9.3 Slow or sluggish movement
If the wheelchair does not travel at full speed or does not respond quickly enough, and the battery condition is
good, check the maximum speed setting. If adjusting the speed setting does not remedy the problem then
there may be a non-hazardous fault. Contact your service agent.
10 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
NOTE:
In the event of the wheelchair moving in an unexpected way RELEASE THE JOYSTICK. This action will
stop the wheelchair under any circumstances.
10.1 Hazards
Do not drive the wheelchair:
Beyond restrictions indicated in your wheelchair user manual, for example maximum inclines, curb height
etc.
In places or on surfaces where a loss of wheel grip could be hazardous, for example on wet grassy slopes.
If you know that the control system or other crucial components require repair.
WARNING:
Although the R-net control system is designed to be extremely reliable and each unit is rigorously tested
during manufacture, the possibility of a system malfunction always exists (however small the
probability). Under some conditions of system malfunction the control system must (for safety reasons)
stop the chair instantaneously. If there is any possibility of the user falling out of the chair as a result of a
sudden braking action, it is imperative that a restraining device such as a seat belt is supplied with the
wheelchair and that it is in use at all times when the wheelchair is in motion.
Do not operate the control system if the chair behaves erratically, or shows abnormal signs of heating,
sparks or smoke. Turn the control system off at once and consult your service agent.
Electronic equipment can be affected by Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI). Such interference may be
generated by radio stations, TV stations, other radio transmitters and cellular phones. If the chair
exhibits erratic behaviour due to EMI, turn the control system off immediately and consult your service
agent.
It is the responsibility of the chair manufacturer to ensure that the wheelchair complies with appropriate
National and International EMC legislation.
The wheelchair user must comply with all wheelchair safety warnings.
11 SAFETY CHECKS
The electronic circuits in your control system have been designed to be extremely safe and reliable. The on-
board microcomputer carries out safety checks at up to 100 times per second. To supplement this safety
monitoring you should carry out the following periodic checks.
If the control system fails any of these checks, do not use the wheelchair and contact your service agent.
