Braking with the power wheelchair
Two independently working braking systems (safety systems) are used in the PARAVAN
power wheelchair in order to guarantee the greatest possible level of safety. The functions
of the individual safety systems are as follows:
Safety during the trip:
>
By releasing the joystick (the joystick always returns to its neutral position in the
middle) in driving mode, the motor brake automatically switches itself on and brakes
the power wheelchair.
Safety in the case of a power cut or interruption:
>
If there is an interruption to the power supply e.g. due to a discharged storage battery,
the safety magnet brake locks and the power wheelchair comes to a standstill. If this
is the case, it can only be mechanically unlocked and manually moved.
