6.5.8 Steering lock
INFORMATION
For the models with enAble50 control units the steering
lock can only be activated as described below if the func
tion was previously enabled (see inside front cover). The
factory default setting can be changed by the specialist
dealer.
Please ask your specialist dealer about the setting selected
for you.
The enAble50 control unit in the power wheelchair may be
programmed with the optional 'Steering Lock' parameter.
If the steering lock is activated, the caster wheels or the
drive wheels (depending on the type) are set straight ahead.
This makes it easier to negotiate narrow ramps and to use
lifts:
• When the joystick is deflected forward, the power
wheelchair drives straight ahead.
• When the joystick is deflected backward, the power
wheelchair always drives straight back.
• Turning is not possible when the steering lock is activ
ated.
• The warning flasher lights flash when the steering lock
is activated (standard programming).
Activating the steering lock
1) Bring the power wheelchair to a full stop.
2) Push the [Warning Flasher On/Off] button.
→ The steering lock is activated.
→ All warning flasher lights flash (standard program
ming).
3) Move the joystick forward/backward. The power wheel
chair now drives straight ahead/back.
Deactivating the steering lock
1) Bring the power wheelchair to a full stop.
2) Push the [Warning Flasher On/Off] button.
→ The steering lock is deactivated.
→ All warning flasher lights stop flashing.
3) Move the joystick. The power wheelchair now drives in
the chosen direction without the steering lock.
