How to engage the electromagnetic brake(s)
6.2
To re-engage the electromagnetic brakes and enable Model A control, use the following steps:
●
Look at the front of the Model A, below the seat, for the electromagnetic brake levers.
●
When facing the front of the Model A, to lock the left electromagnetic brake by pulling the lever up.
●
When facing the front of the Model A, to lock the right electromagnetic brake by pulling the lever
up.
The electromagnetic brakes are now engaged and the Model A will require battery power in order to move.
To test if the electromagnetic brakes are engaged, do the following:
●
Check to see if someone can manually push the Model A. If it rolls, the electromagnetic brakes are
not engaged.
●
Use the Power Switch to turn on the Model A and check that no error code is displayed.
●
Use the directional controller switch to move the Model A: it should move in all directions.
7. Battery and Charging
Before using your Model A for the first time, make sure you have fully charged the batteries for 10 hours.
Please see the Section titled “Checking the battery charge level” for information about the battery level indicators.
With a full battery charge you should be able to drive about 10.6 - 12 miles under ideal conditions. Factors
that will affect the driving range include curves, terrain, driving habits, payload, and temperature. To get the
maximum range or distance per charge, WHILL recommends the following:
•
Always fully charge the batteries before a trip
•
Reduce baggage weight as much as possible
•
Avoid inclines and obstacles when planning your routes
•
Maintain an even speed and avoid quick, frequent stops
WARNING
•
Only use the original battery charger provided with the Model A. Use of any other charger may cause
damage or injury and will void the product’s warranty. Please contact customer support if you need a
replacement battery charger.
•
Battery charging should only be performed indoors. The battery charger should not be exposed to
any moisture, water, or other elements.
•
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, extension cords should not be used with the battery
charger.
•
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not leave the Model A plugged in and continuously
charging for more than one week.
•
If the battery circuit breaker trips (i.e. the button has popped out), unplug the Model A from the
charger immediately and discontinue charger use. Do not plug in the battery charger. Please contact
customer support.
