Rocker switch
With the rocker switch you determine the direction and speed (up to the
pre-selected speed) of the movilino.
F
Use the rocker switch carefully.
To drive forward you press the longer back part of the rocker switch
. To
drive backward, please press the rocker switch’s shorter front part
.
The movilino speeds up the more you press the rocker switch until you reach
the maximum pressure point. It slows down the more you release the rocker
switch.
Two seconds after standstill is reached, an electro-magnetic parking brake
becomes active.
6.1.5
Panic switch
If during an emergency you press the rocker switch too hard so that the pres-
sure point is overcome, the so-called panic switch causes the movilino to go
from driving mode into coast. As long as you keep the rocker switch pressed,
you can drive the patient away from the dangerous situation.
However, as soon as you release the rocker switch the electromagnetic brake
is activated.
Depending on particular circumstances the electro-magnetic brakes’ strong
effect may brake the wheelchair so abruptly that it stops immediately.
The panic switch works both ways going backward and forward as well as du-
ring malfunction (please see chapter 6.4 for trouble shooting).
