OMEO EVOLUTION USER MANUAL
Stabilising Legs
The Stabilising Legs are used to provide a stable
platform for you to transfer on and off your Omeo
or to rest when not in Balance Mode.
CAUTION
Only operate the Stabilising Legs when your
Omeo is stationary.
You can raise the Stabilising Legs to free wheel
or power walk the Omeo around without a rider
or lower the Stabilising Legs to keep the Omeo
upright and stable when stationary.
The Stabilising Legs are electrically operated by the
Auxiliary Batteries. They do not require the main
drive or Power Base to be switched on.
Each Stabilising Leg operates independently of
the other and stops when it touches the ground,
so that the Omeo is level and stable on uneven
ground or slopes.
Sensors are built into your Omeo so that in the
event of a Stabilising Leg becoming jammed,
the Auxiliary Indicator Light will emit a light flash
pattern: alternate white-blue, yellow-blue, or
red-blue.
WARNING
Blue light will flash. (Refer to Section 12:
Troubleshooting, Pg. 94).
WARNING
In the event of a Safety Shutdown, the rider has
approximately 8 to 10 seconds from the start
of the Safety Shutdown to come to a controlled
stop in a safe location. Refer to Safety Shutdown
(Pg. 40).
WARNING
Do not attempt to lower the Stabilising Legs
whilst moving. The Omeo must be stationary to
lower the Stabilising Legs.
WARNING
Your Omeo cannot be used as a self-drive
platform seat in a motor vehicle.
WARNING
After a period of inactivity while in ‘standby
mode’, the Omeo will power off / Shutdown.
This is called the Time-out function.
When you are on the Omeo, you must always
ensure it is powered on and the Balance
Indicator Lights are green before raising the
Stabilising Legs.
Seating Attitude
The Active Seat Control (ASC), along with the
self-balancing system of your Omeo, keeps you
in a level seating position at all times, including
when on slopes. This helps you to secure in the
seat and able to operate your Omeo efficiently
and safely.
NOTICE
Your Omeo is not a medical device or health
product. Your Omeo’s ASC is fundamentally
different to the static seats found on manual or
electric chairs. Accordingly, the usual methods
a seating specialist may use to determine seat
attitude, seat back angle and height may not
apply to your Omeo.
Please trial a flat and upright seat setting prior
to making further adjustments.

Customisations, Pg. 87)
