Please call your dealer directly for maintenance following a motor overload.Safety BeltFor safety purposes, please fasten the safety belt whenever seated in the wheelchair.
UNDERSTANDING THE POWER CHAIR CONTROLLER
The controller is a key component of the wheelchair. All electrical elements to operate the wheelchair are housed in the control panel. The controller consists of a joystick, battery gauge, an on/off button, a speed indicator, an accelerate button, a decelerate button, a horn button, and a charger socket.
The On/Off-Button controls power to the wheelchair. Don’t use the On/off button to stop the wheelchair unless some emergency occurs, as doing so may cause premature wear of the drive components.
The Joystick is mainly used to control the speed and direction of the wheelchair. The farther you push the joystick from its central position, the faster the wheelchair moves. Whenever you release the joystick, it will automatically go back to the central position and the brake will be automatically operative.
WARNING! If your wheelchair moves accidentally, immediately release the joystick so that the wheelchair will stop moving automatically.
The Horn is a safety feature that will create an audible warning sound if you press the button.
The Speed Up/Down Buttons control the speed of the wheelchair. After turning on the power, the speed light will indicate the speed setting. The maximum speed range showed by the number of light cells can be adjusted by users. Each time the Speed Up Button (or Speed Down Button) is pressed, the speed will increase (or decrease) a light cell.
The Brake Lever secures the
wheelchair in place. To park the wheelchair, pull the brake lever back.
Note: When parked on a sloped surface, the brake lever must be pushed forward, otherwise the wheelchair will lose control and result in personal injury.
The Safety Belt should be worn at all times when seated in the wheelchair.
