6.6 Powered Seating
WARNING!
•
It is possible to reverse the direction of an actuator relative
to the direction of the joystick. Ensure you know which
direction to move the joystick for the desired operation.
Failure to do so may result in damage and/or injury.
•
Powered seat functions can be operated in “latched”
mode. To stop a latched seat function before the end of
travel, operate the joystick in the reverse direction.
6.6.1
Powered adjustable backrest
WARNING!
• Lowering the backrest by an angle of greater than 15° from
vertical alters the balance of your wheelchair.
• Never exceed 15° of recline when on any gradient or when
driving your wheelchair.
• If it is clinically safe to do so, bring the back rest back to the
upright position when travelling along.
6.6.2
Powered seat lift
The seat can lift up to 300 mm by operating it through your
control system.
WARNING!
•
Before operating the seat lift function ensure that the
immediate area around the wheelchair is clear of possible
obstructions, (eg wall shelving), and potential hazards,
(e.g. small children and pets).
•
Operating the seat lift will limit the drive speed of the
wheelchair.
6.6.3
Powered seat
The seat position can be changed by operating your control
system.
WARNING!
•
Before operating the seat function ensure that the
immediate area around the wheelchair is clear of possible
obstructions, (Fig. 6.4).
•
(eg wall shelving), and potential hazards, (eg small
children and pets).
•
Operating the seat will limit the drive speed of the
wheelchair.
•
Operating the seat and another electric option will stop
the drive all together.
NOTE:
• With the seat lift raised the maximum speed is limited to
approximately 10% of its normal value. This is known as
“Creep Mode”.
• Raising the seat in combination with other powered seating
options, such as /recline/leg rests, can suspend the normal
drive options, (depending on programming). This is quite
normal and is a safety feature.
• To start driving the wheelchair again, bring the seating
options back to their start positions.
