Daily checks
Perform the daily check routine before driving:
Checking wheels & tyres
• Are the tyres sufficiently inflated (Chapter 8.2 of the owner’s manual).
Checking batteries
• Before using your vehicle for the very first time, please charge your batteries for a period of 24 hours.
• Are the batteries sufficiently charged? The green lights on the battery indicator must be on.
&
Controller
Checking lights and indicators
• Ensure that the lights and indicators are functioning correctly and lens are clean before going outdoors at night.
&
Controller
Checking remote
• With the control system switched off, check that the joystick is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the centre when you push
and release it.
Checking free wheel lever
• Ensure that the free wheel lever has been set to ‘drive’. (Chapter 5.8 of the owner’s manual).
Checking seating
• Ensure that all the cushions are in place.
• Make sure that the backrest is correctly fitted and adjusted.
• Visually inspect the wheelchair to make sure the leg rests, armrests etc. are correctly positioned and attached to the wheelchair
and all fasteners are sufficiently tightened.
• Ensure that the seat interface knobs are tight and secure.
Checking clothing on potential entrapment
• When operating the wheelchair, ensure that your clothing does not hamper the wheelchair (i.e. too long). Before use, always
check if your clothing or accessories do not come into contact with the wheels or and other moving and/or rotating parts in which
they could become entangled.
Checking weather conditions
• In winter, batteries have a reduced capacity. During a period of light frost, the capacity is roughly 75% of the normal capacity. At
temperatures below -5˚C this will be roughly 50%. This will reduce your range of action.
