To use the system, maneuver the wheelchair slowly and in a uniform direction over the docking
station. The lock plate under the wheelchair helps to guide the wheelchair into place in the
docking station. When the lock plate is fully engaged in the docking station, a spring-action
locking pin automatically secures the lock plate.
The docking station is equipped with a control switch that indicates whether the lock plate is
correctly secured in the docking station. As soon as the lock plate comes into contact with the
locking pin, a warning tone will sound (a high-pitched howl), and the red diode/lamp (LED) in the
control panel will light up until the lock plate is either fully engaged or else the wheelchair is
removed from the docking station.
As an indication that the wheelchair is properly secured, the warning tone will cease, the red
diode in the control panel will go out and the green diode lamp (LED) will light up.
When the wheelchair is correctly secured, the safety belt should be fitted and adjusted so that it
fits the user.

Do not drive the vehicle whilst a wheelchair is being maneuvered into position in the docking
station. In general, do not use the vehicle if the wheelchair is not correctly secured, the warning
tone sounds and/or the red warning lamp (LED) in the control panel flashes or is lit! Therefore,
always check if the lock plate is properly engaged in the docking station by trying to back the
wheelchair out of the docking station before moving the vehicle. (It must not be possible to back
out of the docking station without pressing the red button in the control panel).
