14 Jive Up / QM-710 Stand Up
Rev.2.0
NOTE: The solid state controller has the benefit of a logic
system that will help compensate when driving along a
camber or up a hill. This is an added safety feature on
your wheelchair. In addition of course, you may control
the wheelchair speed by using the speed control.
4.23 Using a vehicle mounted passenger lift
Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses and buildings to
help you move from one level to another.
DANGER!
• Ensure that the user and all carers fully understand
the lift manufacturer’s instructions for using the
passenger lift.
• Never exceed the lift manufacturer’s recommended
safe working load and load distribution guidance.
• Always turn off all power when you are on the
lift. If you fail to do so, you may touch the joystick
by accident and cause your chair to drive off the
platform. Be aware that a rollstop at the end of the
platform may not prevent this.
• Always position the user securely in the chair to help
avoid falls while on the lift.
• Always ensure the chair is in drive mode when using
passenger lift (wheels locked not in freewheel mode).
4.24 Creep mode
WARNING!
Please ensure your backrest recline angle relative to
floor level, (which is a combination of the back recline
itself and the angle), does not exceed 12° to drive the
chair safely.
NOTE: Because your wheelchair is fitted with a standing
module, you will go into ‘Creep Mode’ as soon as the
option is selected.
DANGER!
This is especially dangerous when attempting to drive up
or down a slope.
4.25 Stability of your wheelchair
Please follow the user instructions in this manual
regarding the use of standing modules and the use of
your chair on a slope.
WARNING!
Other variables can affect your chair stability, including:
Movement of the user
Effects of the addition of accessories or other equipment
Inappropriate adjustments or modifications to the
wheelchair
In some cases these issues are further compounded by
the effects of the local environment such as:
• Hills
• Slopes
• Ramps
• Sloping/uneven footpaths
• Dropped kerbs
Furthermore different body proportions of a wheelchair
user affect stability for example:
• Lower limb wasting or amputation
• Increased upper torso mass
• Upper torso height
• Obesity
4.26 Seat stay pin
A seat stay pin is provided on your powerchair to provide
access for service and maintenance. When the seat is
raised, ensure the spring pin clicks back into the lock
position to hold the seat upright.
WARNING:
Do not move the wheelchair with the seat stay pin in
place and make sure you are on flat stable ground. Make
sure that the pin is retracted before lowering the seat.
