GYRO
The gyro must be deactivated prior to/
during any transport in a moving vehicle.
This can be done by selecting a special
driving program suited to these condi-
tions.
☞
A gyro can only be connected to a joy-
stick module that is equipped with an
LCD indicator.
The gyro, which comes standard on the
FWD and FWDS models and is otherwise
available as an accessory, neutralises un-
wanted and unavoidable driving manoeu-
vres which occur e.g. when driving on
uneven surfaces. The driving stability and
steerability of the electric wheelchair im-
prove markedly.
When a gyro-equipped electric wheelchair
is driven on board a moving means of trans-
port, e.g. a ship, bus or train, the wheelchair
may perform unwanted driving manoeu-
vres. For this reason, you should always
drive in Profile 1 in this kind of environment.
Once you leave the transport vehicle, you
can switch back to another program that
allows you to enjoy the advantages of the
gyro.
Enabling/disabling the gyro
Depending on the selected driving pro-
gram, the gyro is either enabled or disabled.
☞
Follow the instructions in the chapter
Driving program
on page 30.
☞
Depending on the model and equip-
ment, when the gyro is disabled, for
safety reasons, the electric wheelchair’s
speed may be significantly reduced.
