L To prevent injury and/or damage to your wheelchair, make sure that no objects and/or
body parts are caught in the rims of the driving wheels.
L Follow the instructions for using your wheelchair. For example, avoid driving without
brakes against an obstacle (step, edge of the curb) or dropping down from steps.
L When getting into and out of the wheelchair, do not stand on the footplates. The
footplate should be folded up beforehand.
L Investigate the effects of shifting the centre of gravity on the behavior of the wheelchair,
for example on up or down gradients, on laterally sloping ground, or when overcoming
obstacles. Obtain support from an attendant.
L If you want to pick up something (lying in front of, on the side, or to the rear of the

2.13.5 Your first trip
L
WARNING: Control your electric wheelchair - Accustom yourself with the driving
behavior of your electric wheelchair.
Driving
Once you are seated on your electric wheelchair and have started it as described above,
take the joystick with your hand and push this in the required direction i.e.:
PUSH ACTION FORWARD = FORWARD MOVE MENT
PUSH ACTION BACKWARD = BACKWARD MOVEMENT
Braking
To brake, let go of the joystick, which will let it return to the zero position and slow down your
electric wheelchair to a gentle stop. Practice pulling away and braking to get accustomed to
the electric wheelchair. You need to be able to estimate how your electric wheelchair will
react when you drive or brake.
Driving in corners and bends
L WARNING: Risk of tipping over - Reduce your speed before you enter a curve or
corner.
L WARNING: Risk of clamping - Always maintain an adequate distance from
corners and obstacles.
Move the joystick into the position you wish to turn. The front wheels will turn accordingly and
steer the electric wheelchair into a new direction. It is very important that you ensure that
there is enough space allowing you to go around bends and corners. Narrow passages must
preferably be approached in a large curve so as to allow you to enter the narrowest part as
straight from the front as possible.
Take care not to enter curves and corners diagonally. By ‘cutting the corner’, chances are
that your rear wheels, back of wheelchair will run into obstacles and destabilize your electric
wheelchair.
2.13.6 Backward movement
L
WARNING: Control your electric wheelchair - Accustom yourself with the driving
behavior of your electric wheelchair.
L WARNING: Control your speed - Always go backward in the lowest speed
possible.
L WARNING: Risk of collision - Always look to the back when you go backward.
Backward driving requires increased concentration and care. This explains why we have
greatly reduced the speed of backward movement in comparison with forward driving. But we
still recommend that you put the speed on minimum when you drive backward.
Left and right controls act inverse when driving backwards.

2.13.7 Going uphill
L
WARNING: Control your electric wheelchair - Accustom yourself with the driving
behavior of your electric wheelchair.
L WARNING: Control your electric wheelchair - Never put your electric wheelchair
in freewheel on slopes.
L WARNING: Control your speed - Move on slopes as slow as possible.
L WARNING: Risk of tipping over - Do not exceed the maximum gradient of static
and dynamic stability uphill (see paragraph "Technical specifications").
L WARNING: Never reverse going uphill.
Always approach slopes directly from the front and, to avoid tipping over, see that all four
wheels stay in contact with the ground at all times (ramps, driveways, etc.).
If you come to a stop on a slope by letting go of the joystick, the engine break will prevent
your electric wheelchair from rolling backward. As soon as the joystick returns to zero
position, the engine break is activated.
To resume your uphill drive, push the joystick as much as possible to the front to ensure the
release of a sufficient amount of power. This will allow your electric wheelchair to slowly
ascend the slope.
If your wheelchair is unable to drive up, turn the speed control up and try again.
2.13.8 Going downhill
L
WARNING: Control your electric wheelchair - Accustom yourself with the driving
behavior of your wheelchair.
L WARNING: Control your wheelchair - Never put your electric wheelchair in
neutral on slopes.
L WARNING: Control your speed - Move on slopes as slow as possible.
L WARNING: Risk of tipping over - Avoid sharp bends.
L WARNING: Risk of tipping over - Do not exceed the maximum gradient of static
and dynamic stability downhill (see paragraph "Technical specifications").
Always approach downhill slopes directly from the front. Slantwise approaches can lead to
some of the wheels no longer staying in contact with the ground (danger of tipping over).
The weight of the electric wheelchair will increase your downhill speed. Lower the speed on
the operator unit.
Avoid sharp bends on downhill slopes. The weight of your electric wheelchair could cause
your electric wheelchair to lift up on one side or even fall over around bends.

