WARNING
Dangertolifeifthebrakefailstofunction.The brake
release lever must be locked when using the power wheel-
chair. The automatic brakes must be operational and
functional.
CAUTION
Riskofaccidentasaresultofawrongtyrepressure.
The power wheelchair must be visually checked every
time before it is used to make sure that the tread depth is
sufficient and that the tyres are inflated to the correct tyre
pressure. Incorrect tyre pressure reduces the tyres’ serv-
ice life and makes the wheelchair’s driving behaviour
worse.
The control panel of the power wheelchair is turned on or off
by pressing the On/Off key (see g. 14, item6). If the control
panel is not used for an extended period of time, the wheel-
chair turns off automatically. It is also possible to switch off
the power wheelchair with the on/off key during driving. In
this case, the wheelchair brakes immediately until it stops.
INFORMATION
Every time you switch on the control unit, it will
return to the previously selected speed level.
