Safe driving techniques
Driving your Chair
Before transferring to your chair from either the front or the side ensure that:
1.
The chair is switched off.
2.
The wheel locks are engaged.
3.
Swing away the armrests and legrests if appropriate.
4.
The battery charger is disconnected from both the chair and the mains.
After transferring make sure that you are comfortably positioned and that the
legrests and armrests have been adjusted to suit your needs. The position of the
joystick should be easy to reach so as to eliminate muscle fatigue during driving.
TO COMMENCE
:
1.
Set the speed control of the chair to
SLOW
as described in the
CONTROLLER CONTROL UNIT OWNER'S MANUAL following this manual.
2.
Release the wheel locks.
3.
Press the “on / off ” switch.
4.
Allow two seconds to elapse before engaging the joystick. This is a safety
feature to prevent sudden starts.
5. Push the joystick gently forward applying a steady even pressure. The
further you push the joystick, the faster the chair will go. The chair will stop
when you return the joystick to the neutral or vertical position.
6. Directional control is achieved by gently swivelling the joystick in the
direction you wish to go. Pull back to reverse.
7. The controller can be programmed to give you the best feel for all driving
situations and only needs a light touch to respond.
In the case of an emergency, let the joystick go and the chair will come to a
stop.
