WheelDrive Rev.G
Warning!
It is advised to select a low driving profile
when driving indoors, on pavements and in
pedestrian areas.
Take extra care when driving at higher speeds.
Do not drive off obstacles higher than 50 mm.
Overcome obstacles only by driving
backwards, if possible.
Do not attach any weights to the power assist
system or wheelchair frame without the
approval of a qualified specialist. This may
negatively affect the stability of the product.
It is advised to use fully charged batteries
when driving up a slope (less charged batteries
can supply less power than fully charged
batteries). For taking slopes at least 2 LEDs of
the battery indicator should be on.
It is advised to use the Assist rim when driving
up or down a slope. Before you use the Drive
rim on slopes, make sure you are familiar with
the use of the Drive rim e.g. by learning on
slight slopes. In case you want to use the Drive
rim on slopes, make sure that you make the
correct power setting before you start to take
the slope.
Beware that in difficult situations you should be
able to take over to the Assist rims.
Take special care when driving down slopes of
any kind. Adjust your speed to maintain safe
control.
When descending with Assist rims, the system
will reach and keep a maximum speed of ~15
km/h. Exceeding this speed is not possible.
This speed is settable by an authorized
person.
Beware that each power assist wheel is a few
cm wider than a standard manual wheel; be
careful taking narrow doors and hallways.
3.5 Software adjustment options
The electronics of the power assist are
programmed to an average usage/driving
profile – several parameters are available
that can be adjusted to influence the driving
behaviour. Please contact your dealer about
possible adjustments.
Warning!
Only an authorized person is allowed to
make any adjustments and program the
power assist.
Incorrect programming can lead to unsafe
situations.
