6.1 Checking the general condition

Check all safety-related components for corrosion, repair if required and reapply corrosion

protection.

Check weld seams.

Check tightness of screw connections; replace thread-locking compound if required; observe

any defined torque specifications; replace defective screws (e.g. in case of corrosion).

Check cables for ruptures, signs of wear and proper attachment; replace defective components.

Check cable connections and plug connections.

6.2 Control unit

Via the enAble 40 control, the Skippi can show causes of error messages on the display. Er-

ror sources in the drive section and in the electric options are indicated by flashing of the cor-

responding sections in the display's pictograph.

The handheld programming device can be used to change the parameters.
Control panel holder
There is only one control panel variant available for the Skippi power wheelchair for children.

Four screws fasten the control panel to a holding element with spring sheet metal. You need

an Allen wrench to loosen these screws. Now the control panel can be easily inserted in and

removed from the control panel holder.
