends on the selected speed level.
• Releasing the joystick automatically activates the brake function, bringing the power wheelchair to a halt.
The mechanical brakes are activated automatically when the power wheelchair comes to a stop so that it cannot
roll.
