9.7 Forus control (R-net)
WARNINGS!
Ensure that you set the speed of the forus control to
•
a speed that you can comfortably follow.
Ensure that you always have comfortable access to
•
the controls whilst the chair is moving and make sure
that the controller is fixed securely to the chair.
It is important that the joystick boot is replaced if it is
•
torn or brittle; failing to do so could cause substance
damage to the controller and unexpected movement
of the chair.
Always turn off the power to the controller when
•
leaving the user in the chair.
Do not replace the joystick knob with any
•
unauthorised item. It may cause hazardous
operation and loss of control of the chair.
Do not hang any items on the handles of the forus
•
control.
The forus attendant control is a mechanical device that
translates mechanical attendant movements into joystick
movements on a regular remote control. (Fig 10.3)
The forus attendant control operates with R-net controls
only.
