Driving the wheelchair

As a wheelchair user, you are vulnerable in traffic. Keep in
mind that other participants in traffic may not always notice
you. Keep to the applicable traffic regulations.
Avoid out-of-the-way routes so that help can be quickly
on its way when needed.
Adapt your driving style and speed to the circumstances.
Electric wheelchairs are driven by means of a controller. The controller has its own user
manual CONTROLLER, which has been included with this wheelchair.
Switch on the controller CONTROLLER
Set the maximum speed limit CONTROLLER
Move the joystick into the direction you would like to go
Moving the joystick even further forwards will cause the wheelchair to move faster
Curves
Never take curves at full speed. Decrease your speed before taking a curve.
Use the indicators when changing direction.
Braking/Emergency stop
To brake, the joystick must be moved into the neutral position or released completely. The
wheelchair will brake automatically. An emergency stop can also be made by releasing the
joystick.
An emergency stop can be made by releasing the joystick. The following should be
avoided when driving:
Do not push the on/off button
Do not move suddenly in the opposite direction. The wheelchair will come to an
abrupt standstill with a sudden jolt. Not only is this uncomfortable, it could lead to
tipping over if you are on a slope.
6.3

Driving on a slope

With all adjustment options set to the neutral position (table 3.1), it can be assumed that
when using an FWD/RWD/MWD Scout X10, a grade of ≤ 6˚ belongs to a normal user
environment with no danger of instability. In the technical specifications, you will find this
under 'maximum safe slope'.
Slopes steeper than the normal user environment
Driving on slopes whose grade is steeper than the maximum safety limit can lead to
safety risks with respect to stability. This requires great care and complete control of the
user. Always drive carefully and never take unnecessary risks! Follow the instructions
next to the warnings carefully!
The stability and performance of a wheelchair depend on a number of variables.
Wheelchairs are adapted according to the needs of individual users. This is why variables
will differ from wheelchair to wheelchair. Ask your dealer to inform you about the
instructions for use and the specific settings and adjustments that can influence the driving
characteristics of the wheelchair.
