DRIVING BEHAVIOR
A brief "familiarisation phase" of driver
training is initially necessary to adapt
the special driving features of an unfami-
liar vehicle, be it wheelchair or car, to
your personal circumstances.
Drive with extreme caution during
these first trips.
Bearing this in mind, set the pre-selecta-
ble final speed to the lowest setting.
Turn the dial (20) on the control box
in an anticlockwise direction as far
as possible,
(see "Pre-Operation
Checks).
Please observe the Safety Instructions!
Each time you use the wheelchair, you
will be confronted with and have to
cope with new situations, as is the case
in all areas of life, e.g. in the family or
at work. Take advantage of the
versa-
tility
of the POWER PRIMUS II Electro-
nic Wheelchair in adapting to the speci-
fic requirements of its user. This offers
you
you outstanding driving comfort
and high operational safety.
This operating manual will give you all
necessary information.
You determine the
speed and direction
of travel travel while in motion by mo-
ving the joystick (16). For example,
push the joystick slowly forwards and the
wheelchair also moves slowly forwards.
This also applies to moving the joystick
to the side when steering the Electronic
Wheelchair. The wheelchair moves in
the same direction as the joystick.
Use the dial (20) to select the maximum
final speed of your wheelchair when
the wheel chair is stationary or in
motion
.
The selection of the correct speed is
important for a safe journey!
See the section entitled "Pre-Operati-
on Checks"
There is a slight interval between mo-
ving the joystick and the wheelchair set-
ting in motion
(neutral zone) . This has
the advantage that the wheelchair does
not move immediately and endanger
other persons or objects if the joystick is
inadvertently activated.
Turning in confined spaces
The POWER PRIMUS II is fitted with two
drive motors. These permit the turning
and manoeuvring of the wheelchair in
confined spaces.
Please observe the Safety Instructions!
Braking the wheelchair
The wheelchair stops when you let go of
the joystick.
Note!
Braking the wheelchair when tra-
velling downhill at high speed
can
cause it to skid. – Danger of acci-
dents!
When travelling downhill, select a
low speed!
Always ensure an adequate braking
distance when applying the wheelchair
brakes.
Note!
The shortest braking distance for the
"POWER PRIMUS II" Model 2.432 is
approx.
1m for the 6 km/h – versi-
on, depending on road surface and
speed. . For this reason, ensure that
you brake the wheelchair in good
time when you encounter other peop-
le or obstacles.
• If drive mode is switched off (bra-
ke release lever in the "push"
position)
the wheelchair cannot be
operated and braked via the joy-
stick! In this event, use the
brake
release lever (shift to the
"drive" position). – Danger of
accidents!
• Please observe the Safety Instruc-
tions!
Note!
Mobile telephones
telephones and
other radio equipment should only be
used when the wheelchair is
stationa-
ry (control box switched off) for rea-
sons of safety.
Although the wheelchair conforms with
the statutory EMV regulations, it can cau-
se unintentional interference noise if
operated in the vicinity of sensitive elec-
tronic equipment (e.g. buzzing, hum-
ming).
The wheelchair can also interfere with
electromagnetic fields, e.g. such as tho-
se emitted by shop anti-theft systems.
