6.12.4 Suspension
This power wheelchair has drive wheel suspension as
standard equipment (see Fig. 34). The suspension is loc­
ated under the battery cover at the drive unit.
The power wheelchair can also be equipped with caster
wheel suspension (not illustrated).
A spring and shock absorber element on each of the two
steering casters increases driver comfort and improves trac­
tion, especially on uneven surfaces.

6.12.5 Locking the steering casters
The power wheelchair may be equipped with a steering
caster lock.
It locks the steering casters in the forward direction so turn­
ing is no longer possible. Having the power wheelchair drive
in a perfectly straight line increases safety when driving on
ramps or using elevators.
Engaging the steering caster lock
1) Pull the steering caster lock up (see Fig. 35, item 1).
2) Turn the steering caster lock so that the black plastic
arm can be positioned
next to the spacer
(see Fig. 35,
item 2). Let go of the steering caster lock.
→ The bolt of the steering caster lock (see Fig. 35, item 3)
engages with the front fork when the power wheelchair
is facing straight ahead.
→
The steering casters are locked. The power wheelchair
drives straight in both forward and reverse.
Disengaging the steering caster lock
1) Pull the steering caster lock up (see Fig. 35, item 1).
2) Turn the steering caster lock so that the black plastic
arm can be positioned on the spacer (see Fig. 35, item
4). Let go of the steering caster lock.
→
The bolt remains in the unlocked position (see Fig. 35,
item 5).
→ The steering casters are unlocked and can swivel freely
again.
