Wheelchair movement in the pushing mode
Risk of accident or injury due to lack of braking.
When the brake is
released (push mode), there is no braking at all.
When the wheelchair is moving downhill, only the person attendant the
user carries out the necessary braking.
To avoid damage to the Product, it is not allowed to leave it
unattended when the brake is released.
Unlocked brakes can cause the wheelchair to move uncontrollably.
If the control system fails or the battery is low, the wheelchair can be
moved by pushing.
To do this, the brake must be released. The brake
release mechanism is located under the seat in the back of the
wheelchair (Fig. 7.13) and is two yellow levers. To make it easier to turn
the levers, turn the corresponding wheel forward or backward.
If you try to continue the movement by the drive, with the brake
unlocked, the self-diagnosis system will generate a speed sensor error
(see Ch. 11, Table 6).
