Daily Safety checks
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 your service agent.
Weekly Safety checks
Parking brake:
This test should be carried out on a level floor with at least one meter clearance around the chair.
Switch on the control system.
Check that the battery gauge remains on, or flashes slowly, after one second.
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 3 times, pushing the joystick slowly backwards, left and right.
Connectors:
Make sure that all connectors are securely mated.
Cables:
Check the condition of all cables and connectors for damage.
Joystick gaiter:
Check the thin rubber gaiter or boot around the base of the joystick shaft for damage or splitting. Check visually only, do not handle the gaiter.
Mounting:
Make sure that all components of the control system are securely mounted. Do not overtighten any securing screws.
