OMEO EVOLUTION USER MANUAL
Omeo Parts and Subsystems (cont.)
Riderless Modes
Your Omeo also has two Riderless Modes:
•
Walker Balance Mode, which is power assisted
(when the Omeo is still turned on),
•
Free Wheel Mode, which is non-power
assisted (when the Omeo is powered off).
Both Riderless Modes allow you to move the
Omeo when it is not being ridden.
Walker Balance Mode
NOTICE
Walker Balance Mode is best suited for
situations where it is difficult to manage the
weight of your Omeo, for example, moving
your Omeo up a ramp and into a vehicle.
To activate Walker Balance Mode, dismount your
Omeo and power it on.
With your Omeo now in Standby Mode, push the
Main Control Switch 5 times within 3 seconds.
The Stabilising Legs will rise to allow you to easily
move your Omeo for walking up slopes and
around obstacles.
In this mode your Omeo is best controlled in
Joystick Mode as you will easily be able to push
the Joystick for left and right movements.
When you have manoeuvred your Omeo to the
desired location, push the Main Control Switch
once to lower the Stabilising Legs and power off
the Omeo using the InfoKey™ Controller.
You will know your Omeo is in Balance Mode or
Walker Balance Mode when the Balance Indicator
Lights are pulsing or rotating green and your
InfoKey™ Controller displays a happy face.
For more information on how to put your Omeo
into Balance Mode, see
Free Wheel Mode
NOTICE
Free Wheel Mode is possible when the Omeo is
powered off completely. It offers no power to
assist (i.e. when pushing the Omeo up a slope) so
you will need to manage the entire weight of the
device. You may need another person to assist
with this.
Free Wheel Mode (non-power assisted) is best
suited for simply moving your Omeo from one
place to another where there is no resistance.
To activate Free Wheel Mode, make sure your
Omeo is powered off and there is no rider on the
Seat. Push the Main Control Switch 3 times within
3 seconds. The Stabilising Legs will rise to allow
you to easily move your Omeo around manually.
NOTICE
The Omeo can go into error mode if tilted
beyond 30° either side while in Walker
Balance Mode.
You are now ready to ride your Omeo with weight
transfer and Joystick steering.
NOTICE
Be prepared for your Omeo to move
immediately after the Stabilising Legs
start raising. It is important that you are
seated comfortably and have found your
neutral / centre point of balance, so the Omeo
does not move unexpectedly.
Joystick Mode
Use Joystick Mode when learning to ride
your Omeo, or in tight confines where micro
movements may be required.
Joystick Mode locks out the side-to-side
movement of the seat. You still need to lean
forward to move your Omeo forwards, and back
to brake or reverse.
Active Seat Control Mode (ASC)
In ASC mode your Seat is fully alive to you
transferring or distributing your weight by moving
forward, backward and side to side; to move your
Omeo forward, reverse, brake or steer.
ASC can be operated hands-free by shifting weight
through your hips, or you can grip the handles
and leverage your torso through your arms and
shoulders.
