you must be thoroughly familiar with the wheelchair and its components
you must ensure that the wheelchair and controller system has been correctly adjusted for your
needs
be familiar with and understand all the warning and caution notices about the use of the wheelchair
1.
Before operating your TRAXX 2 Rear Wheel Drive chair, please carry out the daily checklist
of the chair to ensure that all components are securely in place and the wheelchair is
ready for use.
2.
Ensure the battery charger is disconnected from the wheelchair
3.
Hub release system for freewheeling
Check that the wheel hubs are fully engaged. Should the wheel hubs be disengaged,
rotate the hub until it is fully locked into the motor drive shaft. Make sure the power to
the chair is turned OFF before attempting to engage/disengage the wheel hubs.
DO NOT use the motors to engage the wheel hubs as this may damage
the wheel hubs and put you or others at risk!
4.
Ensure that the manual park brakes have been released.
5.
Turn the power on by pressing the “ON/OFF” button on the joystick controller
6.
Check that the battery power is sufficient for your purposes. This can be estimated by the
battery power light display on the joystick controller.
7.
Select a slow speed program to start.
8.
Push the joystick gently in the direction you wish the chair to go. The further you move
the joystick from the centre position, the faster the chair will go in that direction.
To slow down and stop, allow the joystick to return to the centre position. The chair will
slow down and stop. When stopped, the electromagnetic park brakes on each motor will
engage and prevent the chair from moving.
Do not use ON/OFF button to stop the chair except in an emergency. The wheelchair may stop suddenly,
causing you to fall from the chair. This may cause personal injury.
