4 Checking the wheelchair before putting into use
Be careful! Check the following before driving:
Are the tyres sufficiently inflated (Ch. 7.1)
Are the batteries sufficiently charged? The green lights on the battery indicator must
be on. CONTROLLER
Are the lights on the direction indicators functioning properly? CONTROLLER
Ensure that the free wheel switch has been set to ‘drive’.
When operating the wheelchair, ensure that your clothing does not hamper the
wheelchair (i.e. too long). Before use, always check if your clothing or accessories
do not come into contact with the wheels or and other moving and/or rotating parts
in which they could become entangled.
In winter, batteries have a reduced capacity. During a period of light frost, the
capacity is roughly 75% of the normal capacity. At temperatures below -5˚C this will
be roughly 50%. This will reduce your range of action.
