GYRO
Gyro must be deactivated prior to/during
any transport in a moving vehicle. This
can be done by selecting a special driving
program suited to these conditions.
The Gyro, which is standard in FWD and
FWDS, helps to right the wheelchair when
it would otherwise tilt or topple over, such
as on uneven terrain. The driving stability
and steerability of the wheelchair improve
markedly.
When a Gyro-equipped electric wheelchair
is driven on board a moving means of trans-
port, e.g. a ship, bus or train, the wheelchair
may perform unwanted driving manoeu-
vres. For this reason, you should switch to
Profile 1.
Once you leave the transport vehicle, you
can switch back to another program that
allows you to enjoy the advantages of Gyro.
Enabling/disabling the gyro
Depending on the selected driving pro-
gram, the Gyro is either enabled or disabled.
☞
Follow the instructions in the chapter
Driving program
on page 30.
☞
Depending on the model and equip-
ment, when the gyro is disabled, for
safety reasons, the electric wheelchair’s
speed may be significantly reduced.
