ParaGolfer
The critical obstacle height of the sports wheelchair is
100 mm / 3.9". It is not permitted to cross obstacles higher
than 100 mm / 3.9". Obstacles such as steps or curbs must
be crossed at reduced speeds.
When travelling at maximum speed, sudden steering actions
can cause the rear of the wheelchair to swerve. Steering ac-
tions must always be adapted to the travel speed.
If there are obstacles in the travel path, it is important to
drive around them with a large margin of safety. On uneven
ground, the driving behaviour of the wheelchair may get out
of control. Therefore the speed must always be adapted to
the ground conditions.
The battery indicator and speed level are shown in the driv-
ing menu on the LCD display.
For driving use the joystick. The further the joystick is moved
from the centre position, the faster the sports wheelchair will
travel in that direction.
The maximum speed with full deflection of the joystick de-
pends on the selected speed level.
Releasing the joystick automatically activates the brake
function, which brings the wheelchair to a halt. When stand-
ing still, the mechanical brakes are automatically activated
so the sports wheelchair cannot roll away.
The sports wheelchair has a programmable number of
speed levels (delivery condition = 5 speed levels). The "M”
button is used to increase the speed level. After reaching
the maximum speed level, the control unit switches back to
speed level 1.
Adapting the driving characteristics
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to incorrect configura-
tion settings.
Modified parameter settings in the configu-
ration lead to changes in driving characteristics. In partic-
ular, changes to the speed, acceleration, braking or
joystick settings can lead to unexpected and therefore un-
controllable operating performance with a risk of acci-
dents. Always test the driving characteristics of the sports
wheelchair after configuration / programming is complete.
Programming must only be completed by authorised per-
sonnel. Neither Ottobock nor the control unit manufacturer
are liable for damages (especially in combination with
special controls) caused by programming that was not
properly / professionally adapted to the abilities of the
wheelchair user.
