17.7.8 Free Drive
The i-Drive Power motor is equipped with free drive, which is active after pressing the forwards ( or ) or backwards (
) buttons (until user holds the touch sensor area).
Free Drive is deactivated and the brake is activated when the direction of motion is changed. This is feature for lowering the risks
when going to a slope.

17.7.7 Braking
1. Press and hold the button to brake immediately.
OR
2. Press and hold the button to brake slowly (Press the button to brake when reversing).
OR
3. Release your hand from the touch sensor area and i-Drive Power will brake automatically.
NOTE Always brake the bed by using the castor control lever when the transport is nished or interrupted. The i-Drive Power
electromagnetic brake is not designed to permanently brake the bed.
NOTE In a crisis situation (e.g. acceleration when driving down a steep slope) i-Drive Power dual braking prevents acceleration
and slows down bed movement. However, it is not guaranteed the bed will stop by itself without personnel support (using button
and castor control lever).
NOTE When descending, it is possible to actively brake using the opposite direction button to slow.
NOTE i-Drive Power is not designed for ascending or descending a slope greater than 6° or longer than 20 m. The support of
personnel is needed when ascending or descending with a full SWL.
NOTE When i-Drive Power wheel is lowered, it is not possible to move the bed sideways. Press the button
to retract the
wheel, release the castors to the neutral position and then move the bed to any direction required.
Accumulator charge status:
1. While this indicator is ashing, the accumulator is critically discharged. (LED1)
2. 50% (LED2)
3. 75% (LED3)
4. 100% - the accumulator is charged (LED4)
To charge the accumulator:
► Connect the bed main cable to mains power.
► i-Drive Power will be charged (with the accumulator discharged, the charging may take up to 9 hours).
NOTE Accumulator charge values are just informational. Accumulator life is reduced when the accumulator is allowed to dis-
charge completely.
