BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
The balance adjustment system means that the seat can be moved in relation to the frame. In
addition, when the seat is moved backwards, it starts to tilt at a certain stage.
For adjusting the balance, the driving controller must be set to the balance adjustment mode. This
mode is accessed by pressing the MODE button, until the display shows the seat parts (back rest and
seat plate) darkened. The balance is adjusted by moving the joystick forwards and backwards. When
the joystick is pushed forwards, the seat moves forward in relation to the frame.
In the drive position for even ground the seat starts to tilt backwards while the balance is shifted
backwards. The recommended balance positions for driving uphill, on even ground and downhill are
represented in the pictures below.
Avoid driving uphill if the seat is moved backwards. Do not drive downhill, if the seat is moved
forwards. These positions are incorrect and can be dangerous.
Adjust the maximum speed lower when driving up or downhill and when crossing high obstacles.
In case of a fault in the balance adjustment actuator, in its connecting cable or in the joystick
module, the seat is left in the position in which it is when the fault occurs. This may lead to a
situation in which the user has to drive with an incorrect balance adjustment, which in turn may lead
to the fall of the wheelchair.
