Owner’s Manual Chairman Entra Safety instructions
- 7 -
Operating the seat lift
Make sure nothing gets jammed between the chassis and the seat when you are
operating the seat lift. The center of gravity is higher when the seat is raised,
increasing the risk of tipping. So use the seat lift only on flat ground and not on
uneven surfaces.
Driving on loose or soft surfaces
When the chair is set to the lowest speed, and the batteries are not fully char-
ged, driving on certain surfaces, such as gravel, sand and thick carpets, may
result in restricted movement.
Releasing the brakes
Make sure the wheelchair is on a level surface before you release the brakes,
so it does not roll away.
Charging the batteries
The batteries must be charged in a well-ventilated room, not in a closet. Do not
charge the batteries in a bathroom or wet room. Use only chargers with a
maximum 10 A charging current (mean value). When the charger is connected,
the chair must not and cannot be driven.
When using acid batteries, use the acid-proof battery bag to avoid damage to
the chair and adjacent surfaces.
Transportation
Ensure that the chair is properly secured. A chair that is not properly secured can
cause serious injuries to those in the vehicle, as well as damage to the vehicle
itself, if the chair comes loose.
Service
Only attempt the servicing and maintenance that the operating instructions say
may be done by the user. All other servicing and maintenance should be done
by someone with sufficient knowledge to do it correctly.
Always disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before working on the
electrical system of the wheelchair.
Take care when using metal objects while working on the battery. A short circuit
could easily cause an explosion. Always use protective gloves and glasses.
The recommended air pressure is 29 psi. The tire could explode if you over-
inflate it.
The seat is heavy, and must be handled carefully to avoid personal injuries.
