ELECTRIC MALFUNCTION
The driving controller indicates electric malfunctions by flashing an exclamation mark (!) on the
display. For safety reasons, driving with the wheelchair is prevented during the malfunction. Typical
electric malfunctions are caused by the connectors or the batteries. The most typical reasons for
malfunctions are listed below.
The driving controller has switched on to the power save mode. This happens automatically, when
the driving controller has not been used for a period of time. The time depends on the programming
of the driving controller. To re-start, switch the driving controller on and off.
The batteries are weak, when battery charge level icon flashes slowly. Batteries should be recharged
as soon as possible.
The batteries are recharging. Check that the charger plug is not connected to the drive control.
The connectors of the driving controller system or the battery have become loose. Switch the driving
controller off and check that all connectors are in place.
The brake releases are on. Turn the brake releases in towards the chair. Instructions can be found in
section “Freewheeling”.
Switch the driving controller on and try to drive the wheelchair. If the exclamation mark continues to
flash on the display, switch the driving controller off. Do not use the wheelchair and contact service.
PROGRAMMING
The driving properties of the wheelchair can be reprogrammed. In delivery, the wheelchair’s driving
properties are set so that they are suitable for most users. By reprogramming you can change the
joystick reaction time, time settings for the power save mode, wheel turning speed etc. If you wish
to change the drive properties of your wheelchair, contact the wheelchair deliverer or manufacturer.
RE-USE AND RECYCLING
Wheelchair is suitable and intended for re-use. For re-use wheelchair is serviced completely. In the
wheelchair there are several different adjustment possibilities. For new user the necessary changes
and adjustments are done to the wheelchair, for example to the seat, to the arm- and footrests and
to the control system.
All the parts that are removed or replaced should be recycled in proper way. There are own recycling
points for metal (metal parts), plastic (fenders, covers), rubber (tyres, arm rests, bushings),
hazardous waste (gas springs, gel batteries).
Other components, for example driving motors, actuators, electric components, seats, should be
deliver to the distributor or the manufacturer and they will take care of the recycling.
