CAUTION
Risk of injury due to tipping during operation. Observe
the following safety information when operating the power
wheelchair:
n
Operation of the wheelchair is limited to inclines up to
a maximum of 17 %.
n
When driving downhill, reduce speed in accordance
with the degree of the incline.
n
Do not cross obstacles higher than 5 cm.
n
Do not cross steps or curbs without reducing speed.
The power wheelchair has been approved for ascending or
descending inclines of up to a maximum of 17 %. Driving on
steeper inclines or slopes is not permitted.
In order to navigate downhill grades safely, the speed must
be reduced according to the slope (e.g. select speed
level 1).
The critical obstacle height of the power wheelchair is 5 cm.
Crossing obstacles higher than 5 cm is not permitted. Ob-
stacles such as steps or curbs must be crossed at reduced
speeds.
If there are obstacles in the travel path, it is important to
drive around them with a large margin of safety. On uneven

ground, the driving characteristics of the wheelchair may
get out of control. Therefore the speed must always be
adapted to the ground conditions.
The battery indicator and speed level are shown in the driv-
ing menu on the LCD monitor.
The joystick (see Figure 16, item 1) is used for driving. The
further the joystick is moved away from the centre position,
the faster the power wheelchair will drive in this direction.
The maximum speed with full deflection of the joystick de-
pends on the selected speed level. Releasing the joystick
automatically activates the brake function, which brings the
wheelchair to a halt. When standing still, the mechanical
brake are automatically active so the power wheelchair can-
not roll.
The power wheelchair has a programmable number of
speed levels (delivery condition = 5 speed levels). The "M"
button (see Figure 16, Item 6) is used to increase the speed
level. After reaching the maximum speed level, the control
unit switches back to speed level 1.
