Driving The Twist With The Controller When Installed At The Front - Klaxon TWIST Gebrauchsanleitung

14.2 DRIVING THE TWIST WITH THE CONTROLLER WHEN INSTALLED AT THE FRONT

The front-installed TWIST allows the front castors of the wheelchair to be raised off the ground. This allows to
move around safely even on uneven terrain.
Before driving:
Make sure the TWIST is installed to the wheelchair and that the wheelchair has its front castors lifted off
the ground (see linking instructions in section 10.1).
Make sure the TWIST is turned on by pressing the appropriate button on the battery. Two short acoustic
signal will be emitted by the TWIST.
Make sure the Controller is installed on the wheelchair.
Make sure the Controller has been turned on by pressing the appropriate button on the control. The LEDs
will light up and flash until the connection with the TWIST is made. A short acoustic signal will be emitted
to confirm the successful connection, while the LEDs of the control will remain lit without flashing.
To start driving:
If the TWIST is installed at the front, it is possible to start and stop in two different ways.
In either mode, the Controller must always be activated and connected to enable the device
to brake.
Assisted start and braking through the use of the wheelchair's wheels
The motor can be activated, with the Controller active and connected, by pushing the wheelchair manually
(Assisted Start). When the set speed for the 1st Gear (or one of the speed levels available in WebApp for this
function) is reached, the motor will activate and maintain this speed. Once in motion, it is always possible to
increase speed or stop the device via the Controller.
The device can also be braked manually by blocking the wheels of the wheelchair. This Assisted Braking function
is always possible when the Controller is active and connected to the TWIST.
Start and stop through the use of the Controller
To start, push the speed selection lever forward and release it to shift into gear 1. Repeat the same
operation to increase speed. There are 4 speeds and the maximum speed will be 6 km/h.
To reduce speed, press and release the speed selection lever in the opposite direction of the drive direction.
With each press and release, the speed will be reduced until it reaches the zero gear, which corresponds
to the neutral.
To stop the device immediately, briefly press the stop button on the Controller.
To slow down to 0 km/h and restart without remaining still, press and hold the stop button for more than 1.5
seconds. When released, the device will restart from the speed of the first gear.
Steering
The TWIST installed at the front, and without the handlebar accessory equipped, can be steered by braking and
pushing the wheels of the wheelchair or by performing the two operations simultaneously to achieve a faster
response, just as when steering the wheelchair without the TWIST installed. Please note that the power provided
by the motor increases as the resistance increases (as, for example, when driving uphill) so as to maintain the
set speed constant.
Example: to turn right, brake the right wheel and simultaneously push the left wheel. To turn left, brake the left
wheel and simultaneously push the right wheel.
Automatic speed reduction when turning
In its front-installed configuration, the TWIST employs a number of electronic features to make the driving
experience simple and intuitive. In particular, the automatic speed reduction when turning and the interruption
of motor thrust when a turning angle of around 90°, to the left or right, is surpassed.
Once the curve has been completed and the wheel has been repositioned in the straight direction, the speed
will increase to the speed that was set before the curve was executed (Figure 111).
Thanks to these electronic features, which can be modified and customised from the Web App, the driving
experience will always be safe and adjusted to the user's needs and to its control capabilities.
