Method of Use
Transferring
Transferring on and off the wheelchair requires good balance. To eliminate the possibility of injury, it is recommended performing the following tasks before attempting a transfer:
– Position the chair so that the distance between your power chair and the object to which you are transferring is close enough for a safe transfer.
– Turn the power off
– Ensure that the power chair is not in freewheel mode.
– Flip up or remove armrests.
– Flip up footplate or remove footrests.
– Turn both caster wheels towards the transfer direction to improve power chair stability during transfer.
Driving the Wheelchair
– Always ensure that the power is switched off when getting in or out of the wheelchair. This will eliminate the possibility of accidentally activating the joystick and causing injury to yourself or others.
– Always check that the drive wheels are engaged (drive mode) before driving.
– Set the speed control knob according to your driving ability and the environment in which you are going to operate.
– Start with the speed at the slowest position (fully press the deceleration button) until familiar with the driving characteristics of the wheelchair.
– It is recommended using the slowest speed when driving the wheelchair indoors.
– Always reduce your speed when making sharp turns.
– Do not switch off the power when the wheelchair is still moving forward. This will bring the chair to an extremely abrupt stop.
– Avoid jerky stop, start motions as the will result in excessive current draw from the batteries, increased tire wear and the rapid wearing of the gear boxes and motors.
– To brake in an emergency, release the joystick.
Driving up ramps and kerbs
– When driving up or down ramps, be sure to check that the angle of the slope is less than 10 degrees (slopes about 1/6). Also check that ramp surface is roughened to prevent slipping. Never drive across the slope or turn sharply on a slope.
– When driving up curbs, always check the height of the curb to ensure that it does not exceed a height of 35mm.
