WARNINGS!
Make sure, when the chair is stored or left in the car
•
or anywhere else, the controller is switched off and the
freewheel mechanisms are engaged.
If there is a need to lift the drive unit the big side frame
•
tubes should be used.
On the MWD use the rear castor arm and the drive wheel.
•
Caution should be taken if the chair is in freewheel.
To remove the control pod:
VR2:
Loosen the adjustment screw on the control arm
and slide the arm out of the bracket, (Fig 5.3R). Place the
controller and arm in a safe place until required.
R-net:
Locate the in-line bus connector. Gently pull the
plugs apart to separate the loom, (Fig. 5.4R).
To reconnect the hand control just repeat the process in
reverse.
5.3 Re-Assembling
Flip up, (Rehab), or replace, (Standard), the backrest
into the receivers and tighten the lever screws carefully.
If required reconnect the remote controller. Attach the
hangers. Make sure your freewheel mechanisms are
engaged. Now you are ready to drive the chair.
WARNING!
Never lift the wheelchair by the armrests or the leg
•
rests, since they are detachable and harm could be
done to the user or to the wheelchair.
The wheelchair is not designed for use with a hoist,

5.4 Brake release
DANGER!
The Brake release, or the Low push force drive release
•
featured in section 5.4.1, (LPFDR), is only to be used in
an emergency power breakdown situation e.g. Where a
large distance has to be covered to get the user home
or into a safe environment.
Brake release or LPFDR, can also be used if a complete
•
and catastrophic loss of power such as control system
failure or battery failure has occurred.
Brake release or LPFDR, should not be habitually used
•
as a means of transporting the user as if in a manual
chair.
When the power chair is functioning normally, the brake
•
release or LPFDR, should only be used to park or store
the unoccupied wheelchair.
Never push the occupied power chair up or down a slope
•
with either the Brake release or LPFDR in operation.
