MAINTENANCE/REPAIR
Repairs
You can have complete confidence in your
distributor when it comes to repairs. He or
she has been instructed on how to perform
the work and employs properly trained per-
sonnel.
Service
If you have any questions or need assis-
tance, please contact your distributor who
can advise you and carry out service and
repairs.
Technical safety inspections
While the wheelchair is running, the elec-
tronic system is constantly performing in-
spections. As a supplement to these elec-
tronic safety measures, the user should
also perform routine inspections. If these
inspections uncover any irregularities, you
should immediately have your wheelchair
inspected by an authorised service centre.
Daily inspections
Check the joystick module and any asso-
ciated electronic components for exter-
nal damage and proper mounting on the
wheelchair.
With the joystick module turned off, ex-
amine and inspect the joystick and joy-
stick sleeve for external damage and check
whether the joystick returns to the midline
position automatically, without any issues.
Weekly inspections
Joystick operation in connection with the
magnetic brake system: Before the inspec-
tion, ensure that there is at least 1 metre of
free space around the wheelchair.
Turn on the joystick module and wait until
the battery indicator illuminates and signals
‘ready’. Slowly move the joystick forward
until the brake system responds with an
audible click. The wheelchair will gradual-
ly start rolling. Quickly release the joystick.
You should now clearly be able to hear the
brakes engage within just a few seconds.
The same inspection must be performed
for driving to the right, to the left and in re-
verse.
All cables and plugs must be examined for
external damage and proper attachment.
Annual inspections
Have your distributor inspect the electronic
system during your wheelchair’s annual ser-
vice inspection.
