Wheelchair movement
Risk of injury from uncontrolled movement of the electric wheelchair.
Switch off the wheelchair control device if it will not be used in the near
future. This is to avoid random activation of the remote control.
Risk of injury due to the wheelchair overturning while driving.
When
moving in a wheelchair, you must follow the safety rules:
The angles of climb and descents along which the wheelchair is
driven should not exceed 15 ° (24%).
When driving on slopes, reduce the speed of the wheelchair.
The height of obstacles to be overcome by the wheelchair should
not exceed 15–50 mm, depending on the version of the
Product
.
The electric wheelchair is designed for climb and descent movement up
to an angle of 15 ° (24%). Driving on climbs and descents exceeding this
value is not allowed.
When driving slope, it is necessary to reduce the speed of movement of
the wheelchair depending on the angle of inclination (for example,
change to 1st gear).
The maximum height of obstacles that can be overcome by the
Product
on wheels is 50 mm. When overcoming steps or curbs, switch to the "On
tracks" mode.
Uncontrolled movement of the wheelchair is possible on rough surfaces.
Therefore, the speed of the wheelchair should always be adjusted to the
terrain features.
The maximum speed with full joystick deflection depends on the gear
selected.
When you release the joystick is automatically activated brake function,
and the wheelchair stops. At rest, the movement of the wheelchair is
blocked by an electromagnetic brake installed in the drive system.
The electric wheelchair has 5 or 7 gears depending on the type of control
panel. The speed control buttons (Fig. 7.1, 8-9 or Fig. 7.2, 4-5, when the
main screen is selected) is used to switch to an up or down gear. The
selected gear is indicated by the "Drive mode" LED. After switching the
highest / lowest gear, the pitch of the audio signal changes.
