brakes must be engaged, and the wheelchair switched off and on, before the chair can be
driven again.
❗
Transfer to/from the electric wheelchair is only permitted when the wheelchair is turned off
and the lever for switching between the drive and push function is set on both sides to the drive
function.
❗
When the brakes are disconnected, the wheelchair will “beep” and show “PM Brake error”
in the display, to warn that the brakes are disconnected as long as the chair is turned on.
⚠
All wheelchairs can roll by themselves when the brakes are switched off manually, if they
are standing on a sloping surface.
⚠
The push function may only be disengaged by an attendant, not the user themselves.
This ensures that the motors are disengaged in the presence of an attendant who is able to
ensure that the electric vehicle does not move without supervision.
