8.6 Brake Button
The brake function prevents track movement when the
controls are not pressed. By default, the brake function is
always active, as shown by the stop symbol that lights up on
the control panel.
The operator can enable or disable this safety feature through
the appropriate button on the control unit
.
• BRAKE FUNCTION ENABLED:
STOP icon lights
up on controller.
• BRAKE FUNCTION DISABLED:
icon lights up on
controller.
During the way up and / or down the stairs, when the operator
releases one of the up or down controls, the brake function
helps hold the chair in position, thus greatly reducing the
effort needed to keep the device still.
It is recommended to leave the brake function always
activated in order to ensure safe transport of the patient.
Pay the utmost attention and control the chair when going
down the stairs if the motor is not running or the brake
function is disabled.
8.7 Lights button
The Lights button switches the lights fitted on the motor
on and off; the lights improve safety, illuminating the
surroundings in which the chair is being used.
Press the button to switch on the lights; press again to switch
them off.
8.9 Selecting movement speed
The chair has two speeds for going up and down the stairs.
To select the desired speed, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the chair is switched on.
2. Press the speed selection button.
3. Select the desired speed: either HARE or TORTOISE,
by means of the specific button. When the speed has
been selected, the related icon will light up.
8.8 Speed Limiter SSL
The SSL function ("
Safety Speed Limiter
”) trips
automatically when the chair exceeds a predetermined safe
speed limit on the way down the stairs. This ensures safely
controlled descent during patient transport.
It also guarantees safe operation of the chair even when
the battery is low or damaged, or the circuit board is not
working properly. In these two cases, contact the Technical
Support Service immediately (page 2). In case of a low
battery, recharge the battery immediately.
