Use of the wheelchair
20
The freewheel switch can be set to two positions:
‘Drive’ mode. In this position, the chair can not be pushed.
‘Push’ mode. In this position, the chair can not be driven using the controller.
The automatic parking brake only works if the switch is set to the ‘drive’ position. The
freewheel switch should only be set to ‘push’ if the chair is to be pushed. When the
chair is no longer being pushed, the freewheel switch should be set to 'drive'
immediately.
The freewheel switch is a function that was developed especially for wheelchair
attendants. The freewheel switch should only be operated by the attendant and
never by the user.
Never set the switch to ‘push’ on a slope! When the freewheel switch is set to
‘push’, the automatic parking brake will be deactivated. The wheelchair could then
move down the slope.
5.7 Storage after use
If the wheelchair is not in use, it must be stored in a cool place without being exposed
to extreme weather conditions. Do not place the wheelchair in direct sunlight. Parts of
the wheelchair can become so hot that they could cause burns. The surrounding
temperature when stored may not be lower than 20˚C or higher than +65˚C.
