Bring the joystick forwards and continue to run up the slope. Check that the wheelchair moves gently forwards.
Stop the wheelchair and reverse down the slope. Release the joystick when the wheelchair is on the upward slope
and check that the wheelchair stops and that the brakes function as they should without the front wheels lifting from
the ground.
Test of lights, indicators and warning lights
If the wheelchair is equipped with lights:
• Check that all bulbs light up as they should.
• Check that all bulbs light up as they should and that the flashing frequency is 1.5 Hz ± 0.5 Hz.
• Remove the bulbs in turn and check that the remaining bulb on the same side flashes at a requency of 3 Hz ± 0.5
Hz.
If the wheelchair is equipped with warning lights:
• Check that all bulbs light up as they should and that the flashing frequency is 1.5 Hz ± 0.5 Hz.
Test of adjustment device
If the wheelchair is equipped with an adjustment device:
• Check that all motors move in the right direction.
• Make sure that the mechanical end stops are secured and that they stop the adjustment device motors, and thus
use the automatic end stop tracking that is in the seat and light module (ISM).
Test of inhibit signal
Connect a suitable battery charger or equivalent inhibit connecting device in the charging contact on the joystick mod-
ule and check that the wheelchair is prevented from running.
If inhibit contacts 2, 3, 4 and 5 are used for inhibiting or speed restriction, an appropriate test should be performed in
order to check that they are functioning as they should.
