5.5 Drive wheel suspension Zippie Salsa
The Zippie Salsa R2 has an effective and adjustable drive
wheel suspension system as a standard feature. To match
your requirements on drive comfort, the tension of the
springs at the damper can be adjusted.
Turning the aluminium ring away from the spring will
soften your ride, adjusting the aluminium ring in a position
towards the spring will harden it. This option is to be used
to match the different user weights to the suspension
system, (Fig. 5.13). We recommend the suspension
adjustments are done equally on the left and right side of
the chair.
CAUTION!
The Zippie Salsa M2 uses the same suspension units
as the Zippie Salsa R2, but these must not be adjusted.
The Zippie Salsa M2 suspension works in a different way
and is balanced for optimum performance at the factory,
(Fig.5.14).
5.6 Control joystick unit position
WARNING!
• Make sure that the control system is mounted
securely and that the joystick position is correct.
• The hand or limb you use to operate the joystick
should be supported, for example by the arm pad.
• Do not use the joystick as the sole support for your
hand or limb - wheelchair movements and bumps
could upset your control.
Depending on your chosen control system, there are two
principles of control systems: Quickie VR2 and Quickie
R-net controls (for details please see the controls section
7 or 8)
.
The remote is mounted on a sliding mechanism
which enables the control to be moved forwards and
backwards.
• Undo the locking screw, (Fig.5.15).
• Slide the control arm out, or to it’s new position,
(Fig.5.16).
When the most comfortable position has been selected,
secure the slider by tightening the locking screw. Ensure
the locking screw is fully tightened prior to use and
especially when transporting your wheelchair.
WARNING!
Ensure the locking screw is fully tightened prior to use,
especially when transporting your wheelchair.
5.7 Getting ready to drive
• Operate the on/off switch. The battery gauge will blink
then remain on after a second
• Check that the maximum speed is set to a level which
suits you.

the wheelchair
