WARNINGS.
Please read the instructions carefully. They contain important warnings and instructions.
TA iQ power chair is not intended for users with a weight exceeding 140 kg.
TA iQ power chair should always be turned off when getting on or off of the chair and when assisted by a
helper, so that the power chair does not accidentally move if the joystick is activated.
Do not reach into or under the power chair when the seat lift or seat tilt is activated, because there is a risk of
entrapment of hand and fingers between the mechanical parts.
Check that others, especially children, aren’t too close to the power chair when the seat lift or seat tilt is
activated.
The power chair is EMC tested. However, it is possible that the power chair can be affected by
electromagnetic fields from electronic devices, such as mobile phones. Similarly, it cannot be excluded that
the chair can emit electromagnetic fields that can affect the surroundings, such as alarm systems in stores.
Pay particular attention to late run when driving on ramps.
When the power chair's brakes are disengaged, the power chair may roll if it is on a sloping surface.
Slowing down by pressing the On /Off button creates the risk that the user's torso could fall over.
This could lead to, the user falling out of the power chair.
Slowing down in this manner should be avoided on sloping surfaces and ramps.
When forcing level differences, it is important that the power chair runs perpendicular to the obstacle in
order to minimize the risk that the power chair should tilt.
By forcing level differences with the seat tilted or hoisted there is a risk that the power chair can tip over. By
forcing level differences, it is therefore important that the seat is elevated as little as possible and is as close
to an upright position as possible to minimize this risk.
Driving on slopes should be avoided because a slope to the side will give a risk that the power chair can tip
over.
When driving on slopes, seat should not be lifted to keep the power chair's stability.
When the power chair is used as a seat in a car, bus or similar, the power chair must always be secured with
an approved car attachment. Using 4 point car attachment the hooks must only be attached in the 4
attachment loops on the power chairs. Fastening the hooks elsewhere will cause a high risk of danger to the
user and damage to the power chair. When using a Dahl docking system the instructions from Dahl
Engineering must be followed closely. Failure to follow instructions carefully, will cause a high risk of
danger to the user and damage to the power chair.
Avoid touching leaking batteries, as the contents can be harmful.
The temperature of some surfaces can increase and get very hot when in direct sunlight. Especially the
armrest, joystick controller, back/seat and footplate surface, care should be taken to avoid touching with bare
skin.
Repairs and programming of the power chair must be performed by TA Service A/S or a repairer who is
authorized by TA Service A/S.
Unauthorized programming can cause the power chair to handle in a way that could cause danger to the user
or the surroundings.
Only original parts or parts that are approved by TA Service A/S can be used.

Motor Brake and Electric Brake.
Motor brake acts as brake
-
lock brakes, and is activated when the control stick
is released.
From
when you release the control stick and until the chair stands
still there is
a small “late run” on the chair. This “late run” can be adjusted depending on
whether you want a soft or a sharp slowdown.
It is possible to set how fast the chair's slowdown will be. If this change is
wanted please contact TA Service A/S.
Electromagnetic brake is activated when the chair is stationary and serves as a
"parking" brake.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
BEFORE DRIVING:
WARNING!!
TA iQ is not intended for users with a weight exceeding 140 kg
WARNING!!
TA iQ should be turned off when entering and exiting the power chair and when assisted by a helper,
so that the power chair does not accidentally move if the joystick is activated.
CAUTION!
Smoking or use of open fire, while seated in the power chair, creates a risk of burns to the user or
upholstery.
Footplate / foot rests can be locked to facilitate entry and exit.
Before you use TA iQ, check the following:
- The power chair's speed is sufficiently low.
- Any footrests are properly mounted and locked so they do not swing out while driving.
- The seat lift is set at the lowest possible level and the seat tilt is as close to horizontal (neutral) position as
possible.
NB!
When the seat is raised above 6.5 cm, the power chair seat can only tilt 16 °. If the seat is not lifted
higher than 6.5 cm, the seat can be tilted fully (40°).
When the seat is tilted more than 15° the seat can only be raised 6.5 cm. If the seat is not tilted more
than 15°, the seat can be lifted fully (30 cm)
When the seat is raised more than 6.5 cm or by tilted over 15° the chair speed automatic reduces by
15%.
WARNING!!
Do not reach into or under the power chair when the seat lift and seat tilt is activated, because there is a risk
of entrapment of hand and fingers between the mechanical parts.
WARNING!!
Be aware that others, especially children, aren’t too close to the power chair when the seat lift and seat
tilt is activated.
WARNING!!
When the control box is swung to the side or in to place there is a risk of entrapment in the swing away
bracket. Watch out for your own and the fingers of others.
CAUTION!
Place your feet on the foot rest before lowering the foot rest to avoid risk of entrapment between the
foot rests and the power chair.
CAUTION!
High speed starts can put people in the surrounding area in danger.
The first drives in TA iQ should be conducted in an area where there is plenty of room, at low speeds.

Performance check
The electronic circuits in your control system have been designed to be extremely safe and reliable. The onboard microcomputer carries out safety checks at up to 100 times per second. To supplement this safety
monitoring you should carry out the following periodic checks.
If the control system fails any of these checks, do not use the wheelchair and contact your service agent.
Daily Checks
Joystick: With the control system switched off, check that the joystick is not bent or damaged and that it
returns to the center when you push and release it. If there is a problem do not continue with the safety
checks and contact TA Service or your service agent.
Weekly Checks
Parking brake: This test should be carried out on a level floor with at least one meter clear space around the
wheelchair.
Switch on the control system.
Check that the screen remains on after initialization and that the battery gauge is displaying a reasonable
amount of charge.
Push the joystick slowly forwards until you hear the parking brakes operate. The chair may start to move.
Immediately release the joystick. You must be able to hear each parking brake operate within a few seconds.
Repeat the test a further three times, pushing the joystick slowly backwards, left and right.

Getting in and out of the wheelchair
! Before getting in and out of the wheelchair, make
sure that the wheelchair is turned off.
If the user can transfer itself, lower the tilt and the
lift to the lowest position.
For transferring from the fro
nt tilt the
footplate up
figure 1
For
side
ways transfer it is possible to lift the armrest
up (both sides can be
lifted)
Push on the release button on the bracket to be able
lift the armrest
– figure 2
The armrest can be lifted up along the back rest
-

If the user shall be transferred by lift, it is an
advantage
to tilt the seat and the back to get the
pelvis all into the back rest
