DOCKING SYSTEM OPERATION
Entering the Docking Base
To enter the docking system requires that you guide your wheelchair over the top of
the docking base until the docking pin mounted to your wheelchair is fully engaged.
TO ENSURE THAT THE WHEELCHAIR IS FULLY ENGAGED, YOU SHOULD
ATTEMPT TO EXIT THE SYSTEM WITHOUT PRESSING THE RELEASE SWITCH
AND WITH THE VEHICLE IGNITION OFF.
Apply the wheelchair brakes and/or power-down the wheelchair and put on your lap &
shoulder belts.
Once the vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the indicator lights on the control panel will
indicate the status of the system.
IF AUDIBLE ALARM SOUNDS AND/OR THE YELLOW LIGHT IS DISPLAYED ON THE CONTROL PANEL, YOU MUST TURN OFF THE
IGNITION, EXIT, AND RE-ENTER THE DOCKING STATION UNTIL THE GREEN SYSTEM READY LIGHT IS DISPLAYED.
As with other adaptive equipment in your vehicle, failure to heed the warning indicators may compromise the safety of your self and others.
Exiting the Docking Base
CUT THE VEHICLE’S IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND PRESS THE RELEASE SWITCH ON THE CONTROL PANEL.
The locking levers in the
docking base will disengage and hold open for five seconds, allowing you to exit the system.
THE DOCKING SYSTEM WILL NOT RELEASE THE
WHEELCHAIR WITH THE VEHICLE’S IGNITION ON
; this is an important safety feature and must not be disabled. If the system is NOT occupied
by a wheelchair user, the audible alarm may be temporarily deactivated by pressing the deactivation switch on the right side of the control panel.
Never lock the docking base manually to silence the alarm. Attempting to enter a docking base that has been manually locked will result in
damage to internal components.
IF THE VEHICLE LOSES ELECTRICAL POWER, THE EMERGENCY RELEASE LEVER SHOULD BE PUSHED TO THE LEFT TO RELEASE THE
WHEELCHAIR.