2.19 Batteries
The standard for your electric wheelchair are two closed AGM batteries, 12 V/38 Ah or 50
Ah. The batteries used with your electric wheelchair are drive batteries which only attain full
capacity after a few charging and use cycles.
If the batteries loose their power after long usage, or if they are damaged, get them both
replaced by a specialist dealer only.
We accept no liability for damage caused through using other types of batteries.
If the batteries are opened, all manufacturer liability and all claims will become void.
Do not use the batteries at temperatures below -5°C or above +50°C (the ideal is: +20°C).
Use only the original batteries. We do not accept any liability for damages resulting
from use of other batteries.
2.20 Battery charger
To charge the batteries, only use the battery charger supplied.
For the user instructions of the battery charger you can refer to the manual that is delivered
with your battery charger.
2.21 Charging the batteries
L
CAUTION: Risk of injury - Only use the battery charger supplied to charge
batteries.
As the charger aligns the charge curve with the batteries charge level, you can recharge your
wheelchair after each use. This avoids any aggressive battery charging and the "memory
effect".
Recharge the wheelchair, at the latest, when the charge indicator on the operator unit goes
into the red zone. If, despite this, you continue driving, eventually only the last red diode
lights up and flashes continually, indicating that the batteries are nearly flat. If you disregard
this warning signal, too, an error message will shortly appear indicating that the batteries can
no longer provide power for driving. The batteries should therefore be charged before these
error messages appear, using the supplied battery charger. Avoid the batteries becoming
drained, in any case.
For the use of the battery charger refer to the separate manual of the battery charger.
If you decide not to use your electric wheelchair for an appreciable period, you must
nevertheless recharge it regularly to keep it in a running condition ready for immediate use.

Removing tyre from rim:
1. Let all the air out of the tube.
2. Insert a tyre lever between the tyre and the rim.
3. Slowly and carefully push the lever downwards. This will pull the tyre over the edge of the
rim.
4. Move the lever along the rim, the tyre will jump out.
5. Now carefully remove the tyre from the rim and then remove the tube.
Note the following before inserting the new tube:
Check the rim bed and the inside wall of the tyre for foreign matter and clean these properly
if necessary. Check the condition of the rim bed, especially around the position of the air
valve. Please use only genuine original replacement parts. No liability is accepted for
damage caused by non-genuine replacement parts. Kindly contact your specialist dealer.
Assembly tyre from rim:
Put the deflated tube around the center of the rim. Make sure that the
valve juts out the valve opening in the rim.
Push the tyre over the edge of the rim, starting behind the air valve. Inflate
the tube slightly until it is round, and place it inside the tyre.
If the tube fits snugly inside the tyre without any folds (in the case of folds:
let out some air), then the upper side of the tyre can be pressed lightly
onto the rim with both hands, starting at the air valve.
Check all around on both sides that the tube is not pinched between the rim and the edge of
the tyre. Lightly push the air valve inwards and pull it out again to make sure that the tyre is
positioned properly in the region of the air valve.
To ensure that the wheel is inflated correctly, admit only so much air initially that the tyre can
still be easily pushed inwards by using your thumbs. If the check-lines are equidistant from
the edge of the rim on both sides of the tyre, then the tyre is centered properly. If not - let out
the air and position the tyre afresh. Now the tyre can be inflated to its full operating pressure
(note the maximum) and the valve cap should be replaced.
When inflating the tyres, always check that the pressure is correct. The correct pressure is
given on the tyre sides.
