•
Each time you switch on the control unit, it will return to the previously selected speed level.
•
The specialist dealer can use the parameter settings to specify the default speed level or default menu of the
power wheelchair after it is turned on according to the user's requirements.
8.8.4 Selecting the speed levels
•
The power wheelchair has a programmable number of speed levels (as-delivered condition = 5 speed levels).
•
The speed level is increased by briefly pressing the [Mode] button.
•
Once the highest speed level has been reached the speed skips back to level 1.
•
The LCD screen indicates the selected speed level in the
Driving
menu.

8.8.5 Driving
WARNING
Driving on slopes, over obstacles
Falling, tipping over due to user error
►
Only cross obstacles or negotiate ascents or descents that are within the permitted maximums. For more
information, see the section "Technical data" (see Page 63).
►
Do not cross over any obstacles while ascending or descending inclines.
►
Avoid embarking and disembarking on inclines and slopes.
►
Do not drive over stairs.
WARNING
Driving on unsuitable surfaces
Risk of falling or tipping over due to operator error
►
Do not operate the power wheelchair on very smooth surfaces (e.g. icy surfaces) or very rough surfaces
(e.g. gravel or rubble).
WARNING
Longer braking distance
Risk of falling, tipping over or collision due to operator error
►
Note that the braking distance is much longer on downgrades than on the level.
►
Also reduce speed when driving downhill (e.g. select speed level 1).
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.
