Parallel Swing-Away Arm
Before adjusting the swing-
away arm, switch off the
controller to avoid accidental
displacement of the joystick
which would cause unwanted
movement of your wheelchair.
Gently apply pressure to the side of
the controller nearest the user and
as close as possible to the front of
the controller.
The controller will move outward
and then backward before reaching
its fully back position.
Keep your fingers and clothing,
etc., clear while operating the
swing-away mechanism.
If required, your wheelchair can be
operated with the swing-away
mechanism in its fully back position,
but only for slow manoeuvering such
as positioning the wheelchair closer
to table tops, etc.
To revert to the normal driving
position, switch off the power and
pull the arm outwards and then
forwards before returning the arm
to its ‘home’ position. Make sure
the controller is fully engaged in its
home position before switching on
and operating the wheelchair in the
normal manner.
Caution
Do not hang any items on or over
the parallel swing-away remote
assembly as this could damage
the swing-away mechanism.
When transferring to and from
the wheelchair do not use the
remote as a means of support.

Warning
Keep fingers, clothing, etc., clear
of the swing-away mechanism at
all times.
Ensure the power is switched off
while adjusting the parallel
swing-away arm.
Only operate the wheelchair at
low manoeuvring speed when
the parallel swing-away is in use.
