3.2 The user
The power assist is developed for users of
manual wheelchairs with a fluctuating or
decreasing condition and/or strength in body or
limbs.
The user must be able to estimate and correct
the results of actions taken when operating the
wheelchair. The user of the power assist should
have experience with a manual wheelchair and
must be able to use, drive, brake and handle a
manual wheelchair without support.
Both left and right wheels work independently
from each other. The power assist is not
intended for one hand operation.
The user must be familiar with the contents of
the user manual before driving the wheelchair.
In addition, the user of the wheelchair must have
been given thorough instruction in using the
wheelchair by a qualified specialist before he or
she participates in traffic. The first sessions in
the wheelchair with the power assist should be
held under the supervision of a trainer/advisor.
Please contact your dealer in case of questions.
Warning!
The user of the power assist is responsible
for complying with the applicable local safety
regulations and guidelines. Contact your
dealer for information about regulations
applicable to your usage conditions.
Driving with the power assist under the
influence of medicines that can affect your
ability to drive is not permitted.
Driving with the power assist without sufficient
eyesight is not permitted.
No more than one person is to be seated in a
wheelchair with the power assist at a time.
Do not allow young children to drive
unsupervised in a wheelchair with the power
assist.
3.3 The wheelchair
The power assist is compatible with most
common wheelchair frames in the market.
The installation can be done with a number of
standard parts, supplied with the power assist
wheels. For each wheelchair frame model a
different setting is needed. Once a wheel is set
for a certain frame, it cannot be put directly onto
another frame; an adjustment to the settings is
required.
3.4 User environment
This power assist has been designed for
both indoor and outdoor use (and as such is
classified as a class B system according
EN12184 (2014)). When driving the wheelchair
with power assist outdoors, it is advised to
drive on paved roads, pavements, footpaths
and bicycle paths. Adjust the speed to suit the
environment.
Caution!
Do not use the power assist when
temperatures are below -10°C or above
+40°C.
Only drive on firm surfaces. Avoid loose
gravel, sand, mud, snow, ice or deep puddles.
Drive carefully on roads which are slippery as
a result of rain, ice or snow!
Clean the system after driving in wet weather
by drying the product with a cloth or towel.
Do not drive through puddles of water – the
power assist is so called splashing water
proof (normal outdoor rain conditions). Never
submerge any part containing electronics in
liquids.
Prevent the power assist from coming into
contact with sea water: sea water can cause
corrosion and may damage the system.
Prevent the power assist from coming into
contact with sand: sand can come into
the moving parts of the system, causing
unnecessary fast wear of these parts
