2.18 Blow fuse
To protect the motor against overload, there is a
heat monitoring system located in the power
module that will automatically cut off the motor to
prevent overheating and thus rapid wear and tear
or breakdowns. This can occur if you go up or
down slopes that exceed the maximum gradient
indicated. Nominal loads exceeding the
maximum could also trigger the safety
mechanism.
To indicate that the motor is overloaded, there is
a fault code on the operator control. This code
comprises of:
1: Battery indicator flickering in sequence from
left to right.
2: All LEDs of the speedindicator flickering at the
same time.
To be able to use the electric wheelchair again,
place joystick in neutral, remove the overload
and wait till the motor has cooled down. Your
wheelchair is now ready for use again.
To protect the wheelchair against short circuit, a blow fuse is located on the battery
compartment. When there is short circuit in the wheelchair, the blow fuse melts. There will be
no function, no identification anymore. Contact your specialist dealer.
2.19 Anti-tipping (B78)
L
CAUTION:
Risk of injury - Check that the anti-tipping is working before driving
with the electric wheelchair.
For your safety your electric wheelchair is equipped
with an anti-tipping
that works with a suspension
system, and when crossing small obstacles (no
higher than 70 mm) tips back a little, yet overtipping
is prevented by a stopping mechanism. Do not
remove the anti-tipping device as your wheelchair
will no longer be secured against accidentally
tipping over.
2.20 Use of the wheelchair as seat in a motor vehicle
L
WARNING:
The wheelchair has passed the crash test of ISO 7176-19: 2008 and,
as such, has been designed and tested for use only as forward-facing seat in a
motor
vehicle.
L
WARNING:
The wheelchair's pelvic belt alone is not suited as an occupant
restraint
belt.
The wheelchair is tested using the four-point strap-tie system and a 3-point occupant-
restraint system.
Whenever feasable, use the seat of the vehicle and store the wheelchair in the cargo area.
