Handling

General

This wheelchair is designed for use both inside and outside. When driving insi-
de, take normal care. Outside you must remember to drive very slowly on steep
downhill  slopes  and  not  to  drive  over  kerbs  and  other  obstacles  higher  than
2 3/4”. 

Do not make the first test run on your own. The test run is to find out how you
and the wheelchair work together and you may need some assistance. 

Driving

1 Insert the key switch in the side of the panel (only S panel).

2. Switch on the power by pressing the main power switch on the control panel.
