Use Of The Twist Device By A Third Person - Klaxon TWIST Gebrauchsanleitung

Brake
When the TWIST is rear-installed, the only braking action possible is by acting on the wheelchair by stopping the
handrails or, in the case of a third person controlling it, by stopping the wheelchair. In both cases the wheelchair
must undergo a drastic reduction in speed that brings it close to 0 km/h. The Controller's stop button will
interrupt the power supply from the motor, but the motor will not be able to slow down the device, in particular
when travelling downhill.
Always-on driving safety
Safety is always guaranteed even if the control should disconnect or its battery runs out. In this case, the TWIST
will stop immediately.
The motor stop also comes into operation in case the control detaches from the wheelchair. In this case, once
a certain distance has been passed, approximately 10 metres, the motor of the TWIST will stop automatically.
The motor of the TWIST device does not perform any braking and/or blocking action when
the device is not in motion (recorded speed 0 Km/h). This also refers to the emergency
stop from disconnection when the device comes to a halt (reaches 0 Km/h). It is therefore
necessary to act on the manual wheelchair by actively blocking its movement. It is also
necessary to act on the manual wheelchair to keep it stationary in position.
Monitoring driving information via smartphone
It is possible to use your smartphone as a dashboard to display driving parameters in real time. By attaching
the smartphone to the wheelchair and activating the KLAXON Web App on the Dashboard page, it is possible
to display the travel speed, the number of kilometres travelled, the battery charge level of the TWIST and of the
connected control, and the remaining range of kilometres in real time.
When using the Web App accessory as a display, the smartphone or any other electronic
device they must absolutely be attached to the wheelchair. Always use the TWIST device only
with both hands free and available for driving.

14.5 USE OF THE TWIST DEVICE BY A THIRD PERSON

Should the TWIST be operated by a third person, the latter must read and fully understand this User Manual, the
manual of all the accessories and of the wheelchair itself. We also recommend reading sections 14.2 thoroughly
if the TWIST is front-installed, or 14.4 if it is rear-installed. Please also read thoroughly section 9.2 concerning
the use of the Controller.
Linking the TWIST at the front will facilitate driving over rough terrain and also allows the electronic braking
management on both flat and downhill terrain.
Linking the TWIST at the rear will promote a greater freedom of movement on flat terrain and particularly in
indoor environments. In this configuration, the motor brake management will not be active both when riding on
flat ground or downhill.
When installed at the rear, pay the utmost attention while driving to any obstacles that
could suddenly block the front castors of the wheelchair and, as a consequence, catapult the
seated person forward.
When a third person is driving, the Controller must be installed on the rear handles of the wheelchair.
Never leave the wheelchair unattended with the Controller installed and active. An accidental
pressure of the control could make the device move.
