Owner’s Manual Baldertech Balder
| Baldertech
To have a smooth journey downhill:
•
Select a drive profile that has a lower maximum speed
•
If your vehicle has lights, turn them on. The lights will use energy, and as a result less energy will
go to the batteries. This allows you to go downhill at a slightly faster speed than with the lights off.
•
When the LEDs of the battery gauge start to flash as a warning that the batteries are over
-
charging, do not ignore this warning. Drive at a lower speed. If you do not slow down, you will
damage the batteries. When your speed has been too fast for too long, the vehicle will halt to
prevent more damage.
• If you often need to go downhill with fully charged batteries, ask your installer/technician/
therapist to optimize the program values of your chair for your situation.
Driving downhill
Driving uphill
Driving on sideslopes
Avoid, if possible, to drive on sideslopes. Driving on sideslopes must be carried out with great
caution and low speed. Show great caution on slopes with uneven surface such as gravel, sand,
snow, grass and like.
Driving on sideslopes
WARNING
Do not drive on sideslopes greater than 6 degrees. There is risk of tipping.
Use of seat lift, seat angle and backrest angle shifts the center of gravity
and increases the risk of tipping.
Driving over obstacles and kerbs
Do not drive over obstacles higher than 50mm.
Models that have seat lift, backrest angle and seat angle, the center of gravity will shift when
using these, and increases the risk of tipping. Use seat lift, backrest angle and seat angle only on
flat surfaces.
