Adjustment Procedures

Swing-away Footrest

Length

Adjustment

Adjustments are made with the user sitting in

the wheelchair with feet on footplates.

1) Use a spanner to loosen the bolt at the rear of the footrest support hanger.

2) Adjust the footplate up or down as needed to provide maximum support of

thighs on the seat upholstery, then re-tighten the bolt.

WARNING!

Ensure that desired front rigging adjustment does not cause pressure to legs

at front of seat upholstery.

Folding Back

This is available to reduce the overall height of the chair. Whilst at the rear of the

chair, grip the small lever and push down to release pin allowing the handle sec-

tion to be folded.

Negotiating Inclines

The Powerchair has climbing power that enables you to overcome gradients

of up to 12° (1:5).

Always approach an incline directly, not at an angle, and follow it

up or down directly avoiding zigzag movement.

CAUTION! - Never attempt to climb or descend an incline

which has a slippery or icy surface.

While going uphill or downhill there is no need for drastic cor-

rective joystick movements. The electronic controller ensures

that the extra power required for climbing is automatically ap-

plied to the motors, so that the selected speed is maintained. This

is achieved by the micro-computer of the electronic controller

compensating automatically for any extra power required.

The same applies when you travel downhill. The electromagnetic safety brake

gives you full control over your Powerchair at all times. This unique brake sys-

tem enables you to descend at a constant slow speed.

BE CAREFUL

- 13 -

You can stop at any time while you are climbing or descending. Simply release the

joy-stick as on the flat. The electromagnetic safety brake will ensure that the

Powerchair is positively locked and secured in parking position until you are ready

to continue your journey.

Anti Tippers

These are fitted at the rear of the chair, adjacent to the rear drive wheels and must

be fitted at all times when driving outdoors. Especially when climbing kerbs and

gradients.

Kerb Climber (Std)

This is attached at the front of the chair from one side frame to the other. The centre

climbing shoe is set at 10 mm clearance and is designed to lift the front of the chair

over a kerb higher than this as you drive forward, returning to its original position

due to its spring action.

Approach the kerb head-on slowly. Shortly before the front wheels make contact

with the kerb push the joystick fully forward for maximum power.

Do not allow the power chair to come to a halt midway through manoeuvre. If pos-

sible, use gentle upper body movement to assist motion.

CAUTION! - Ensure all wheels have mounted the kerb before changing direction.

When climbing kerbs you will find that your Powerchair will smoothly overcome

the kerb without the need for drastic speed variations.

Transferring to and from the chair (Ensure chair is switched off)

Circumstances and individual needs will vary from person to person, but if there

are difficulties we advise you to consult your therapeutic adviser who will help to

develop your skill for appropriate transfer method that suit your individual require-

ments.

During transfer always make sure that the brakes are in a locked position and the

Powerchair is manoeuvred as close as possible to the transfer seat .

Circuit Breaker

If your chair stops for no apparent reason, it is probably due to the circuit breaker.

The circuit breaker can be located on the top of each battery box.. On rare occa-

sions, it happens that there is a temporary overload on the electric circuit. If this

occurs, the circuit breaker button will pop out. To reset, turn the key to the OFF

position, press circuit breaker button and then turn the key to the ON position.
