4.16 Steering lock option – if fitted
(Extreme X8 only)
The steering lock provides greater straight-line
directional stability. This is particularly useful when
reversing your powerchair down a vehicle ramp.
The steering lock is activated via your joystick and
the action achieved by locking the steering tie-rod.
•
When the steering lock is engaged, only drive
the powerchair forwards and backwards
•
Attempting to drive the powerchair normally
with the steering lock engaged could cause
serious damage
•
Before driving normally, ensure that you have
disengaged the steering lock with the joystick.
4.17 Transfer tilt - if fitted
The transfer tilt option allows the seat front to be
lowered by up to 70mm to improve the ease
of transferring in and out of the power powerchair.
The powerchair driving functionality is inhibited while
the chair is tilted forward to prevent damage to the
legrests and footplates which could occur with the
seat in this position.
•
As the seat tilts forward an orange turtle appears.
The powerchair will still drive slowly
•
Once the seat reaches its lowest position the action
will stop and the powerchair is inhibited from driving.
A red turtle will flash
•
Always ensure that the mechanism has returned
the seat back so that the orange turtle flashes, or no
turtle appears (horizontal) otherwise the powerchair
will not drive.
