DRIVING BEHAVIOR
You determine the speed and the trav-
el direction through the movement of
the joystick (fig. 10/
➀
) and the pre-
selected maximum speed of your
wheelchair.
!
Attention:
Drive especially carefully during
your first journey!
Do this by setting the pre-selected
speed to the lowest level.
Safety informations
!
Attention:
Observe the brochure <
Operating
module
> and the brochure <
Safe-
ty information electronic wheel-
chairs
>!
– Do not switch off the operating
module whilst still in motion. A
switch-off will then cause an abrupt
braking of the wheelchair.
– Comply with the max. permitted
rising gradient value specified in
the <
Technical data
> section.
– Start off slowly. Carry out a short
braking and steering test after
starting off.

– Avoid jerky adjustments to driving
status when negotiating hills, trans-
verse slopes and obstacles.
– Always switch off the vehicle and
move the selection lever to the
drive mode position before trans-
ferring into or out of the wheel-
chair! An unintentional operation
of the joystick will otherwise cause
the wheelchair to travel! – Danger
of accidents!
– For safety reasons, never operate a
mobile phone or other transmit-
ting device whilst the wheelchair
is switched on.
Charging procedure
The charging process for gel batteries
takes longer than that for batteries
with liquid electrolyte due to physi-
cal reasons.
1. Switch off the operating module.
The selection lever should be in the
drive mode position.
2. Insert the battery charger plug into
the operating module (fig. 8).
!
Attention:
Do not insert any objects other
than the battery charger plug into
the battery charging socket. – Dan-
ger of short circuit!
3. Switch on the battery charger, re-
spectively, plug the mains plug of
the battery charger into a conven-
ient mains socket. The battery is
now charging.
The charging process only runs with
an intact battery fuse (fig. 9/
➀
)!
It is best to charge the battery over-
night. A full charging of the batteries
takes approximately 8 hours.

4. Disconnect the battery charger
from the mains socket at the end
of the charging process and then
pull the charging plug out of the
operating module.
